We’ll see you then!

Questions? Please contact your counselor.

However….

It’s looking like it will warm up a bit by the time we get to the park, with highs in the mid-50′s.  Having said that, PLEASE make sure to pack WARM clothes that you can layer together.  This means have something like a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath another shirt with a sweatshirt on top of that and a jacket over all of that.  That way if you get warm you can always peel off a layer if you get too warm, but if not you should end up nice and toasty.

Also please look at your sleeping bags.  Make sure you have the warmest sleeping bag you can get a hold of.  In addition, if you have a wool blanket (not cotton!), make sure to bring it.  What you will want to do is to wrap yourself in the wool blanket inside of your sleeping bag.

Overall, this campout is going to be fun as long as you come prepared!

Lastly, as we find out more information about the weather or anything else, we will be sure to post it.

If you are not a regular staff member and are planning on participating as a volunteer at the Camping Skills Weekend, there will be a mandatory meeting at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, September 21 at the El Paso Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1801 McRae Blvd., El Paso, TX  79925.  If you cannot make it due to work, please give either Mr. Chris a call (915-227-7523) or Ms. Aimee (915-867-7928) as soon as possible.  We need to get the count of who all is going so that we can plan our meals, assignments, etc.

Once again, this is a mandatory meeting that will be brief and informative.  This is a prerequisite to being able to come with us to the Camping Skills Weekend.

Mr. Chris

We are looking for pictures both for the pathfinder website and for the next edition of “The Flame” pathfinder newsletter.

Please send your pictures to Mr. Chris at chris@bluebonnets.org.

We have been trying frantically to find a female sponsor for the backpacking trip. However at this point we have been so far unsuccessful in finding one.

So….

This is our backup plan: we would go to the Davis Mountains State Park and do our backpacking there. While we would be in the same park as the rest of the club, we would go backpacking on the trails there and camp at another part of the park; we would be separate from the rest of the club. It’s not ideal, it’s not what we had planned for, but at this point it’s where we are at.

Mr. Chris

I apologize for not posting it earlier – please use the Beta Fish list for what to pack.
