June Navy Camp

Message:

June NAVY Camp is Troop 918 FAMILY CAMP!

Grab your sea bag and pull up the anchor! We will head out to San Diego on Friday evening at 6:30 to spend the night camping on the Submarine base at Point Loma. We have requests in for several tours on Saturday. We've asked for a Submarine tour, Surface Warship tour and a Helicopter Squadron tour. We won't get confirmation until the last-minute due to the needs of the Navy, but it will be a fun trip! In past years we have met SEALs, ridden on an Aircraft Carrier, toured a Guided Missile Frigate and even gone on board a Nuclear Fast Attack Submarine.

RSVP will be due on May 20th, in just three weeks, as we need to provide the nave with a list of names and vehicles going onto the base. The cost will be $15 each plus you will need cash in hand to purchase three fast food meals over the weekend. Click here to RSVP and register.

We need to provide the Navy with the names, drivers license number and vehicle information for all vehicles we may bring onto the base. Please use the link below to provide me with that information for all adults and family members attending this event.
