Dear Parents,
The beavers will be having our semi-annual Beaver Sleepover on Friday, April 13th at 7:00 pm until Saturday, April 14th at 8:00 am. For some Beavers, this will be their first time away from home (without their parents), and will be an important experience to prepare them for the upcoming summer Camp.
Event: Beaver Winter Sleepover
Place: Richmond Hill United Church
10201 Yonge Street,
Richmond Hill, Onario, Canada, L4C 3B2
Please park on the street and walk your children in. Do not use the parking lot.
Drop off Date & Time: Friday, April 13th, 2018 at 7:00 pm
Pick up Date & Time: Saturday, April 14th, 2018 at 8:00 am
Cost: $10 per Beaver (Includes rental for the church, a night-time snack, craft materials, etc)
If there are any circumstances that the Beaver Leaders should be aware of (e.g. washroom schedules), please let the leaders know. Beavers are to show up to the sleepover in full uniform, and should participate in the packing of their bags so that they can find things easily. Please ensure that your child has an extra change of clothing just in case of “accidents”.
Please note that dinner will not be served, so please have your child eat before coming to the Sleepover. A snack will be served later on in the night, and breakfast will be served on the following morning. If your child is ill, please have him/her stay home.
There may be chances that we will be taking the Beavers outside to enjoy the weather, so please make sure your child dresses accordingly. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Scouter Esther.
I hope you will consider allowing your child to join us on this exciting event.
Sincerely,
10th Richmond Hill Scouts Group
P.S. Please inform us of any allergies or medication that your child may have to help us plan better.
P.P.S. Please note that you do not need to go to Silver Stream P.S. on April 13th, 2018 regardless of whether or not your child will be attending the sleepover.
