Welcome to Ingawanis Adventure Base!

This summer is going to be one for the books and we are thrilled to share all the new and exciting additions to our Summer Camp program! Whether this is your first summer or you have been coming to camp for years, you will not want to miss this unforgettable experience. We hope to see these new activities become staples at Ingawanis Adventure Base.

You have asked and we have answered. This summer we have looked at all aspects of our program including daily programs, staff, camp culture, food and the spirit of camp. We have heard your requests and have taken action to ensure we not only meet but exceed your expectations!

In this Program Guide, we will be covering all the ins and outs of what to expect during your week(s) at camp. From new activities to the daily schedule, we will cover

everything you need to know about our program. On the next page, you will find a

“Table of Contents” that will show you where to start your journey in this guide. If you or your camper is attending a Cub Scout Resident Week you will only need to review the section regarding Cub Scout Resident Week and the section specific to your week at camp. Keep in mind that this Program Guide covers Lions, Cub Scout, Webelos and Scouts BSA Weeks.

Now flip to the next page and get reading! We can’t wait to see you this summer.

New Activities Coming This Summer!

All Camp Dance & Pool Party

We are bringing back our Pool Party and kicking it up a notch!!

Not only will we be having our Saturday Pool Party, but we are making it bigger and better by introducing the Saturday Night Dance! This event consists of a pool party, pool belly flop contest, open trading post, and a dance! Campers are welcome to take a dip in the pool or dance the evening away while enjoying their favorite pop!

The Official IAB Cubmaster Belly Flop Contest

All adult leaders are welcome to compete and sacrifice their bellies for the amusement of their Scouts. The winner will receive an autographed prize from the aquatics staff, bragging rights, and the pride of making the biggest splash,

loudest smack, and most stylish belly flop on this side of the Cedar River.

Participants are encouraged – but not required – to prepare something “stylish” to spice up their belly flop! (Costume ideas:

Buzz Lightyear, Jedi Knights, and Roman Emperors, or something to fit the week’s theme, just to name a few) Dance Party

Along with our Pool Party, for those who may not want to get their feet wet… Music, trading post, dancing and socializing will be happening on the Parade Field or in the Dining Hall (COVID/weather permitting). The Trading Post will also be open during the dance to get those last-minute snacks and merchandise!

Chapel

Morning Chapel will be provided at Chapel by the Ingawanis Adventure Base Chapel Team on Friday and Saturday morning (7:30-7:45) before flags. This is a great way to start your day with some inspiration and motivation to do your best! This is not a required event, but IAB and the Winnebago Council invite all individuals of faith to participate in this calibration of reverence.

Stage Night

Put on a show, no talent required! Stage Night is our version of an all camp talent show.

Campers are welcomed and encouraged to sign up and perform their favorite talent.

This could be singing their favorite song, telling jokes, dancing, solving a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute or anything in between. All performances should be Camp

Appropriate and follow the BSA rules and guidelines. Campers that are not preforming an act in the show will get the opportunity to support their fellow scouts by cheering them on and getting a once in a lifetime show! Signups will open in the Dining Hall on Thursday at dinner and will close Friday after lunch.

New Additions Coming This Summer!

We have heard your suggestions and are making some additions to offer a more organized, exciting and fresh experience for our campers!

STEM Lab

Introducing the Ingawanis Adventure Base STEM Lab! The STEM Lab opens the possibility of new Merit Badges including but not limited to Robotics, Movie Making, Photography, and Digital Technology.

Trading Post

This summer we are opening our new Trading Post and have a ton of fun new

merchandise to go along with it. Stop in to grab a slushie or pop while browsing through our newest additions.

Ingawanis Camp Staff

Our Ingawanis Adventure Base Camp Staff are so excited to meet you and your campers! This year each unit will be assigned a Camp Staff that will help be a sort of

“liaison” throughout the week. You will receive a Camp Staff trading card for each Scout to keep, with three fun facts about your Camp Staff at Check-In. Your Camp Staff can sit with your unit at meals, evening programs and campfires. They will be there to answer questions, offer service throughout the week and be the unit’s hype leader to ensure your Scouts get an unforgettable experience during their week at Ingawanis Adventure Base.

Entrance Sign

A huge thank you goes out to our wonderful volunteers as well as Camp Caretaker, Colin Devine Meyer, for their work on finishing the new Ingawanis Adventure Base signs. Their ingenuity and the great looking signs from Print Innovations, LLC made a huge impact on beautifying the entrance of our camp! We look forward to having these signs welcome many campers in the present and future!

Stations will be 2-hour long sessions; participation in the activity is “Doing your best” so all scouts will walk away with the requirements completed for the Adventures listed. Cubmasters will receive a list of requirements complete at the August roundtable.

