If your son currently drinks two or more caffeinated drinks per day, start weaning them now. They will not get them in camp and the altitude may make caffeine withdrawal headaches worse. The same goes for lots of sweets.

The temperature may get down to freezing at night; it may get up to 90 degrees during the day.  So layer the clothing.  A stocking cap, long shirt, and long pants to sleep in are advisable.  A heavy jacket is not needed, but you'll want a light-weight jacket that sheds rain fairly well, as well as a warm long-sleeve shirt, and a poncho.

T-shirts were paid for in the camp fee and will be distributed at camp.

Turn in medicine to Bill Veerkamp Friday, 20 June.

Cell phone service is very limited at camp. T-mobile definitely works, all others probably don’t.
