We will be attending our first Washington, DC District Camporee the weekend of October 15-17! It is being put on by the local Order of the Arrow chapter (so it's youth-run), and will feature activities such as canoeing, building catapults, firebuilding, and orienteering. Other troops from DC will also be present, and there will be some competition involved, along the lines of what we experienced at the Klondike Derby (but less intense).
Scouts will arrive Friday evening, set up camp, and eat dinner that they bring with them.
All other meals will be provided.
The campout will end at 10:00 am on Sunday.
The campout is taking place at King's Landing Park in Huntingtown, MD (

The cost for this campout is $40 per Scout, which includes the camporee registration fee, all meals Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday. As always, please let us know if this cost presents a hardship for your family so we can make an appropriate arrangement.
Note that the assumption is that parents will be transporting their own Scouts to this event, or will make arrangements for carpooling directly with other families. Please reach out if you need assistance making a connection with a potentially compatible carpool partner.
