We will be collecting registration money TOMORROW for the LAKE PLACID TRIP. Details: February 20th. $20 per girl/adult. Will meet in front of Malta Ave School and leave promptly at 7:15 AM. We anticipate returning to B. Spa by 6:00 PM. While parents are more than welcome, girls may attend without an adult as we have the seating available with adults who are attending & driving.
We had an AMAZING time last year! If there is snow, we’ll have the opportunity to snow tube at the Ski Jump Complex or watch a freestyle ski training event if one is scheduled for the day. Next, it’s off to the Olympic Training Center for a behind-the-scenes tour of where current Olympic hopefuls train. Please bring a bagged lunch to eat at noon, while we watch some hockey or ice skating at the Olympic Center. In the afternoon at 1 p.m., we may either ice skate on the Olympic Oval where magic took place during the 1980 Olympics or visit Mt. Van Hoevenberg to see the luge and bobsled run. If ice skating is the option available, please bring your ice skates if possible for the best fit. There are skates available for renting if you do not have skates. (Troop will pick up the cost.) You will also need to bring a helmet (bicycling, skiing, or other similar protection), as recommended for the ice skating oval. You can end your day by visiting the Olympic Museum and Facilities to learn about both Olympics and trainings held in this great city.
This is a great idea for a gift under the tree! SOMETHING TO DO, not something to have to put away! ;) Print out a little 'gift certificate' and voila!, the gift of fun and memories to last a life time! :)
Sign up sheet will be on the table. Please give money to Kendra! There are only 37 spots still open so we will be doing the signing up tomorrow evening after the meeting. We will happily still take money after that as spacing allows. Thanks!
