NEW THIS YEAR
Camp & Outdoor Badge Documentation Sheets Want to know what camp activities check off certain badge requirements ? All day camp and overnight camp attendees will now receive a sheet documenting any badge requirements completed during their camp session . This is a handy and easy reference guide that can also be shared with your troop leader , and campers can finish up any needed steps to earn multiple full badges !
Registration Deadlines All camp registration deadlines are approximately 2 – 3 full weeks before the start of each camp session . Please check the specific listed registration deadline for your favorite camp session ( s ) and register early to make sure you reserve your spot !
Camp Paperwork Physicals are no longer required to attend our Rhode Island day camp or overnight camp ! We hope this makes the paperwork process a little bit easier for our families . A physical will still be required at Camp Promising Acres due to Massachusetts State Law . It can be dated within two years of the camper ’ s first day at camp .
All camp attendees ( including adults at weekend camp opportunities ) must have a completed “ Required Forms for All Campers ” packet . The packet is available online at www . gssne . org and includes a Transportation Release Form ( youth only ) and Health History Form ( all campers ). This packet is due to the GSSNE Office by the registration deadline for your camp session . Please note that for safety and accreditation reasons , we cannot have campers on site without these completed documents .
