In each village there is a fire pit and a pit latrine. Porta-potties are located throughout the camp. Showers are available via a short hike to the Trout Lake Shower House and M&M Cabin. Section II: Arriving and Departing From Camp Arriving at Camp All adult leaders, parents and campers camping at the Ranch must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America, registered for the current camping session and provide a BSA Health & Medical Record parts A & B. All adults need to have current certification in BSA Youth Protection. Additionally, adults over the age of 21 must present a satisfactory Central Registry Clearance letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services. Transportation to and From Camp Transporting the Scouts, unit equipment and personal gear is the shared responsibility of the unit and the parents. Parking at camp is limited, therefore carpooling is highly encouraged. All vehicles will be parked in the camp parking lot near the dining hall. Vehicles are not permitted past the camp parking lot except for unloading and loading. Arrival Time Check in for camping sessions begins on your arrival day at 2pm. You may arrive any time between 2pm and 5:15pm, though we recommend arriving early. Please do not arrive prior to 2pm. Our staff will be spending the morning preparing for your arrival and will not be ready to greet you. Lunch should be eaten en route to the Ranch as it will not be available upon arrival. Check-in Procedures 1. After arriving, please proceed to the camp parking lot near Wyckoff Lodge (the Dining Hall) and park all of your cars together. 2.

Fee Payment at Camp Any fees or refunds applying to your unit or individual Scout/Parent can be cleared up with the Business Manager when you check out of camp at the end of your session. Check-out Procedures 1. At the end of the program, the leader or parent should proceed to Wyckoff Lodge check-out, turn in the weekly evaluation, receive the camp patch and pick up buddy tags. 2. After the check-out is complete, our staff will dismiss you from camp. Section III: Health and Safety Health of Campers Each Scout and adult leader participant at D-bar-A should be aware of the vigorous nature of living at camp. Strenuous activity may include one or more of the following: high heat and humidity, high pollen count, a lot of walking, fatigue and physical competition, exposure to bees and insects, poisonous plants, occasional encounters with wildlife etc. While camp life is not exactly roughing it, exposure to these elements requires relatively good health. Health Officer A full time health officer is on duty during camp to provide medical services for incidents beyond the ability of the unit or parents. Remember, leaders and parents are expected to render first aid for minor cases. The health officer will serve as the first line of care for any first aid beyond the level of the leader or parent. They will lead Medical Screenings, take care of sick and injured Scouts and leaders. Each Pack or family should bring basic first aid supplies. Health Forms All participants (including Adults) who attend Cub Scout or Webelos camp at D-bar-A MUST bring parts A and B of the Annual Health and Medical Record. Medical Screening Upon arrival, every participant (youth and adult) will have a health screening by the health officer. Additionally, each Scout should have their Health and Medical Record and any medication in hand. Medication in Camp All prescription drugs taken regularly by Scouts and adult leaders should be communicated to the Health Officer during Medical Screening on Sunday. All participants taking medication need to have the medication section of the BSA Health & Medical Record - Part B, completed and signed by a parent (if under 18) and physician. All medication at camp should be in the original bottle that includes the individual s name, Pack number and prescription information. Please only send enough medication for the time at summer camp. Over the counter drugs can be administered in campsites only by a designated Unit Leader or parent and only if parental permission is given prior to coming to camp.

