Things Parents/Boys Need to Do:
Notes:
Currently Jason Kelly, Matt Fawson and Jeff Morgan are committed to attending for the camp's entire duration. We would really appreciate it if some fathers or grandfathers could attend for one or more days as well.

No electronics are allowed on the camp. If parents need to contact boys they should call Matt Fawson, Jason Kelly or Jeff Morgan and you can talk to them via one of our phones. If the boys need to call you, they can also use our phones. We will collect any phones/tablets etc. we see and keep until the end of the camp. Please discuss this with your son before the camp so that expectations are set correctly.
