Q: On our reservation it says we have the ATTRAP, what is this?
A: ATTRAP means the repelling tower. We did this month get the tower recertified but in order for groups to use it the have to provide their own scouts certified staff to run it and use their own climbing gear. On the front page of our website it states as follows: The camp also has a climbing wall for the use of Scouts (with prior approval of the Camps Manager and climbing staff ),
Q: Do any of the buildings have mattresses for the bunks?
A: The bunks do not have mattresses on them due to the health risks of having mattresses in cabins all the time. You will need to bring your own foam or air mattresses.
Q: Do we bring the balance owing with us or mail it in after the weekend is over?
A: I don't think you will be able to bring it because you wont know the exact ending balance for your camp. What will happen is when you arrive and get settled through the weekend the ranger will come around and get your final numbers of campers/Leaders. Then the ranger will print out a bill for you to look over to assure all of the information is correct. Once you have agreed to the bill I will send it to Scouts Canada London and they will either e-mail you the bill or mail it to you.
A
