How To Contact Your Boy At Camp
I like to write a short e-mail to my son each day when he is at camp and I just wanted to make sure that you knew how to send them a note. I have cut and pasted from the Raven Knob website.
Scouts may receive mail at camp.
Please send mail addressed as follows:
Scout Name
Unit Number
Camp Raven Knob
266 Raven Knob Road
Mount Airy, NC 27030
Please be sure to include the Scout’s unit number on all mail; this will make sure
it is routed to the proper mailbox. Also include a return address in case a letter arrives
at camp after the Scout has left. Mail service is dependable, but it is recommended
that mail not be sent to camp later than the Wednesday while the unit is at camp. Mail
can take from two to four days to reach camp. Any letters or packages that contain
currency or valuables should be insured.
Scouts are able to receive Internet messages while at camp. Messages may be
sent through the camp’s web site (www. ravenknob.com). Enter the unit Number,
Scout name, and message in the form provided. All messages will be printed and
delivered to the unit mailboxes with regular mail and messages.
Link
Should someone at camp need to be contacted, the camp telephone number
is (336) 352-4307. This phone is located in the camp office, and is manned from
8:00a.m. until 10:00p.m., with the exception of meals and campfires. There may be
a staff member in the office in the evening or at other times as well. Please note, however,
that this is the camp’s business phone and parents will not be able to talk to their
children. The staff member will take a message and deliver it to the unit mailbox.
Of course, emergency messages, will be delivered as soon as possible.

Medication Forms
All,
I just wanted to clarify how to package the medication for the boys at Raven Knob.
Each dosage must be individually packaged and labeled.
There is a form on the Raven Knob site - http://www.ravenknob.com/pdf/MedicationCard.pdf (Scroll to the bottom of the pdf)
If your child takes his medication everyday at breakfast then you need to have 6 copies of the form and circle breakfast on everyone and circle Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., for each individual day. Then put a form and the medication in an individual ziplock bag for each day. If your child takes a medication at breakfast and supper you will need 12 ziplock bags (breakfast Mon-Sat, supper Sun-Fri). Each dose of medication requires its own ziplock bag, medication, and form inside.
You also need to fill out a Medication Form
http://www.ravenknob.com/pdf/MedicationInformationForm.pdf
These can be turned into Dr. Gregory as the bus is loaded on Sunday, before we leave to go to camp.
Yours in Scouting,
Gray Jolly

Summer Camp e-mails
Scouts/families-
Two crews are safely back from a fantastic adventure at Philmont. Look for the shiny new belt buckles and arrowhead patches and ask the wearer about his trip. A crew leaves today for Seabase in FL to undertake a seafaring trek and do some valuable recon for the troop. Pray for their safe passage and a worthwhile trip.
Coming up on 8/22-24 is the Cherokee/Smokemont trip. This will include camping in a beautiful campsite in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tubing in Deep Creek (it's not very deep), visiting the Cherokee Village and seeing the drama "Unto These Hills". It is a great trip to enjoy just before school starts back. Flyer attached.
Space is limited, so please bring your money for this trip to the departure for summer camp and see Mr. Spiegelman. If you can't do this, make sure you email me that you want to come. Spaces go to the first paid.
Also attached is the adult coverage list for CRK. I hope to be there more than shown but we probably need 1 more adult for Sun-Wed nights. I believe we have 1 or more additional adults coming in for the 2nd half of the week. (Cavenaugh or Pfundstein please confirm) . We have to pay for all adults and we have a program to run, so please do not come up except on Sunday afternoon and Wed night unless you contact me and I put you on the list. There will be no place for unreserved bodies at meals. Bill Marvin is the trip leader, and in my absence, will have the final say on all matters.
Here are the Summer Camp particulars:
1) Meet 11:00 Sunday at MT Tabor HIGH SCHOOL bus pickup. Do not come to the church.
2) 11:30 am pickup the following Saturday (7/19) at the CHURCH. We will all come back together. Absolutely no early pickups for any reason.
3) No electronics, phones or open-toed shoes
4) If your health form is not current, we can not let you on the bus. Please make sure you sign and date it.
5) Bring money for Troop pictures ($10 and you will want one) and T-shirts ($5) Also, a little walking around money will be useful for the trading post this coming week.
6) Potluck dinner at the chapel Wednesday, 5:45, eat at 6:00. Bring lots of food and carpool if you can.
7) packing party 1-1:30 pm Sat 7/12. Your attendance would be helpful
Please let me know if you can come.
8) We need a volunteer to purchase snacks and supplies to load on Saturday.
Let me know if you would like to volunteer.
SUNDAY at 11:00-
Make sure you check in with Mr. Marvin and Dr. Gregory. If you have any prescription medicine, you must have it prepackaged by dosage in Ziplocs with your name, troop, and the type of med on it.
For the suggested gear list, please go to http://bsatroop934.clubspaces.com and look for "Important forms". For a map to camp, go to www.ravenknob.com .
Once you enter camp, come through main gate, continue past admin building, stay straight down the hill. At the bottom, you will see a log cabin. Proceed just past it (straight ahead) and park at the bridge across Lake Watson. That will lead you to the chapel and our picnic.
Wednesday night's campfire will go until about 9:30 for the first part and until 10:15 for the second part (known as the Vigil tapout). Many people choose to leave between the two.
It will be a great week! I hope to see many of you Saturday. Let me know if you're coming.
