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 $15.00/youth which includes the $7.00/youth Cuboree fee and Wilderness Challenge $8.00/youth fee.
Cubs groups can choose the “Cuboree option” while registering on the Wilderness Challenge website.
Cuboree programming will start Saturday Afternoon at 1:00 pm with a camp wide Grand Howl, followed by three hours of programming activities. Groups are encouraged to set up camp Saturday morning; volunteers will be available on Friday night if groups want to set up Friday. Cub groups need to be self contained bringing their own food and equipment.

Saturday programming starts at 1:30 and will involve groups moving through three one hour activity stations:
Activity Stations:
Woodchips and Saw Dust
Axe, knife and saw safety through a series of fun activities. Youth and leaders are encouraged to bring their pocket knives and those dull old group axes.
Lost and Found
Basic compass, map and survival skills are introduced as part of challenging games and a treasure hunt.
Ballista Blast
Working in small groups cubs make a Ballista (a cross between a sling shot and a catapult). There will also be rides on a B.P. Chariot.
Other Activities:
Groups can also sign up for special activities which will be offered at various times during the camp. Groups must register in advance for these activities and time slots will be assigned prior to the camp. The list of special activities may be increased based on offers of service and interest; keep an eye on the Wilderness Challenge site for up-dates.
