PLEASE NOTE, VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE TO THE GLAM TENTS.
 
Tents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 now accommodate 4 people
2 wooden, full sized (bunk) beds in the main room and 2 metal sets in the smaller side room.
The bunks are numbered as follows: Bunks 3 & 4 are in the main room and are wood. Bunks 1 & 2 are in the small room off to the side of the main room.
Each person will occupy one set of bunk beds. You will sleep in the lower bunk and stow your gear in the upper bunk.
 
Tents 7, 8, and 9 have been changed, still accommodating 4 people but will have only 3 bunks.
Bunk 3 is actually 1 wooden queen size bed set in the main room, to be occupied by couples.
To select  bunk 3. 2 guests must be registered and you will automatically be charged for 2 bunks.
 
Kitchen Thirteen 33 has decided to no longer accept pre-orders for their food truck.
This change is part of their effort to simplify operations and provide a more efficient experience for all customers.
Below you will find the menu from last year to use as a sample.
 

Stay tuned to this page and our website for any updates.
If there is anything you need to discuss with us or issues with your registration, please send an email to wsp@scas.org.

From our family to yours, be safe and healthy and we will see you in February.
Thank you again for your patronage.

Sincerely,

Tim Khan, Director

Glam Tents

Only Available at Camp Sawyer

The Boy Scouts take GLAMPING to a new level!!
 

As in previous years, the Glam Tents are available. These Glam Tents are the ultimate in camping shelters. The Glam Tents are air-conditioned and have electric service.
11 tents in total, which 9 will be available for your stay at the Winter Star Party.
Each Glam Tent has 1 maim room with smaller sleeping quarters off to the side. Ideally, the Glam Tents would be for 6 to 8 people or a large family but you may choose to stay with other couples or even singles if you feel comfortable.
The Glam Tent pricing will be $350.00 per person for the entire week of the star party with no additional camping fees added. Of course, you will still need to purchase your ticket to the star party and you will need to bring your own sheets, blankets, and pillows.
Unfortunately, there is no partial pricing for the Glam Tents, so if you arrive later in the week the price is still the same.

As mentioned above, we have 9 tents available for rent. The configuration of the Glam Tents has been changed by the Boy Scouts.
 
Tents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 now accommodate 4 people
2 wooden, full sized (bunk) beds in the main room and 2 metal sets in the smaller side room.
The bunks are numbered as follows: Bunks 3 & 4 are in the main room and are wood. Bunks 1 & 2 are still in the small room off to the side of the main room.
Each person will occupy one set of bunk beds. You will sleep in the lower bunk and stow your gear in the upper bunk.
 
Tents 7, 8, and 9 have been changed, still accommodating 4 people but will have only 3 bunks.
Bunk 3 is actually 1 wooden queen size bed set in the main room, to be occupied by couples.
To select  bunk 3. 2 guests must be registered and you will automatically be charged for 2 bunks.

 

 

 

The Glam Tents will only be available at Camp Sawyer. We are anticipating that they will sell out fast so book early.
