Camp Outs

 

In the Chandler/Gilbert YMCA Guides program each Circle is usually responsible for hosting one or more events. These could be campouts, pinecar derby, etc. Its best to keep other circles informed of planned activities. The hosting circle is responsible for getting directions to the campsite out to the Circles at least a month ahead of the event.
