Camp 2023

Good news, we will have camp this year and come back for more detail later.

Thank you, 
DBCMD Board

----------------------------------------------------------------

Camp 2022

After going over the survey we sent out and a lot of discussion among the board and with campers and SSPs. We have decided as much as we all want to have camp and get back to normal we have a unique group which requires extra thought and precautions. We just don’t want to take the risk. Numbers are dropping but we have no way of knowing what things will be like in June. We want to give it one more year. If things continue to move in a positive direction we will be planning some smaller group activities in the area. Please keep an eye out for upcoming events.

Thank you, 
DBCMD Board

----------------------------------------------------------------
