ACTIVITIES

Camp James Ray does not have a campsite big enough for the entire troop;

therefore the troop will be camping on two campsites. The Badger, Moose, and

Shark patrols will be on the Navaho campsite and the Pyro, Pedro, and Fox will

be on the Cherokee campsite. The adults will be split between the two sites.

These two sites are next to each other.

For water-skiing and water activities the troop will be divided into 2 groups.

Group 1 will be the scouts in the TFC program and troop guides. Group 2 will be

all other scouts.

The water activities will be water skiing, tubing and canoeing. If you would like

to have water wars, the scouts need to bring water guns, water balloons will be

provided.

Water Safety—In order to participate in the water skiing, tubing, or canoeing you

must pass the swim test. If you passed the swim test at summer camp, or you

completed either the swimming or life saving merit badges within the last year,

then you will not have to take the swim test at the camp.
