Graduation Location

Good afternoon everyone.

Although we have been rained on all morning, the weather forcast looks
favorable for an outside graduation.

We have decided to hold graduation outside.
This means that all family and friends are welcome... we will have
plenty of room.

Please remember to bring your own seating for the parade field. Keep
in mind that the ground will probably be wet.

The camp store will be open for a short time near graduation for shirt
sales.
If you have your Photo CD order, remember to bring it with you.

We look forward to seeing you at graduation.

Mr. Valentine

Cadets....all business.!

Graduation Practice (In the rain)

Good Morning.

Good morning everyone.
Today already is and will continue to be a very busy day at Camp
Cadet. We have a full schedule of activities ahead of us... on top of
tonight's graduation.
Although we will be extremely busy we will still post a few pictures
throughout the day.
Unfortunately the weather forcast is calling for rain. Determination
of an outside or inside graduation will happen later today. Once we
know, we will post the information here.
(Please keep in mind that if the graduation is held indoors there will
be a limit of 2 guests per cadet.)

We will inform you of our status ASAP.

Please check back often for any updates.
