Cost: Scouts - $48.00 | Adults - $25.00
Important Notes:
As part of this campout the boys are given the opportunity to climb through a part of the cave. These are tight spaces and VERY muddy. Most boys choose to trash their clothes after this adventure and take old grass cutting shoes or water shoes (no sandals or crocs in the cave). You MUST have a helmet to do the cave crawl.
The cave crawl is optional and not recommended for anyone who is claustrophobic.
Additional Packing List outside of normal campout gear:
- Helmet for crawl - Bike Helmets work great
- Head Lamp
- Pants, long sleeve shirt and shoes you don’t need back
- Shower towel
