Summer is the perfect season for you to spend quality time with your family.  One of the most rewarding and character-building things you can do together is to go camping, and I hope you consider taking your Scout to a session of Cub and Webelos Adventure Camp.  Adventure Camp offers a 4-day, 3-night experience this summer in Goochland County. You can attend as a family or just as a parent/Scout pair.   Meals are served in our air-conditioned Dining Hall, and you can stay in our Tent Village or in a Western Frontier Fort, Tepee, Yurt, or Cabin.

Activities include fishing, BB guns, archery, swimming in our pool, splashing in our spray ground, and so much more.  The theme for this year’s Adventure Camp is “Back to the Wild West.”  Your Scout will help participate in a wild west adventure.  Each session of Adventure Camp will use this fun storyline, with staff members often in costume.
However, the most important part of the Adventure Camp experience is not the exciting activities or the engaging theme.  What really matters is having the opportunity to get up a little early and take your child down to the pond to fish, just the two of you.  After lunch, you can take a walk in the woods and have a conversation with your Scout.  No video games, no cellphones, no television in sight.  There’s not much better in life than sitting next to your child, enjoying a campfire, looking at the stars, and talking about the awesome day you had together.

I hope you have a great summer with your son or daughter, and I hope you choose to include Adventure Camp in your plans.  For more information and to register, you can visit www.cubadventurecamp.net.  This website has information that will explain what to expect from a session at CWAC, including a breakdown of our daily camp life and descriptions of the special programs offered at camp. 
Whether you attend Adventure Camp or not, spend time this summer with your child.  You will create cherished memories, and your son or daughter will be a better person because of the time you invest in their life right now.

All the best,
Adventure Camp Director
