Since nate just flew off to Poland for the JWOC training week, I realized that there may be some folks looking for a little more detail on the Junior Camp during the Convention, I have a draft version of a schedule available below. Note that this is subject to change, but will serve as a starting point for the juniors to plan the week. Feel free to hit me up with any questions.

The base location will be the campground at Webster Park. We will take up a collection from willing participants to purchase breakfast and lunch supplies for the week. The afternoon training will be at the same locations that the other convention attendees will use. It is highly likely that we will need some help (probably from parents) transporting the troops from the campground to the training sites.

"Classroom training" is used below, but is not a good choice of words. This will consist of armchair orienteering exercises, small group reviews of the previous afternoon's training, etc.

Free time will be a combination of "down" time and random fun activities (kickball, ultimate, CTF, etc.)

9-10:30 – “Classroom” training
10:30-11:30 – Free

It sounds like the juniors will be camping at Webster Park. Do they sign up for the accommodation seperately by contacting Rick Worner or are they automatically signed up for the camping when they register for the junior camp?
