Important Summer Camp Info about Family Night

Posted on Jun 7 2025 - 6:40pm
Mark your calendars:  Camp Friedlander has a Family Night:  Friday, June 27th at 5pm.  If you would like to attend and have a meal with your Scout, the cost is $8/ meal.  You must let leadership know ahead of time to reserve your spot.
  All Scout parents and families are invited to take part in our Camp Friedlander family night to see all of the fun and adventure that the Scouts have taken part in during their week at summer camp. All family members are invited to come out to camp and participate in our end of the week finale. Families are invited to begin arriving at camp at 5:00 pm on Friday night. Dinner will be served continuously from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm in the dining hall. Meal tickets are $8 each and should be reserved through the troop prior to arrival and purchased at Unit check-in on Sunday. Children six years old and under are free. Following dinner, camp will have open program areas. Scouts can guide families on a tour of the camp and show off their campsites. We recommend wearing good walking shoes. Open-toed shoes are not permitted in camp for safety reasons. A closing flag ceremony will be held at 8:45 pm followed by the closing campfire. All guests are invited to stay for the show. Please plan for your Scouts to stay in camp Friday night to help the troop pack up Saturday morning. Scouts who do leave Friday night will need to sign out at the Administration building with a signed and completed Early Release Form (which must be signed by the Scoutmaster)
