Does a little pampering sound good? We have some massages still available, and if we book four more, our massage therapist will drop the price of ALL massages from $45 for 30 minutes to $40 for 30 minutes. (Those who have pre-paid would get a $5 rebate.) If interested, please see Marie Wright at check-in. The massage times available are: 024- Saturday 8:15 - 8:45 AM, 062- Saturday 1:00 - 1:30 PM, 064- Saturday 2:45 - 3:15 PM, 065- Saturday 3:30 - 4:00 PM, and 091- Sunday 11:15 -11:45 AM. |

We are in need of a few more camp helpers: two for the 8:15 Saturday morning time slot and one for the 10:00 Saturday morning time slot. You get a $5 cash rebate after finishing your helper shift! If anyone can help us out during those times please let us know at check-in. Thanks. |

We're having a Mardi Gras parade and mask/costume contest!
The fun begins at 8:00pm after dinner on Saturday. Each bunk unit will be designated as a Mardi Gras "krewe" and is asked to have a sign or a improvised "float" for the parade. You will find one foamcore board, markers, paper, and a few additional supplies in the common area of your unit for your decorating pleasure, but you may wish to bring additional supplies from home. There is no specific time designated for creating the sign; whoever volunteers to work on it in your unit may wish to do it as a late-night or early-morning activity, or during other free time. Afterwards, campers can earn bead necklaces by participating at several activity stations, including songs, stargazing, mask making, bead making, and T-shirt decorating. (Bring a t-shirt from home if you wish to decorate one.) There will be a $2 fee for anyone wishing to decorate a T-shirt who did not participate in Friday's silk screening class, but the remaining activities are free of charge and we hope everyone will join in on the fun. |

Service Project: In keeping with this year's theme of Mardi Gras,
please bring one NEW stuffed toy that is purple, green, or
yellow in color with you to Camp to benefit locally displaced-by-fire &
traumatized children care of Camp Misty Mountain's Fire Department -
Station 8. A cute stuffed animal goes a long way in helping to distract
a distressed child during scary times (home is ablaze, the loud sirens
during a rescue, etc.) We have invited the firefighters of Station 8 to
come to dinner Saturday Night to receive the stuffed animals. Please
place your new stuffed toy on the marked table in the dining hall upon
check-in. |

We have an updated songbook for the GS Sing-Along, also
the Graces! Print a copy if you'd like one of your own: |
GRACES: We are asking that each unit at camp take a turn leading the grace at mealtimes. Please plan to meet with your cabin mates and select a grace to lead. Grace will be sung 15 minutes after the “start” of the meal (allowing for late arrivals).
We ask that you be in the dining hall ready to lead the grace at the following times
|
|
 |
Cabin Kapers: You
will be asked to sign up for your choice of unit Kapers when you arrive at camp. Kaper charts will be posted in each unit. In addition, units will rotate responsibility for Dining Hall Kapers.
Dining Hall Kapers are performed during the last 15 minutes of the meal time and consist of wiping the dining hall tables, sweeping the floor, checking the restroom to see if supplies are needed (hand soap, paper towels, toilet tissue); no trash on floor, and change trash liner if needed.

Goodies for freebie table – do you have leftover craft supplies? Has your troop outgrown activities? Do you have extra badges/patches to donate? Please bring anything you would like to share with others (please leave junky trash at home, though). Bring some, take some! |

We will also have order forms at camp. |
FAQ
-
Why was the date moved from the 3rd weekend of January to the 4th weekend? Is this going to be a permanent date change?
Mountain Magic Leader Weekend event is always held the weekend after the MLK holiday. It actually isn't the 3rd or 4th weekend per se. It varies based on when the MLK holiday falls. (MLK is always the 3rd Monday, but depending what day the month starts, it makes our weekend sometimes the 3rd weekend and sometimes the 4th.)
-
Can I switch beds or sleep in the common area if I see an empty bed/couch?
No, every bed is assigned for the weekend. There are no vacant bottom bunks. Additionally, for safety reasons, we must know in which bed every camper is sleeping. We ask that night owls and early birds use the common areas so that they don't disturb other campers, and sleeping in the common area is not permitted. If you need to change beds, please see Marie Wright in the dining hall.
-
My cabin mate is noisy/snores - can you help?
We have a limited number of ear plugs available for light sleepers. See Lianne in the dining hall.
-
My cabin mate shines her flashlight all night and wakes me up - can you help?
We have a limited number of eye shades available for light sleepers. See Lianne in the dining hall.
-
My room is too hot/cold - can you help?
The cabin thermostats have been preset and we ask that you not change the thermostat. You may want to bring an extra sheet and blanket so you can sleep cooler or warmer if needed.
-
Can I eat in the sleeping area?
No, all food must be kept in the kitchen areas or dining hall and must be consumed in the same areas. (Of course, don't eat food that isn't yours unless it's on the snack table!) Food is not permitted in the sleeping areas.
-
What is "Camper Etiquette"?
Good camper etiquette basically means that you be a sister to every scout and treat fellow campers with respect. After lights out, please whisper, use flashlights sparingly, and don't disturb others in your cabin if you stay up later than others or get up earlier than others. We ask that late owls and early birds stay quietly in the common areas or meet in the dining hall for louder fun with other insomniacs. :-) In other words, treat others as you would like to be treated.
-
I forgot my cell phone charger -how can I keep the battery up while I'm at camp? (I sure would like to use my phone's alarm clock and apps!)
Put smart phones on "Airplane Mode" while at camp. It won't keep trying to search for a signal and won't run down so fast. (Rumor has it that a new cell phone tower is going up which might soon get cell signal into camp.)
-
I missed the order deadline for t-shirts. Can I still get one? What will it cost to ship my order to me if I order now?
We will have a second run of printing done immediately after camp. We are accepting orders through the end of the event, with a small amount added for mailing to your home. (Shipping charges will be kept as low as possible.) You can expect to receive your items about two weeks after camp.
