Camping Information for Klondike

Here are a few more bits of information regarding Camp Glenwood.  I have spoken with the caretaker of the camp.  Also we have a contract with the property owner that stipulates certain conditions for our use of the facility.

• We have been asked that no one go up on Thursday the 11th.
• The caretaker has also asked that no one (except Klondike staff) arrive prior to noon on Friday the 12th.
• There are 174 beds available in the cabins.  (Beds being a relative term.  Places to sleep is probably more accurate.  You will want to bring your own sleeping bags and pads.)  Because we will have more participants than beds, you will want an alternative sleeping option just in case (i.e. tent).
• If your unit uses a cabin you will be expected to help clean it up before you leave.
• Be aware that the parking area is for parking.  Do not set up tents in the parking area.  If you set up in the parking area you will be asked to move.
• As per Youth Protection Guidelines, Adults and Youth will not be permitted to share sleeping accommodations.  Fathers and their sons are of course the exception.  However, they cannot share sleeping accommodations with other youth or adults.
• Cabins will be available on a first-come first-served basis.  There will be no reserving of cabins prior to the Klondike (with one exception.  See below.).   
• If you have any female leaders coming up with your unit let me know ASAP if they will be wanting a cabin.
• Because so many people will be sleeping in such close proximity, respecting one another’s privacy and quiet time is very important.  Leaders it’s up to you to maintain control of your unit.
• Fires, Dutch ovens, etc need to be contained in fire pits or pans.  You will need to carry out any ashes or burned wood with you to keep the camp clean.
• If you are tenting it, no straw or hay may be placed under the tents.
• We need to be out of the camp no later than 5:00pm on Saturday.

We will provide a map of how to get to Glenwood at the January and February Roundtables.

We want to leave Camp Glenwood better than we found it so that in the future if we want to have any events there again we will be welcome. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas contact Klondike Chairman Kelly Carlen at kelly83686@yahoo.com, or call him 461-1060 (day) or 468-1513 (evening before 10pm).   We will also try and put the most current information and any changes on the Centennial District Web Site.
