Welcome to Camp Alexander we would like to thank you for
choosing us for mountain top summer camp experience.
Camp has been operating in Colorado for 77 years and has provided a great summer camp
program to over 100,000 scouts. Whether it is a weeklong Boy Scout Camp or a Weekend Cub
Camp, the talented staff of Camp A are here to provide you with a “Mountain Top Experience”
It is time to start the “Amazing Camp A Race” are you and your den ready? We have a lot
planned for you over the next two days. From traveling to different countries to racing through
obstacles. There will be many challenges that the Den and individuals must complete.
Very Important… There is a list of scheduled activities in this Handbook. Please do not share
the Countries and Areas with the scouts. There will be challenges along the way that the den
will try and decipher to get to the next Country.

It is our goal to vary the rotation selection for who is first for each meal. Peanut butter and Jelly will be available at every meal for those that need more. SECONDS—At most meals, seconds will be called after a short delay from the time the last person was served. Please be respectful and responsible when lining up for seconds. We never expect anyone to go hungry at camp! COFFEE: Coffee is located in the dining hall. Leaders should bring their own reusable hot beverage mugs to help reduce waste!

As your Den travels from Countries there will be Roadblocks and Detours in-between. These obstacles will have challenges for your den to complete. They can be simple or complex, they can be eating something or a mental challenge. The entire den can participate or just a single scout.
SPORTS EQUIPMENT
Sports Equipment can be checked out from the Quartermaster during the
week.
For example, baseball and gloves, Frisbee’s, volleyball,
kickball, soccer balls, and footballs. Ask for other equipment
as we may have it.
MAINTENANCE ISSUES Please let us know so we can fix it. Complete a maintenance request form at the Business
office and we will distribute the project to our team each morning at 9:00am.
BEARS AND TRASH
Bears are known to visit Camp Alexander in search of food and they have an exceptional sense
of smell. Food and candy should not be stored in any campsite and no food should be taken
from the dining hall. All trash collected in the campsite must tied in a bag and brought to the
dumpster, located behind the Elk’s Lodge, prior to 8 p.m. each night. Chipmunks and squirrels
are also a part of Camp Alexander and have been known to chew through backpacks to get to
candy and food. Please keep all food out of the tents. Please lock all food items in cars or other
critter‐proof containers.

Camp Alexander
Creed for living
“TO LIVE AS GENTLY AS I CAN
TO BE, NO MATTER WHERE, A MAN
TO TAKE WHAT COMES OF GOOD OR ILL
TO CLING TO FAITH AND HONOR STILL
TO DO MY BEST AND LET THAT STAND
THE RECORD OF MY BRAIN AND HAND
AND THEN, SHOULD FAILURE COME TO ME
STILL WORK AND HOPE FOR VICTORY
TO HAVE NO SECRET PLACE WITHIN
TO STOP UNSEEN TO SHAME OR SIN
TO BE THE SAME WHEN I’M ALONE
AS WHEN MY EVERY DEED IS KNOWN
TO LIVE UNDAUNTED, UNAFRAID
OF ANY STEP THAT I HAVE MADE
TO BE, WITHOUT PRETENCE OR SHAM
EXACTLY WHAT MEN THINK I AM.”
