Film & Art Camp, 6/25-7/1

Film & Art Camp is a week-long overnight camping experience for Scouts BSA and Venturers.

June 25 - July 1

 

While most of the week will be spent working on these “non-traditional” camp merit badges and the planning, editing, shooting, drawing and execution of each, nights at Camp Verdugo Oaks will revolve around traditional Scout camp activities – campfires, camp-wide games, and general camp fun! Overnight camping takes place at Camp Verdugo Oaks.

 Overnight camping takes place at Camp Verdugo Oaks.

Camp runs Sunday through Saturday. Parents and Families are invited to the closing campfire on Friday at 8PM at CVO.

This is a provisional Scouts BSA/Venturing Camp. You do NOT need to sign up with your unit.

This camp operates the same week as our Rescue 911 Camp and Shooting Sports Camp. Participation is not concurrent and registration is separate per camp.

A Safe & Exciting Summer Adventure

As we all know, living with COVID has become reality. Please know that the Camp Staff at Verdugo Hills Council is committed to a safe and fulfilling summer of camping. Your Scout's safety is our number one concern! As LA County Protocols are changed or amended, our safe camping practices will change as well. For the most up-to-date Verdugo Hills Council Policies regarding summer camping, please visit it here.

 

Peanut Policy for Verdugo Hills Council Camps

Sensitivity to peanuts and food made with peanuts is an increasing risk to Scouts with such an allergy.  At Verdugo Hills Council, we ask that no peanuts be brought into our camps.

Foods sent in for snack or lunch at our Cub Day Camp should be carefully checked to make sure they are peanut free. Any food or snacks sent via Camp Mail to our Resident Camp Programs should also be carefully checked as well!

This means that all food products can not contain peanuts and can not have the following warnings: “may contain…”, “processed in a facility…”, and “manufactured on shared equipment…”

Scout families can help ensure that our camps stay peanut free by reading packaging labels and by reminding children not to share food with other children at camp.

Thank you for your help in making summer camping in Verdugo Hills Council a healthy and rewarding experience for our Scouts!
