CAMP STAFF INTERVIEWS
Staff interviews for positions at all of the summer camps are taking place. While some positions have been filled, there are still positions remaining to be filled. We are still looking for people, both young and experienced, who are looking for a great way to spend their summer (and possibly get paid for it, too). Positions are still available at all camp locations for interested and motivated persons willing to help provide an exciting summer camp program to the youth we serve.
Applications for camp staff positions are available online at the council website- www.nwsc.org – or by contacting Marty at the Council Service Center at 847-8635-9404 or mschultz@bsamail.org.

Join us for Napowan Venturing Weekend
By Debbie Keyes
Looking for something to do with your crew this summer?
Come to Napowan Adventure Base. Each summer, our council sets aside one weekend at Napowan for Venturers. The camp is reserved from Aug. 1-3, 2003 for Venturing Crews to experience the camp as only Venturers can. In addition to the popular COPE course, the camp will offer Shooting Sports, Swimming, Boating, and Flintlock (the pioneer village) activities. You won't want to miss the Beach Party and several other special Venturing activities planned for this weekend only.
The food is fantastic - not your typical camp grub.
Crews must register, so visit http://units.nwsc.org/venturing/ for the registration form.
You'll also want to check out http://www.nwsc.org/camps/ for more information on High Adventure opportunities.
Come to the weekend as a beginning or ending to your Blue Goose Adventure of scuba, biking or rock-climbing.
