CAMP YAWGOOG  2002!!!

Our summer camp, BSA Camp Yawgoog - 2002 is almost here!  A great time is in store for you.   The camp is excellent, (actually 3 camps) and very highly rated nationally.  It is an excellent opportunity for scouts to achieve lots of advancement, or learn lots of new skills, or both!   Here is some of the basic information about the trip.

WEEK 4 - Sun July 21 thru Sun July 28, 2002

Leaving:
  Sunday July 21 at 10:30am
(meet at Memorial School) About 6 hour drive. 

Returning:
   We will try to leave Sunday July 28 about 10am, returning around 4pm (meet at Memorial School) - We will call 1-2 hours before we arrive - please ensure your son has a phone # (also on permission slip) where you can be reached during the week and especially Sunday July 28 in the afternoon.

Directions toYawgoog: We usually take the turnpike to the Garden State Parkway to route 87 in New York (rest stop at Montvale Plaza).  Then we take the Tapenzee into CT to 95.  We will drive to Rhode Island, via route 95 through CT, and "make a left".  LOCAL MAP  Follow I95 to Exit 3B (Rt. 138 West).  Follow Rt. 138 through your first traffic light.  At the second light (blinking yellow), take a right to continue on Rt. 138.  Follow 138 until you see the sign for Yawgoog on your left. It can take from 5 to 7 hours depending on traffic, accidents, etc.
