Cold and Wet Weather Marks Winter Camp 2012





Winter Camp 2012 is in the books and was a cold, muddy success!  Over 125 scouts, leaders and staffers came to Camp Yocona December 27 - 30 to participate in a big selection of merit badge classes and activities.  Julie Chambers and Chase Stanford served as Co-Directors of Program and did a fantastic job with the event.  Rain and freezing rain was present for most of the event as temperatures hovered around freezing, even dropping into the teens Saturday night.  Spirits were bright though as everyone gathered around fires in the dining hall and administration building.  The third annual Polar Bear Swim was held Saturday in freezing rain with eight campers and two adults participating.  The theme of this years winter camp was "The End of the World" and coincided with the end of the Mayan calendar.
