https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeG0L9gwxWmYYih1aFhUy6_kXlZ9C4uGOSERlLqZPo-wp3xig/viewform
Winter Campout Activity: January 27th 2:00pm – January 28th 2:00pm Cost: $10 per person. Example: A family of four with only one cub scout will cost $40.
Directions: -
Mile 68, Seward Hwy, Hope, AK 99605 -
Look for the Turnagain Snowmobile Parking lot. It is on the right and will likely be full of snowmachine trailers. The Turnagain Pass Rest Area is just pass this on the left. 
What is provided: What you need to bring: -
Scouts should bring a small shovel, headlamp, and pocket knife. -
Suitable clothing, sleeping bag, and a tarp if their child wants to spend the night in a snow fort. Stuffing 2-3 summer sleeping bags into each other will be sufficient if you don't own a winter rated sleeping bag. -
One adult per snow fort will be required to spend the night. What you might want to bring: -
For those not interested in sleeping in a snow fort, I would recommend you rent a RV for the weekend. ABC Motorhome (279-2000) has offered our group a $99/night plus 30 cents/mile (roughly $76 plus fuel cost) for a 3-day rental. Pickup between 9am and 10am on Friday, drop off is anytime Sunday, or Monday morning between 8 and 10 am. This price is the same for any length (22ft, 24ft, 30ft) Class C rental. Talk to Tammy and mention Pack 103. These units would not have running water however, the toilets will work. http://www.abcmotorhome.com/rentals/motorhome-rentals.html -
Firewood for the group campfire. -
Snow fun gear, sleds, snow shoes, whatever. Something to Consider: January 27th 2:00pm: Begin arriving at Turnagain non-motorized parking lot at 2pm. January 27th 2:30pm: Adult instruction of how to build a Snow Fort. January 27th 3:00pm: Breaking into adult led groups of one adult per 3 children and begin building snow forts. January 27th 4:59pm: Sunset with a “New Moon” (no moonlight) January 27th 5:30pm: Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts begin cooking dinner January 27th 6:30pm: Dinner -
Dinner-time discussion of winter appropriate clothing and water storage. -
Overnight Experiment: Wet and hang out to dry a cotton, wool, and capilene shirt -
Overnight Experiment: Set out water bottles right side up, upside down, buried in snow and exposed January 27th 7:30pm: Kids choice campfire games January 27th 8:30pm: Bedtime January 28th 8:00am: Adults wake up and get coffee into their system. January 28th 9:00am: Breakfast January 28th 9:24am: Sunrise January 28th 10:00am: Free play and Break Camp January 28th 12:00noon: Lunch January 28th 2:00pm: Closing Flag Ceremony and depart for Seward. Jan 28th 2:00pm -5:00pm: Non structured family time to travel to Seward, eat, and hang out. You can always rent snowshoes from REI or consider borrowing cross country skis from Polly (Chugach gym teacher). Turnagain Pass to Seward driving distance is 68 miles. Sealife Center Activity: January 28th 5:00pm – January 29th 10:00am Cost: What is provided: -
All food and Sealife staff leadership will be provided. -
If your child is picky or is a big eater you may need to eat before/after the sealife center. There are some restaurants that are open during the winter season but many are open during summers only. If you are renting an rv you can always have food stocked and use that as a backup plan also. What you need to bring: What you might want to bring: -
For those not interested in sleeping on the floor of the Sealift Center, I would recommend you rent a RV for the weekend. Since the RV’s don't have running water anyway there is no point in using a RV Park. Darren with the Sealife center has allowed our RV’s to park in the General Parking, parking lot all night. Nearby hotels are also an option. Something to Consider: Directions: January 28th 5:00pm: Arrive at the Sealife Center | Program Name | Grade Levels | Program Description | | Bioluminescence | 3-8 | What mysterious animals inhabit the ocean's depths? Investigate the bizarre adaptations of light-producers in the midnight zone and create actual bioluminescence! | | Cephalopods: The Jet Set | 4-12 | Get your hands into a "head-footed" animal as we learn more about cephalopods through a squid dissection and discussion! | January 29th 10am: Closing Flag Ceremony & Depart Seward |
