2 Dear Parents and Scout Leaders, Thank you for choosing Camp Napowan for your Summer Camp experience. We guarantee that your scouts will have the adventure of a life time! Your scout(s) will be submerged in phenomenal outdoor programming, exciting educational Merit Badge classes and more fun than ever thought possible! We at Camp Napowan feel that this is the perfect opportunity and experience for scouts to rediscover themselves in a natural, outdoor setting away from the modern world. We re looking forward to a safe and fun summer that will instill confidence in your scout(s) and give them the opportunity to create memories they will take with them the rest of their lives. Throughout the week, your scout(s) will have access to the greatest young minds of our area. At Camp Napowan, we only staff the most committed, passionate and enthusiastic Scouts. They consistently go above and beyond for the Scouts, Leaders and Camp and have recently been recognized by a National Assessment Team as being the best of the best compared to other Boy Scout Camps in the Wisconsin area. Thank you again for choosing Camp Napowan! We guarantee an adventure of a lifetime! If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact any of the Camp Administration.

4 Contacting Your Son IF there is an emergency at home and you need to get a hold of your son, please call: This line is reserved for administrative questions and emergencies only. If your son has special needs Camp Napowan s staff is trained to work with ALL scouts, including those with special needs. We will do our best to make your son feel like he is part of the collective group and giving extra attention to work through and understand the requirements of the merit badges and activities. The medical form that is filled out before camp is reviewed upon arrival and if there is something marked in that form that tells us your son may need extra help, it is flagged and the administration will be made aware, so it is very important that all special needs are marked on the health form. If your son has dietary restrictions With the increase of food allergies present in today s youth, we at Camp Napowan have strived to make sure that every scout with dietary restrictions are fed healthy and appetizing food at every meal that has been prepared safely. If your son has a dietary restriction, please send an to napowankitchen@gmail.com with the following information: Scout s Name Scout s Troop Week Attending List of ALLERGIES or RESTRICTIONS related to food *Our kitchen staff will try our hardest to make alternate arrangements to allergies and restrictions. In severe cases, we may have to ask you provide some of the food to ensure your son is eating at every meal! ** If your son does not have any health threatening restrictions and is just a picky eater, you will need to provide alternatives to ensure he is eating at every meal. Camp Napowan is not responsible for picky eaters.

5 If your son takes medication Please give your son s medication to his scout leader before they depart for Camp Napowan.
