Area Camp Review:

·        The park is free to use. We need to leave it better then we received it. Make your clubs understand the reason we use this park and please respect it.  Sadly there was quite a bit of trash left at some of the sites this year.  Each club needs to complete a trash sweep before leaving.

·        Stay with club devotional Friday evening

·        Sabbath School – club skits

·        Keep same type of activities for Sabbath afternoon.

·        Do not bring your motor boats, fishing boats, etc. This is a family camp-out. If you come you need to be with your family.

·        Praise Team energetic for kids  – Let us know if you know somebody

·        We need to have a Directors’ meeting Friday night at the camp for questions or problems.

·        Remind club and parents no helmet - no bicycling.

·        For canoeing activity you need to have 2 adults and wear life vest or you can NOT go canoeing.

·        We will need 1 to 2 persons per club to help to unload canoes and equipment 1 hour before activity.

·        RV’s. Open discussion about allowing RV’s. We finish this discussion when we have all directors in our September meeting.

Registration Forms are on the website to download and use for your club.

Area Camp Discussion:

 

Reasons for not bringing an RV:

1.      Space is limited – use tents like at family camp.

2.      To be close to nature and your club group.

3.      Be a club unit.

4.      Make a cool design with the layout of your group.

5.      We are using the pattern for Camporee to layout area camp.

 

Reasons we have chosen to not change campgrounds:

1.      Safety for the children!!! The park is closed to the public.

2.      We want the clubs to camp as a unit and stay close together.

3.      This park is closed for the off season and the rangers allow us to camp for free with a service project.  This saves us over $10 a night to use this park in the off season.

 

Please bring PROPANE heaters, safe for inside your tent. Please read carefully the guidelines on a propane heater box to make sure it is SAFE for use inside your tent.

 

NO PETS ALLOWED!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!! This is for the safety of the children.  $50 fine per pet to the club and the pet must be removed from the park immediately.

 

Master Guides will also do Registration

No directors’ meeting at Area Camp

Inspections will be conducted by Master Guides. Site cleanliness, fire extinguisher, etc.

Adult Supervision at all times around campfires.

Your club must supply their own wood, and in fire ring.

Everyone will then all meet together to do their craft (picture frame made with twigs and twine).

Directors need to make sure they have a 4x6 picture for each child.

                Canoeing, Alan and Master Guides

Ice Skating

 

We had a GREAT turn out this year.  The directors wanted to keep it at the Parks Mall, it is closer.  Please come early, in order to accommodate for sizing and timing reasons.

 

Suggestions for next year: 

Assign times to clubs,

Buy extended time slot, maybe three hours verses two hours.

 

Limit ice skating to Adventurers and immediate family only.  Area has grown too much to leave it as an open invitation.

 

Encourage kids to wear their field uniforms.

 

Get a head count of attendees a month ahead so that we know a “rough” number of people to account for. Bring the number of club members to the directors’ meeting the month before Ice Skating.

 

 

Bowling

 

Need to know the number of people by Monday for bowling.

 

Time:  6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, so that we have the whole place.

60 lanes, 6 people per lane

 

Open to Adventurers and immediate family only.

 

Cost:  $5.50

Date:  February 10, 2008

Place:  Cityview Don Carter’s Bowling Alley

 

 

Second Inspection

 

If you passed the first Inspection, you do not have to have a second one.

 

Stay consistent – navy blue socks, no sandals.

 

Fort Worth First Inspection – March 2

 

 

Fun Day

 

Hand out “prizes” for KFW Area points.

 

Bounce house

Dunking booths

Water Games

Water Guns

Flying Kites

 

 

Date and Time:  May 4, 2008, 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

 

Possible Places:

Fort Worth South Spanish church parking lot

Fort Worth First lot and Gym

Benbrook Park – reserve for ceremonies

Wear field uniforms.

 

Invite church members and kids to Fun Day.  It is a good opportunity to promote Adventurers.

