Parents, if you would like to assist in helping cook food on Saturday, and/or Sunday morning, please let me know as soon as possible. 

As a further reminder, cadets will need to wear their ABUS, have their 24 hour pack, hydration, CAP ID, required forms, tent and sleeping bag.  We may have a few extra sleeping bags and a tent, so if needed we can assist but we will need to know ahead of time.
