Share YOUR Fun at Camp Rock Enon


Have you ever had fun at Camp Rock Enon?

Earned a merit badge, used a shotgun, climbed a cliff, caught a fish...or just enjoyed a cold day in the snow?

So the big question:  WHY ARE YOU KEEPING ALL THE FUN TO YOURSELF?

Last year, thousands of Scouts stayed for summer camp or came back for other weekends during the off-season.

Camp Rock Enon would like to hear from YOU!

Here's how...

Facebook
You can post your pictures and comments to Camp Rock Enon on Facebook.
Search for Camp Rock Enon and friend him...her...it.  CRE has even been known to add comments and chat a little.
Camp Rock Enon really likes to be tagged on pictures.  When you look as good as CRE, that's just the way it is.

Email
Camp Rock Enon has email.  Yep, and it isn't the Ranger's email either.
Send a picture and a little information about what you did at camp, and we'll share it on this blog.
Have an idea?  CRE can forward your camp suggestion straight to the Camping Committee.  Seriously, CRE is that powerful.

Twitter
Do you tweet?  Camp Rock Enon does!  "Follow" me, boys!...and girls!...and adults!  Now that CRE has wireless, the birds aren't the only ones who tweet.

Scouts and Scouters--if you see Pooh, tell him I'm watching...always watching...
