Outdoor Programs
Now is your chance to make history!
Totem Pole Village is being renamed to Courageous Women Village, and we need your help!
Look out for applications this fall for your troop's opportunity to name a cabin here at camp. If your troop's application is selected, your troop picture and bio of your courageous woman will be displayed inside the cabin!

Icon Corner: Talk About Wants and Needs
Help children learn the difference between needs and wants. "Needs" are things they can't manage without (lunch, a basic wardrobe, school supplies). "Wants" are things they'd like to have, but don't need (ice cream with friends, designer jeans, an expensive backpack).
Once they can differentiate between their needs and wants, kids can prioritize needs over wants, and some wants over others. This will help your child make prudent spending decisions now and as she grows older.
