**Dear Beaver youth and families,** Where is Camp Amisk?

**This year’s Fall Camp is going to be on Saturday, October 17****th** **– October 18****th** **in “the donut” at Camp Amisk. The idea is that everyone will sleep in “the donut”, but families are welcome to set up tents outside as well. We are planning on making our Fall Camp a huge success!!!** (Update: You probably don't want to set up tents outside, we will have the fire going all night to keep us warm.)

(More hints on staying warm)

//**We are doing a fall camp this year because during the year we are going to be covering many things relating to camping, and we want to ensure that all the children have a common camping experience to share. Please let us know any concerns you have, and we will do our best to accommodate them. Updates will be posted on the website. Please feel free to add ideas.**//
 * We will be making a stone soup for either lunch or supper (depending on what people bring for it). Please send your child with one or two food items (carrots, potatoes, cabbage, noodles, etc) for our soup.**
 * The reason behind making the soup will be to show how important sharing is. All other food items will be supplied for the camp. The story is attached.**

**Place: Camp Amisk- Waverley past the perimeter across from La Barriere Park.** Those attending are also asked to bring a hammer (for a craft.) Bring warm clothing, including a hat.
 * Cost: $20.00 per person-meals included (Family Price $75.00)**
