	This year's Chester Camporee is scheduled for May 21-23rd at Camp Chenoa in Antrim, NH. I'd like to leave Chester by 4:30 pm on Friday, May 21st so we have time to get to Chenoa and set up before dark. We will meet at the Chester Academy Parking Lot between 4 and 4:15 so we can pack up the cars and leave by 4:30. Please send your daughter with a BAG dinner/drink to eat in transit to Chenoa on Friday night. I've included a sign-up sheet for this trip at the bottom of the page. I should have done this last week so I would have them back today. If possible, please email me by the end of the week with who will be attending. If you're not able to email the information, please return the sign-up sheet to our next meeting. When packing for the Camporee, please have your daughter help. It makes it easier if they know what they've brought. It will make identifying socks and other clothes left on the floor of the cabin a little easier. PLEASE don't forget rain gear. It's a tradition for it to rain on our Camporee! The girls will be planning the menu for the weekend. Any adults who are attending are welcome to bring food/drinks (absolutely no alcohol allowed) or you can eat what the girl's have planned. Last year our menu was Cereal, Bagels, English Muffin Pizza's and hot dogs. Please call or email me with questions.
