Winter Carnival

The 2007 Winter Carnival will be held on February 10.  This is a fun filled day at Camp Carpenter.  The Carnival from 9:00 to 3:00 where the scouts are free to move around at their own pace to the different activities (you don’t need to be there the entire time).  Last year there was ice skating, ice fishing, rain gutter regatta, mountain man, and much more.  It is a great time to spend as a den.  This is $5 per person if you sign up with your leader by January 28th.   Otherwise it is $7 per person at the gate on the day of the carnival.