All drugs administered to campers need to be logged on a Routine Drug Administration Form, which will be provided. All medication in camp MUST be kept in a lockable box. If you do not have one, we can provide you with a box and a lock for the week. The only exception to this would be Albuteral rescue inhalers, Epi-Pens or other emergency use medications. First Aid Policies All major healthcare problems and first aid will be handled by the Health Officer, who is available 24 hours a day. Leaders or parents should take care of minor first aid issues. Any first aid issues that occur in D-bar-A Program Areas are documented by the area director and the Health Officer is informed. Major Medical Issues In the event of unconscious persons, suspected head, neck, and back injuries, broken bones and etc., the victim should not be moved unless in a life threatening position (e.g. underwater). Contact the Health Officer or Camp Administration immediately. Emergency Care D-bar-A has written agreements with local hospitals and EMS. In the event that a Scout needs emergency care, the leader and parents of the Scout will be notified. Depending on the nature of the emergency, the Scout s adult leaders or EMS will transport the Scout to the hospital. Below are the addresses and names of the hospitals that D-bar-A uses. Lapeer Family And Urgent Care 1794 N Lapeer Rd Suite A Lapeer, MI 48446 (810) 245 1800 Lapeer Regional Medical Center 1375 N. Main St. Lapeer, Michigan 48446 Lapeer EMS 3565 Genesee Rd Lapeer, MI 48446 (810) 664 2927 Drinking Water & Hydration Due to the amount of physical exertion and heat/humidity at summer camp it is crucial that all Scouts and Leaders are drinking adequate water during the day. We recommend that each Scout drink at least 64oz of water each day. Each program area has a water source where Scouts can fill their water bottles. Remember to Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Scouts need to carry a personal water bottle. Bottles are available in the camp trading post.

Special Needs Scouts Youth with special needs need to be brought to the attention of the Camp Director and Program Director at least two weeks prior to coming to camp. We will work with Scouts with special needs. Each program area will have a plan to accommodate Scouts with special needs. Visitor Policy Visitor hours are from 9am-8pm. All visitors must sign in at the Camp Office immediately upon arrival at camp and receive a wristband. Visitor meals are not part of your camp fee and can be purchased at the Trading Post. Visitors must leave and sign out prior to 8pm or will be charged the adult leader daily fee and must have all appropriate paperwork. Camper Security Camper security is of the utmost concern at D-bar-A. We are charged as a camp to keep campers safe and secure. All participants that have paid for camp will be given a wristband. (Broken or lost wristbands can be replaced at the camp office.) Staff and volunteers will be signified by a picture ID. Any persons who are not identified by a wristband or picture ID need to be brought to the attention of the Camp Director. Campers Leaving Camp The early departure of any camper must be coordinated by the Leader or Parent. In order for the camper to be released they must be signed out in the camp office by their parent/guardian or a person specified on Part B of their Annual Health and Medical Record. This person will need to show picture ID in order to remove that Scout from camp. The Camp Director or his designee reserve the right to deny campers leaving camp if the proper documentation is missing. Section IV: Camp Rules and Regulations Emergency Procedures We are currently revising emergency procedures for the Ranch in order to improve safety and efficiency. We plan to add procedures to this guide prior to the start of camp. We will also review procedures on check-in day to ensure that everyone is aware of what to do. Weather Related Emergencies The most common weather related emergency on camp is lightning. When lightning or thunder are detected, certain activities will stop, however alternate program will still continue in those program areas (such as swimming, climbing, shooting). In the event that the lightning storm becomes too intense Scouts will be instructed to take adequate shelter. During the Leader's and Parent s meeting, we will discuss the various areas on camp to take shelter. If a tornado warning is issued the camp siren will sound and Scouts will be instructed to take adequate shelter. Metamora Township has installed a tornado warning siren on the property and it will sound anytime the national weather service issues a tornado warning for Metamora. During the Leader s and Parent s meeting we will discuss various tornado shelter options.

