Climbing History at The Rock

Why is Camp Rock Enon special?

Great staff like Gary Moore, for one.

And great Scouts like Warren Drummond for another. Wow, just amazing. How thrilling was that? And how thrilling for Warren!

Watch the video (and send a comment to TV3 in Winchester about the great coverage of Camp Rock Enon and what it offers!).

Summer camp is where the memories of a lifetime are made...even if you are watching or helping someone else!

GOREgeous in Gore!

Weather plays a huge role in a summer camp experience.

Tomorrow begins the first official day of summer camp at Camp Rock Enon. Hundreds of Cub Scouts, scads of dads, many moms, and legions of leaders will arrive and invade the tranquility.

Right now, the weather looks great for the week. Just the usual chance of afternoon thunderboomers to mess up the lakefront plans.

We have been to CRE for summer camp when there wasn't a drop of rain to be found, searing heat, 50 degree mornings (on the day of the Polar Bear Swim), and constant rain (12 inches in 3 days).

Still, it is perfect. The weather just adds spice to the memories.

See you at camp.

Camperships to Camp Rock Enon

Summer camp is right around the corner.  Long, hot days, plenty of bugs, great programs, and plenty of swimming.  

This year's summer camp rates are a bargain.

But some Scouts will have trouble making ends meet.  

And that is where your Order of the Arrow at Camp Rock Enon comes in.  The Shenshawpotoo Lodge offers "camperships" to help defray the costs for those Scouts in need.

Flip back to page 17 (out of 19 in the document) for the Campership Application.  Scouts may qualify for up to 50% credit.  Only Shenandoah Area Council Scouts may apply.

This is available for Cub Scouts as well as Boy Scouts.

The deadline is fast approaching:  15 APR 2009.  Get yours in today!

Has your unit used the Campership program?  Are you seeing more need this year?  Have you even heard of the Campership program?  Comment!
