THE GREAT ESCAPE 2018 A Winter Holiday in the Woods
Welcome It’s time, once again, to register for the Great Escape
Weekend, October 5th-7th! Take this opportunity to enjoy
a fun, relaxing, and educational weekend full of crafts,
trainings, and outdoor activities.
SWAPS and BINGO will begin the weekend on Friday night. There are usually around 150
people attending.
SILENT AUCTION: ALL silent auction items need to be grouped into a “theme” basket or
box before you bring it. REMEMBER NO ALCOHOL (even unopened) ON SCOUT PROPERTY. All
proceeds from this auction will benefit our different GSWNY camp properties. This year, we
will have a silent plant auction on the dining hall porch. In addition, we will be raffling off a
70"x80" quilt. Tickets will be sold separately from the auction (1 for $1, 6 for $5, or 15 for $10.
HOSPITALITY: If desired, you may bring 1 SMALL item to share at the Hospitality table.
Avoid things that need refrigeration. All left over snacks will be sold on Sunday morning and
added to the auction proceeds.
HEALTH HAVEN & OLD HEALTH HAVEN are available only to those with health needs - 1st
come, 1st served.
PARKING: We are a very large group and some may have mobility issues, but our main
concern is safety! Please see the attached letter for our parking plan and accommodations for
those with a valid, government issued handicap permit. Your cooperation in this request is
truly appreciated for the safety of everyone.

Hello, 2018 Campers
We have just a few items that we want to touch base with our campers, before you come
out to camp.
Over the last few years we have noticed an increase of vehicles driving through the camp, I
know we have an aging population and we certainly do not wish to single anyone out, BUT
we have been asked by the Camp Facilities Director to solve this major issue. Not only is it
a hazard for those who are walking from place to place but our camp roads are not meant
for heavy traffic.
The Great Escape Committee will provide a part-time, limited capacity shuttle van
making the trip around camp at regular intervals. This will be available for those who
have a handicap pass, handicap license plate, if you are elderly, recently injured
or disabled and can’t walk around camp. Please mark the registration form if you fall
into this category, then on Friday night, after picking up your registration information,
you need to come and see me, Karen Baker, to get signed up with our drivers. You will be
allowed to go park on the road closest to your unit to unpack only, but you will then have
to park in the lower main parking lot for the whole weekend. You will NOT be allowed
to drive around camp. The shuttle van and a few of the committee’s cars will be the only
vehicles driving on camp property. There will be harsh consequences for disregarding
this rule. This program worked well last year and we thank you for your ongoing support.
You will receive (1) warning and if caught a second time, your registration will
not be accepted for the subsequent year.
If you have difficulty getting around, we highly encourage you to sign up for Health Haven
so you are close to the dining hall. We will be filling Health Haven first with those who have
requested it for mobility and health issues, you must make it clear on the registration form.
Thank you in advance
for your cooperation,
