Camp Emerald Bay / Camp Whitsett September newsletter

Thanks for a scorching hot summer!

It's settled, 2012 has been the hottest summer on record in Los Angeles since record keeping began in 1950, making it the best year on record to get out of town for a week to Camp Whitsett and Emerald Bay! A huge thank you to all of you who made it out to camp this year - with your participation, we served a combined total of 4,939 youth and 1,364 adults over a ten week summer season. These troops came from as far as Texas and Huntington Beach, Idaho and Oregon, as well as every corner of Los Angeles and the valleys. We hope that everyone who joined us this summer had a phenomenal experience and that you will come back again next year!

Early registration specials

To the early bird go the spoils! 2013 summer camp registration has opened already for Emerald Bay and Whitsett, and for a limited time each camp is making a special offer to those troops that register before December 1st.

Cub Family Weekend at Emerald Bay!

Bring the whole family along for some island adventure during the Cub Family Weekend this fall. Tiger Cubs through Webelos can earn belt loops for BB-gun shooting, archery, and art while making time for swimming, snorkeling, canoeing and kayaking. For those with a scientific bent, the Pennington Marine Science Center offers a window into the local ecology in their habitat tanks, wave tanks and shark touch tank (yes, you can pet these sharks). Exploring the hills and neighboring coves around Emerald Bay is a great way to get the entire family interested in the outdoors, especially as the seasons turn on the rustic West End of Catalina. Join us November 2nd through 4th with your entire pack or with just your own family for outdoor fun!