Camp Vehicle Policy A leading cause of accidents in Scouting are motor vehicle related. There are no cars allowed beyond the camp parking lot outside of check-in and check-out days. Camp service vehicles are the only vehicles permitted beyond the parking lot. The Camp Director reserves the right to make exceptions to this policy for delivery trucks, construction, emergency or medical reasons. Uniform in Camp One of the methods of Scouting is Uniform. It is one of the most visible things that sets Scouts apart from others. We encourage all campers to wear the uniform completely and properly. We encourage all to wear the uniform at Closing Flags and all Dinners. Section V: Camp Services Camp Rangers The Rangers take care of all logistics and maintenance on camp. You will see them throughout the week moving and repairing equipment, mowing grass and maintaining the facility. The Ranger Station is located off the Sutton Road entrance to camp. Any maintenance issues should be communicated to the Rangers by contacting the camp office. Garbage Each evening at 7pm, garbage is picked up from the designated garbage pickup areas. Please have your trash in those areas before 7pm to ensure pickup. Designated areas are by the road at the entrance to your tent village. Trading Post The Trout Lake Trading Post is a one stop shop for all your camp business and equipment needs. We carry a vast selection of D-bar-A souvenirs, camping gear, cold soda, candy, ice cream, refreshments, mess kits, nutritional snacks and lots of other items. Regular hours will be posted. Phones in Camp Every leader or parent will need to register a cell phone number upon arrival. This phone will be one of our ways of contacting leaders throughout the week. Keep in mind that Scouts calling home could compound homesickness issues. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is available at the Martin Administration Building. Visit the office for more information. Bandwidth is limited. Food Service D-bar-A currently offers Cub Scout and Webelos camp participants dining in Wyckoff Lodge. Meals are served cafeteria style. Meal times will be posted and discussed at the opening Leaders and Parents meeting.

Menu The camp menu is designed and approved by a licensed dietician to meet the dietary requirements of an active Scout and Leader. We will be releasing the menu in early May for parents and leaders to review.. Dietary Requests The food service staff is committed to accommodating campers with special dietary needs. We have included a form for you to request special dietary needs for anyone in your unit in the Appendix. Please complete this form and submit at least one week prior to arrival for each individual with a special dietary need. Section VI: Camp Program Camp is program! The following pages, contain relevant information on each program area on camp as well as a schedule for both Cub Scout Camp (3-day) and Webelos Camp (4-day). If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact us. Detailed information follows on the following pages. Schedules are subject to change in order to provide the best possible experience to your scouts. Program Areas Horse Program Your Scout will have the unique opportunity to learn about the livestock at D-bar-A. With approximately 3 dozen horses, accompanied by some long-horn cows and burros, D-bar-A is a working Ranch!

Nature Program Scouts will have the opportunity to learn all about local plants and wildlife including the dangerous ones all while going on a nature hike!

STEM Area In this new area, Scouts will learn about Fingerprints and get the chance to play engineer! Other Program Free Agent Time This is time for our Cub Scout Investigators to spend time doing whatever they want at camp, from going swimming to the sports fields, most program areas are open during this time. Flags We holds 2 flag ceremonies a day, before Breakfast and before Dinner. This is when we remember our duty we have to our country and to show our patriotism. We will also convey messages about any changes of program at this time. Meal Entertainment Meals are about more than eating, there are a chance to get clues and sing songs! Campfire Program (Firebowl) On our first and last evening at camp we will have a Campfire Program where Scouts will be lead in songs and laugh at skits put on by our staff. Star Party Is there a clue in the constellations? Come to our star party and look at planets, the moon, and learn about constellations. Half Patch Ceremony Webelos 2 s will have the chance to experience a special ceremony that is just for them, they will receive half of a patch at its conclusion, to receive the other half they must attend Boy Scout Summer Camp at a Michigan Camp next year. Webelos 2 Party Chance for Webelos 2s to have a last hurrah at Cub Scout Camp before we send them on to the wonderful world of Boy Scouting. Games, snacks, music and more! D- Bar- A Academy A Program for Adults who wish to earn a tongue in cheek Degree in Scouting. Chapel Reverence is the 12th point of the Scout Law so we take time to reflect on what reverence means to us at our Chapel interfaith service.

Reptile and Amphibian Hunt Scouts are part of nature and learn by experience. The reptile and amphibian hunt is a chance for Scouts to use their tracking skills to catch animals and present them to the Nature staff for points. Advancement The primary purpose of Cub Scout and Webelos Resident Camp at D-bar-A is fun! However, Scouts will likely complete some advancement requirements while participating in the program. It is up to the adult leaders or parents to track what a Scout completes at Camp. Below is a list of requirements Scouts may complete at D-bar- A Scout Ranch.
