To have the best camp experience; be open minded, ready to meet new and different people, respect the soldiers and camp staff, make friends, when you hear a whistle just start running, and when you hear the beagle stand at attention. Join a committee, volunteer for things and just enjoy the experience.

 

We wish you a safe journey and Goodluck!