MINUTES FROM DIRECTOR’S MEETING NOVEMBER 17, 2007  

CLUBS ATTENDING:

Alvarado English – Lisa Pillow

Arlington Spanish North – Lisandra Lleras/Niola Conde

Cleburne First – Mayron Westerman

Fort Worth Spanish Salim: Magalys Gomez

Fort Worth Spanish South – Celeste Mendez

Hurst English – Johnny & Sonje Jasper

Keene Fort Worth Korean – Sung Hee Lee/Choi Chul Ho

 

Minutes taken by Lisa Pillow

 

  1. WELCOME – Ada Gomez
  2. BIBLE READING – Alan Weis
  3. OPENING PRAYER – Celeste Mendez
  4. CEREMONIES – There are 3 different Adventurer ceremonies:
    1. Induction – This ceremony is a welcome to the Adventurer program and is also the dedication of all members and staff to God. Adventurers should get inducted by giving them their scarf and slide, membership card and Adventurer pin. For this ceremony they must use the altar as a symbol of their dedication to God.
    2. Investiture – This ceremony marks the culmination of all the work done by the Adventurers (all requirements). Adventurers should get their class pin.
    3. Blessing Service – This is a separate ceremony usually done in a club meeting, vespers, etc; where parents bless their kids and ask God for direction.
  5. DO NOT COMBINE Adventurers & Pathfinders Ceremonies. They are 2 different clubs and they have their own ceremonies. Adventurers need to know that they are a separate club and ARE SPECIAL.
  6. ADVENTURER SABBATH – Do not combine Adventurer and Pathfinder Sabbath. Usually the children never get the chance to participate. They need to participate in all the church service. If you get the chance you can have more that one Adventurer Sabbath or ask the church board meeting in your church for one Sabbath a month where Adventurers can wear their uniform and do some activities in your church (pick up the offering, usher, Sabbath school, special music, etc). Salim Church uses Sabbath School for Adventurers and Church Service for Pathfinders; this is a good idea if you want to have both clubs the same day.
  7. ALWAYS ASK A COORDINATOR - to be present in your ceremonies, Adventurer Sabbath, and inspection.
  8. CONFERENCE POINTS – you need to report all your club activities every 5th of the month. But the only way you get your points for ceremonies, inspections and Sabbaths, is if your coordinator is present for that activity.
  9. AREA POINTS – you will get these points if you attend all area activities (certification on time, area dues, director’s meeting, area camps, inspections, etc) At the end of this Adventurer year there will be trophies for the 3 first divisions.
    1. First division: 90-100%
    2. Second division: 80-89%
    3. Third division: 70-79%
    4. Participation ribbon:  69% and under
  10. AREA CAMP – AWARD FOR BEST CAMP LAY OUT – We encourage you to bring tents for this area camp as you do for the Family Camp. The purpose of camping is to bring kids closer to nature. Please make this camp a time to enjoy God’s creation.
    1. Theme: “God’s Creation”
    2. Place: West Lofer’s Bend Park
    3. Deadline will be January 31, 2008; cost will be $8.00 per person, after the 31st the cost will go to $15.00 per person. Last day to register for this price will be Monday, March 10th, 2008.
    4. Day passes will be $5.00 for adults and non participating children (these are Adventurer siblings), and $8.00 for participating children. Everyone has to register with their clubs. Anyone who comes on Saturday that is not registered will have to pay at the gate on Saturday.
    5. No cars moving during Area camp.
    6. Time to arrive and set up camp: 2:00 – 10:00 PM
    7. No pets allowed. $50.00 fee per pet and needs to leave premises.
    8. 1 trailer per club (Cooking or storage trailer).
    9. There will be 5 electrical sites for those who need to bring RV’s for medical reason. The cost per night will be $25.00 plus camp fee. They will be near the entrance in the first loop (first come, first serve). There are other RV sites available just with water at $10.00 per night plus camp fee, in the 2nd and 3rd. loop (first come, first serve). You will not be able to drive during camping time. Make plans to bring bicycles and ride.
    10. Restroom cleaning – up keep by clubs every 2 hours.
    11. PARENT’S ARE TO WATCH THEIR CHILDREN. PARENTS NEED TO GO TO ALL ACTIVITIES. DON’T LET YOUR CHILDREN GO BY THEMSELVES TO THE RESTROOM. Pretend that you don’t know who is camping beside you.

There has been an excess of camp trailers and not enough electricity/water sites. 

 

New KFW Policy for camping

1.      Every club will be guaranteed one water/electricity site. Because of the growth of our area, we can not guarantee water/electricity sites beyond that. 

2.      Additional water/electricity sites if available will be on a first come, first serve basis, and will be additional cost of $25.00 per premium site.

3.      There will be no guarantee with the premium sites that you will be placed with your club.

4.      Additional sites at front will be saved for emergency overflow.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and support, and God bless you.
