Belzer Day Camp includes a variety of fun
daily activities led by the staff councilors. Activities
include BB shooting, archery, daily swimming, rafting,
crafts, cooking and other scout related programs.
Parents volunteer one day to help drive and chaperone at
camp. Pack 175 Scouts stay as a group other than
Webelos Scouts, which have a separate more advanced program.
Scouts Bring: Water Bottle, Backpack, Swim
suit, towel, sack lunch, drink, rain gear, suntan &
insect lotion (no aerosol cans), no open toe shoes, a
few dollars for the trading post. What Scouts Wear:
Wear shorts and your Pack 175 Camp T-Shirt. Wear
older comfortable shoes (closed toe/no open toe sandals)
for lots of walking. Wear a hat to shade your
head. Do not Bring: Knives,
lighters, expensive electronics, anything that you do
not want to lose, or anything that you cannot bring to
school.
Parents Bring: Their health form, pen,
lunch, drink, hat, sunglasses, swim suit if you would
like top swim (no 2-piece suits), suntan and insect
lotion
Friday Overnight: The Overnight is optional but
enjoyed by most. Bring a flashlight, personal
items/toiletries, sleeping bags, ground cloth, sleeping
mat or cot, insect repellent, your tent with mosquito
netting. You can also sign up to use one of the
camp tents which are near the campfire but away from the
rest of the Pack 175 tents.
Trading Post: The Trading Post sells ice
cream, candy, drinks, camp T-shirts, souvenirs and is
open daily so bring a dollar or two daily (optional).
Tag-a-longs: Parent leaders (volunteers)
can bring their younger children, no friends, $10 per day
paid at camp, health form required for younger child as
well which can be filled out at camp, come any/every day
with parent leader, same items to bring as scout.
Tag-a-longs can do the same activities as the scouts
except for BB shooting, archery and rafting.
Schedule Monday -Thursday: Leave CKS parking lot
at 8:00 am. Parent camp leaders will drive. Return to
CKS by approximately 3:40 pm. You can also drive
directly to camp if you happen to live close by.
Camp Belzer is located near Fall Creek and Shadeland.
Schedule Friday: Leave CKS parking lot at
noon. Parent camp leaders will drive. Parents take home
scouts from picnic or stay for overnight. No returning
carpool to CKS.
Family Friday: The Family Picnic starts at
6:00 immediately following camp activities. The camp has
an optional camp meal with sides and a drink that I
highly recommend. A flyer will be coming home the
week of camp.
Friday Campfire: The campfire is for
everyone and starts at 7:45 and ends at 8:30. The Camper
Overnight activities (hike/swim/smores) are from
8:30-11:00. Saturday breakfast 7-8:30. You can get
up, eat and leave as early as you need to.
