HURRY! REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2011!

Registration is now open for the Cuboree - as announced earlier the Cuboree will be in association with the Wilderness Challenge at Camp Amisk. The camp fee is $12.00/youth which includes $4.00 for Cuboree activities and $8.00 for Wilderness Challenge activities.

Cub groups are invited to register for the Cuboree through the Wilderness Challenge web-site (www.wildernesschallenge.ca). The Cuboree program will start Saturday afternoon at 1:00 pm with a camp wide Grand Howl, followed by approximately four hours of program activities.
