It is difficult to prioritize all of this stuff, so I have resorted to "alphabetical" as the method of listing all of this stuff.
If you would like to bring your Bike to Summer Camp, bring it on the Sunday that we leave for Camp and we will transport it for you to Seven Ranges. Please be aware of the bike safety requirements (such as a helmet and gloves) that are listed in the pdf below.

Dietary Restrictions and Religious Requirements Form
Printed from page 20 of "2021_Program_Guide_Updated.pdf" (Seven Ranges Scout Reservation Summer Camp Guide)
Allergies & Other Dietary Restrictions: Seven Ranges Scout Reservation will make every reasonable accommodation to campers with dietary restrictions and/or allergies. To better serve you, we require that you provide documentation from a physician in addition to your annual physical, to include the following: Allergen - Type of allergy - Severity - Reaction Needed - Emergency Response. When the camper completes the medical check, they will be asked to complete the dietary restrictions form and provide documentation from the doctor. At this time, the medical staff will verify that we have all the information needed. Campers who are unable to eat in the dining hall due to severe allergy issues may be given alternative dining accommodations.
Summer Camp Checklist
...and, on this very same page, I have located a series of "Packing for Camp" videos (scroll-down) that were created by our very own Timmy Short. I think those videos might be helpful to you when considering on what to pack for Summer Camp.
What is the significance of the "Good Turn Weekend" ?
Basically, Our Troop is doing something "Good" for Seven Ranges Scout Reservation to "earn" our place in the Pipestone Honors Program at Summer Camp. This might mean cutting and stacking wood ; or, this might mean trail maintenance ; or, this might mean painting utility buildings around camp, etc., etc. ... List of Year 2022 Projects. <=click here and then choose the "Activities"-<tab>.
Our Troop's GTW this year (2023) at Seven Ranges runs from Fri. May 12 thru Sun. May 14.
What if a Scout is unable to attend the GTW Camp weekend that the Troop attends ?
That Scout will have to make-up the "service hours" earned at GTW Camp at Summer Camp. -and that can be problematic because a Scout's Schedule at Summer Camp can be very full.
Can a Scout earn these Pipestone Honors Program "service hours" somewhere else besides Seven Ranges ? No. -because these "service hours" are our way of saying "Thanks!" to Seven Ranges for the Pipestone Honors Program put on at Summer Camp!
Nothing about "Masks" being mandated ; or, being worn during this Year's 2023 Summer Camp at Seven Ranges.
Medical Form -> medical-form-for-Summer-Camp ...and, don't forget that we need copies of your Family's Health Insurance Card (front-and-back).
Medication: Any scout who needs to take medication while at camp should have it labeled and in its own container with dosages and when it is to be taken. All medication and related instructions must be given in writing to Mr. Nudo on Sunday, July 17th. Unless under doctor’s orders, scouts will not be allowed to possess medications. They will be administered by adult leadership during camp per instructions given. The scouts, however, are responsible for coming to their assigned adult to receive medications as prescribed.
