Troop 24 is planning a family ski outing on Saturday, February 26, to Sunburst Recreation in Wisconsin for Skiing, Snowboarding, and/or Tubing from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We will leave from RPC at 7:00 a.m. (2 1/2 hours drive), participate in snow sports at Sunburst, and stay overnight at Camp Matawa cabins (YMCA camp close to Sunburst). Dinner on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday will be provided at Camp Matawa. We will return to RPC around noon on Sunday, February 27.

This event is open to all scouts and their families. Webelos 2 scouts are welcome with an Akela. This is a great opportunity to enjoy some winter fun and work on a merit badge. Cabin space is limited so sign up early if you want to stay overnight. Families can make this a day trip if they cannot stay overnight. Please register each person individually.

The BSA requires scouts to wear helmets while skiing, so the cost of helmet rental is included in the prices listed below.

Costs per person:

Ski rental, lift ticket, lesson, and helmet $45;

Snowboard rental, lift ticket, lesson, and helmet $60;

Cabin with meals $60.

Tube rental is also available. For scouts who may get tired of skiing, or who don’t want to ski or snowboard, we suggest that they bring cash for tube rental: 2 hours @ $16 or 3 hours @ $20.

Our leader in charge will be Bruce Robertson. Questions? Contact Bruce at brobertson5152@aol.com or Dawn Gmitro at dmgmitro@aol.com.
