Here is some additional information to make Sunday's arrival go smoothly.

  • We would ask that parents limit their time at camp to dropping off their scout and to the campsite. 
  • We ask that during their week that scouts and leaders limit trips outside of camp as much as possible.
  • We ask that prior to arriving at camp all scouts and leaders take a Covid self-test (Preferably Sunday morning).   


The link to the 2022 - COVID Mitigation at GNYC Camps guidelines is Here .  Please pay special attention to PAGE 4, as TMR is asking all parents, drivers, scouts and leaders to test before coming up to camp. - All families must complete a BSA Pre-Event Screening form prior to arrival (The form is here).

Please arrange to arrive at the camp by 2:20 pm, which is our scheduled arrival time.

Scouts should wear their bathing suits up to camp as we will not have time to change before the swim test.

As a reminder from the Parent's meeting in June, NO FOOD is permitted at the campsite, and NO CELL PHONES are permitted for scouts unless previously approved by Scoutmaster. If a scout is found with a phone, he will need to surrender it, and he will not be able to attend TMR with our troop next year.
