Hello Troop 4 Parents,

This is from Jeff Nottingham:

A parent's meeting was held at the last troop meeting to discuss the possibility of the Troop going to Northern Tier High Adventure Camp next summer. For the adults that attended, it was an overwhelming 'YES' that we could do this. We then discussed it briefly with the boys at the end of the troop meeting so they could then come home and discuss it with their parents if they were interested in going. Hopefully some of your sons have mentioned this to you.

We realize that next summer is a year away, but if we think that we want to do this, the Troop will need to make reservations quickly so we can reserve a spot. Following is the information that was discussed at the Troop meeting Monday night:

 
What: Northern Tier National High Adventure Program
Where: Charles L. Sommers Wilderness Canoe Base
14798 Moose Lake Rd., Ely, MN 55731
When: Last week of July or 1st week of August, 2011
How Long: 7-day trek
Costs: Approximately $700 per person. This includes the program, airfare and van rental.
Crew Size: 3 adults and 5 scouts per crew.

If you think your son would be interested in going, please understand that he will have to be 14 by September 1, 2011.

Please visit the Northern Tier Web Site for more information about this program.

We'll need to know who all will be interested in participating by no later than this coming Saturday, August 21st.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Jeff Nottingham. Mr. Purdy has the number.

THANKS!
