Download the Registration Packet Here: Trailblazer Program Registration Packet 2010.doc Forms are due with first payment by Wednesday, February 10. Can I participate in the activities during the year, but not come to camp? You certainly could - but you’d be missing out on the best part of the whole program! The activities we do during the year are wonderful, fun and exciting by themselves, but they also really build up to camp! The skills and techniques you learn during the year, and the friendships you form, will all be cemented during the camp experience. If for any reason you’re hesitant about coming to camp, definitely talk to Caitlin. Can I come to camp even if I haven’t done the activities during the year? All the activities during the year lead up to camp by teaching participants important outdoor techniques and skills and by creating bonds of trust and friendship between them. For that reason, it’s not ideal to come to camp without having participated in the activities beforehand, and we encourage everyone who’s coming to camp to participate in the winter and spring activities. That said, we’ll certainly welcome you at camp even if there’s a pressing reason why you can’t participate in the activities. If this is your case, talk to Caitlin. ../Camp.html../Calendar/Calendar.htmlhttp://www.everyoneweb.com/augrezduvent/http://www.unite-grez.be/http://guides.beTrailblazers_files/Invitation%20From%20Unit%20Chief.pdfTrailblazers_files/Invitation%20Letter%20National%20Organization.pdfTrailblazers_files/Trailblazer%20Program%20Registration%20Packet%202010.docshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2shapeimage_4_link_3shapeimage_4_link_4shapeimage_4_link_5shapeimage_4_link_6shapeimage_4_link_7