---

Ecology

(15)

Open Program Time

Open Program time will allow all Cub Scouts to explore everything Ingawanis Adventure Base has to offer. This means all program areas will be open for Scouts to explore and visit.

Staff Sponsor NEW*

Our Ingawanis staff do a lot to help make camp possible, and we want to help make sure they look sharp and feel prepared to provide a strong program to every scout that comes to camp this summer. Looking professional is just the beginning! If you are interested in sponsoring the Ingawanis Camp Staff T-Shirts for the summer, please contact Whitney Jensen or Melanie Mellinger at the Scout Office for more information.

Closing Campfire

The closing campfire relies on the performances of the Scouts and Cubmasters in each Pack. Packs should plan on coming to camp prepared with one song or skit for the closing campfire. Add to the Scouting spirit in camp, plan and practice at your Pack meetings before camp or ask your Camp Staff for help during the week. Once the unit performances have concluded, the Ingawanis Camp Staff will finish off the evening with a special ceremony on friendship.

Provisional Campers

A Provisional Scout is a Scout who wants to attend camp a different week from when their Pack comes, or Scouts who want to attend Ingawanis when their Pack may have chosen to attend a different summer camp. This is also a great opportunity for campers who may want to spend more than one week at camp! On arrival at camp, Provisional Campers will be joined with other Provisional Campers and given an

Ingawanis Adventure Base Camp Staff that will be supervising and staying with the group of

campers throughout the week. As for daily schedules and operations, Provisional Campers will get the exact same experience as Scouts attending with a Pack. The only difference is that Provisional Campers will be meeting a new group of friends and the Camp Staff will take the place of the Cubmaster.

New Activities Coming This Summer!

Trail to First Class (TTFC)

We have taken a hard look at our T-1 program and revamped how it is structured. The T-1 program is now called the Trail to First Class or TTFC. This program is a great opportunity for newer Scouts to work on the key basics in their Road to 1^st Class. This year’s program will encompass both morning Merit Badge sessions and helping Scouts learn a set list of new skills. Scouts can schedule a Merit Badge of their choice for the afternoon block. Scoutmasters will receive a TTFC blue card with requirements Friday before dinner. Staff will NOT sign off Scouts’ books and Scoutmasters are encouraged to verify with the Scouts what material they retained.

Night Hikes

Monday night our Camp Staff will be providing each Troop an exciting new program called Night Hikes! Campers will get the opportunity to talk with some local owls, learn about night vision, super hearing and smell, Triboluminescence and finally understand the science behind the Headless Horseman! To ensure we can reach out maximum night vision all lights, including light up watches, flashlights and phones, should be left at the campsite or put away.

After the opening campfire on Sunday, campers are invited to join in on an evening Chapel to get the week started right. Additionally, morning Chapel will be provided at Chapel by the Ingawanis Adventure Base Chapel Team on Tuesday and Thursday morning (7:30-7:45) before flags. This is a great way to start your day with some inspiration and motivation to do a good turn daily.

During and just after Evening Merit Badges on Tuesday and Thursday we will be offering Tie Dye! Bring your own clothing to tie dye or buy something from the Trading Post. We will have white Ingawanis Adventure Base shirts available for purchase. We look forward to seeing all the creative designs that come out of this new activity!

You asked for it and we are thrilled to share that this summer we will be unveiling our new shotgun range! We will have two high/low houses with a trap shoot in the middle.

Program Offerings & Prerequisites List

Scouts should come to camp with a familiarity of the subjects they will be learning about for the week. Merit Badge pamphlets are available for purchase at the Trading Post but acquiring a book prior to camp is recommended. It is a good idea to bring a notebook and pencil for each Merit Badge session. Scouts with more summer camp experience should not expect to complete more than four (4) Merit Badges. It is not the objective of camp to complete as many Merit Badges as possible, but rather to enjoy the camp program and learn the skills naturally. This way of learning allows campers to gain mastery of the skills learned. Scouts should not be disappointed with partially completed badges from camp. A makeup Merit Badge day will be held July 25^th for free for Scouts to complete any Merit Badges they started at Ingawanis. More details to come.

Some Merit Badges will have prerequisites. A prerequisite is something the Scout must do before taking a Merit Badge, (i.e. you must have First Aid before taking Emergency Preparedness) things that cannot be done at camp. For these Merit Badges a Scout will receive a partial card and will have to complete it upon returning home. Notes can be sent from a Merit Badge Counselor or Leader verifying the pre-requirements. If a Merit Badge has an associated fee it will be collected during online registration.

TTFC Scouts MUST register for a C block badge during online registration.

We recommend they focus on Non-Eagle Required badges their first year at IAB!
