Winter Camp

This year's Winter Camp will be at Camp Hanes again. For those of you who have attended in previous years, the big difference this year is that more TA schools have been invited to join us. Space is very limited and will be first come, first serve. If you want to attend, do NOT wait. Register ASAP, to save your camping slot.

This camp is for Orange Belts and above. Juniors must be at least 8 years old. This is a weekend camp. Campers arrive on Friday afternoon and stay until Sunday morning. Campers need to bring workout clothing, gear, boards, bedding, and shower supplies. For a more complete list, see registration form. All meals, cabin assignments, and the camp T-shirt are included in the registration fee.
Campers need to arrange for their own transportation to and from Camp Hanes.
