The
Ultimate Tuk program has been designed for the Scout that has been to
camp many
years and is looking for new adventures and challenges. Ultimate Tuk
will
provide older Scouts an action-packed wilderness program that will
challenge
them physically and mentally. A Class III Physical Form is required for
participation in this event. The cost is $350.00. The
entire fee
is due by April 18, 2008
or you may be dropped from
the roster. No refunds after April 18.
See the bottom of the page for the adult fee information.
Participants
will meet with staff members Sunday to make sure they have their
needed
equipment. Monday morning they will leave Camp
Tukabatchee and will return
Friday
just after supper.
Some of the
activities
planned for 2008 (but not confirmed 100%) include: experiencing
COPE at Camp Tukabatchee, caving at Tumbling
Rock or Limerock, mountain biking, rappelling & climbing, and
rafting on the Ocoee River. Participants will arrive back at Camp
Tukabatchee before the campfire
on Friday. All activities are subject to change. Please ask if you have
specific questions.
Scouts
must be 14 years old and be able to swim. Scouts must be physically
capable to handle the river and strenuous
hiking. No exceptions please. Crews
are
limited to 12 participants, but we can take more than 1 crew. The
minimum crew size is 8 paid participants. Because of this minimum size,
we ask that
Scouts be
flexible on the week they can go. Space permitting, adults are
encouraged to
attend. We recommend 1 adult leader to go with each crew each week.
As
an
incentive to get adults to go, we will discount 1 adult fee by $40 for
every boy a troop signs up. (e.g. 2 boys @ $350, 1 adult
goes for $270; 6 boys @ $350, 1 adult goes for $110)
The
following equipment is needed. This is a rough list as of January 2008.
We will provide a better and more detailed list to those who sign up.
