LAST ONE, BEST ONE! — DAY FIVE!
And just like that… Dino Camp 2026 is officially in the books! 🦖
The weather gods were definitely on our side this week! The liquid sunshine stayed away, and we managed to pack five ROAR-SOME days full of adventure, learning, friendship, and memories!
FISHING DERBY CHAMPION! After a week of casting, waiting, and hoping for the big one, Henry P. officially won our 1st Soon-to-Be-Annual Fishing Derby!
Today, Cubs even got to share some fishing time with their families. A HUGE thank-you to Mr. Kurt for bringing real fishing rods for the Cubs to try out. Who knows… we may have some future anglers in the making!
CRAFTS- Our little paleontologists got creative one last time, drawing their very own Dino Fossils with oil pastels and water colors.
RANGE TIME
One final round of BB Guns with Mr. Don! The Cubs have spent the week learning, practicing, and improving—and today they all completed their RATA adventures!
SPORTS- There was still plenty of Dino energy left! Cubs enjoyed Dino Bounce, Newcomb, and Cat & Mouse. Apparently, five days of camp wasn’t enough to wear them out!
THE 4TH ANNUAL BOX CAR DERBY! THE CUBS CAME TO WIN… The Red Shirts… not so much! After all the building, designing, decorating, and anticipation, it was finally time to race!
And in a HUGE camp surprise…THE TIGERS OWNED THE COURSE!
That’s right—the Tigers came roaring across the finish line and are taking home the Box Car Derby bragging rights! Congratulations, Tigers!
FAMILY BBQ & OSR CAMPFIRE- We closed out our week with our Family BBQ and our OSR Campfire, and the skits, jokes, and songs were absolutely DINOMITE! Our families also had the opportunity to participate in a special Flag Retirement Ceremony. A heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Danielle and all of our Red Shirts for helping make this meaningful part of our closing campfire possible.
SPECIAL VISITORS!
A HUGE shout-out to Mr. Chip for bringing T-Rex by for a special visit! And a BIG thank-you to Ms. Janet, who helped everyone cool down with some much-needed ice pops!
THANK YOU!
There are simply SO MANY people to thank for making this week possible. Day Camp doesn’t happen without our amazing volunteers, our incredible Red Shirts, our dedicated leaders, our families, and most importantly, the Cubs who showed up every day ready to learn, explore, try new things, and HAVE FUN!
To all of our families:
Thank you for trusting us with your Cub. We hope they leave camp with dirty shoes, new friends, new skills, and memories that will last long after the dinosaurs have gone extinct again.
From all of us at OSR Cub Scout Day Camp—THANK YOU for an unforgettable week!
And don’t worry… We’ll see you next year! “GET HOOKED ON CUB SCOUTS” — UNDER THE SEA!
Until then… Stay wild, Cubs. Keep exploring. Keep learning. Keep Scouting.
