You never know when the unexpected might happen: a major earthquake, fire, or other disaster event could displace you and your family. If you couldn't stay in your home, what would you do?
Join us and learn what to do at our Preparedness Campout 2024, starting July 13th, 2 PM (overnight camping is optional) at the Cedar Hills Recreation Center. Register at: https://tinyurl.com/quakeup071324
At this event, you'll learn survival camping skills for a variety of disaster scenarios from our expert guides--experienced scouts (Troop 618) and Neighbors Ready! volunteers. Our event involves two parts: A training from 2 PM to 8 PM on Saturday, July 13th, which includes hands-on exercises in small groups, and an optional overnight campout in the field at the Cedar Hills Recreation Center. Camp ends at 10 AM on Sunday, July 14th.
You can join us for the training on Saturday only, or for the complete experience, you can join us for the overnight camp, too.
What will you learn? Our scout guides will lead us through these skills: tenting; cooking with non-electric heat; cleanup with limited water; basic first aid; basic sanitation & waste management; and water collection, filtration, and purification, and more. You'll enjoy preparing camp-cooked meals together, including dinner and--for overnight campers--breakfast on Sunday.
We welcome adults and accompanied-minors, 6th grade and older, with a parent or legal guardian at the event. Enrollment is limited to 40 people to keep groups small for a personalized experience. Our $15 tickets cover materials and insurance costs; we also welcome donations. Scholarships are available; send us an email with your request at [email protected].
Don't miss out on this amazing learning opportunity! Pack your go bag and camping gear and get ready for an unforgettable adventure with your community. Space is limited, so sign up early! Register at: https://tinyurl.com/quakeup071324
