You can access this website by going to tvsrcubscout12.shutterfly.com. Feel free to browse these pictures and share with your friends, family, and cub scout pack!

THANK YOU! Last Post for CSDC 2012!

What an amazing Cub Scout Camp season we had this summer. Thank you to parents, family, and friends who sent their cubs to camp. Thank you to our staff for being awesome and giving an amazing Cub Scout Day Camp program to our campers.

Our staff worked hard yesterday cleaning up camp and it was definitely a bitter-sweet moment. I started working at Cub Scout Day Camp when I was 15 as a Den Guide/Chief just like our junior staff. It was a pleasure and an honor to be the Program Director this summer, 6 years later. As some of you may know, I am moving to Illinois right outside of Chicago in a couple weeks to attend seminary and become a pastor in the UMC. As I looked back at Treasure Valley for probably the last time as a staff member (I know, I know, that's what they all say!), I remembered all of the amazing moments I have had there. I hope your cub enjoyed our program as much as we enjoyed providing it.

If you have any feedback (positive, negative, and/or suggestions) please feel free to contact our Camp Director, Jeff Harris, at jeharris@bsamail.org. We would really appreciate it so that we can make our Cub Scout Day Camp program even better next summer!

Here are a few miscellaneous photos and video that did not make our blog previously this summer. There is also a photo from each week to look back over our summer. Enjoy!

Week 5 Day 4

Wow I can't believe the week (and our summer) is almost over! We have been having so much fun at camp that the time just flew by. In fact, I was having so much fun with your campers today that I completely forgot to take pictures! I will definitely post a bunch tomorrow after our campfire as I know our staff has some extra fun planned.

Today, your campers got to mine for gold, make cacti sand-art, go swimming, use our bouldering wall and rock-throwing range, have fun on paddle boats, cook pizza over the fire, shoot playing cards in BB, and have fun practicing archery.

***DON'T FORGET: Our Campfire Program is tomorrow at 3:30pm. Please arrive at 3:15, park in our upper parkinglot, and walk down the trail to our day building. Don't forget that our beautiful outdoor camp is located...outdoors. Please wear proper footwear and bug spray as our campfire is located down one of our shorter trails in the woods. There is NO BUS SERVICE FRIDAY AFTERNOON so please come to our campfire and then take your cub home after. Our Trading Post will also be open after the campfire.***

See you tomorrow!

Well we lucked out with our weather yet again! A quick shower passed by us today with no thunderstorm. We were able to run all of our programs for the whole day. Your cubs had swimming lessons, went on paddle boats, went fishing, learned how to orient a map and go hiking, finished sewing, worked on some leather projects, worked on their Ultimate Frisbee belt loop, and continued practicing at BB and Archery. Check out some photos and video below!

***Coming Soon: Our Campfire Program will be held on Friday at 3:30pm. Please plan to arrive at 3:15, park in our upper parkinglot, and walk down the trail to day camp. There will be NO BUS SERVICE FRIDAY AFTERNOON so please join us for our campfire and bring your camper home after.***
