Wehinahpay Mountain Camp

PARENT’S INFORMATION SHEET

Uniform

A complete scout uniform is highly recommended, but not required. Most troops wear the complete uniform for traveling to and from camp. In camp we wear the tan Boy Scout shirt with all applicable items (neckerchief, hat, etc) to every evening meal and to the opening and closing campfires.

NOTE: There are NO clothes washing facilities for camper use.

Jackets and Raingear

During the evening and mornings the temperatures make it necessary to bring a warm jacket (not a light wind breaker). The temperatures at Wehinahpay dip down into the low 30’s at night. The mountains are also subject to rains which can be quite cold, which makes a poncho or rain suit a must.
