NOTE – day 1 we need to be there a little early as that day there is more that needs to be communicated and such to all attendees. One of these dates, we will need to stay behind for 10-15 extra minutes to clean up in the classrooms. At this time I don’t know which day it will be I will let you know when we find out.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Marengo Caves 1-23-2015

Consent Form Marengo Caves 1-23-15

Marengo Caves Release Form

Happy New Year.

Attached is the Troop Permission form AND the Marengo Cave Release Form. Both forms are due back by the January 13 Troop Meeting. Due to the distance of the drive, we need to make sure we have a solid headcount well in advance to ensure we have enough seatbelts for the boys.

This is a really different/fun trip as we will be going through both a dry and a wet cave. The dry cave is something that anyone from 1 years old to 100 years old can do. The wet cave is more of an adventure where we will get muddy and wet in a controlled environment. We will be sleeping on bunks in a heated cinder-block building close to the cave. Showers will be available for those that wish to use them (most don’t). This is a great campout for any parent who likes the outdoors but may not like sleeping on the ground in the cold.

Two Caving Tours = $36
Two nights at the lodge = $14
Food for the weekend = $10
TOTAL = $60

 Please have BOTH forms returned by 1/13.

Thanks,
