We need to stress to everyone NOT TO BOTHER other people’s camp site or go into other people’s tents.

Bannock will be made daily, if enough people volunteer to make it. We also encourage the ones that know how
to make fried bannock show the ones that do not know how.

KEEP A CLOSE WATCH of your children, ESPECIALLY Around Fire Pits & Swimming Areas (Parents
Please Keep a really close eye on your little ones).
It is crucial that parents/guardians accompany their children/teenagers to the camp. PLEASE do not send them to Sand
Bay to camp out ALONE. If they are not there with responsible family members, they will be sent home along with their
belongings. It is the responsibility of the family member to register them.

and family recreational activities”.
It is our hope & intent that being together will help us cooperate and keep focus as a Family and
Community.
