There will be a limited amount of camping gear available for rental at an additional charge for those troops who desire to fly into our local airport. (Located just a few miles from the caverns, airport code is TRI). If there are enough troops and interest we will investigate the possibility of offering shuttle services to offsite activities for an additional fee.
There are a limited number of campsites with electricity for an additional fee so if you are bringing a popup camper and need electricity please indicate it on the registration form.
We do have flushies and showers on site.
New this year is the option to participate with other troops in Round Robin breakfasts and Potluck suppers or you can just cook all your meals on your own. Whichever you prefer to do is ok with us.
Prices are estimated and cannot be completely confirmed until after the first of the year when we can get confirmed agreements with the other groups working with us but should not vary by more than $10 or so.
Check in begins anytime on Sunday with the first events tentatively scheduled to begin on Monday evening so if you want to arrive on Monday that's ok too.
T-Shirts will be available for purchase with advance order for $10-$12 each.
Release forms will be added for download as they become available.
Come stay all week or just a few days. Its up
to you and your troop.
