Packing Information:
PACK LIGHT! This year we will share the ferry with three nations or more than 300 braves! That is up from 188 last year. Please ask your braves to bring the least amount possible with them to the island. We are only there for two nights, it will be warm, and the meals are taken care of so they should not have to pack heavily.
Firewood is available from the Ranger station on the island and snacks, beverages, fishing bait and ice can be purchased from the store in Two Harbors.
Pack all your gear in a 30 gallon (maximum) trash can on wheels. The trash cans used by Rainbow Disposal are too large to load onto the Flyer. Wagons are not allowed.
There will be trucks and staff from the camp site which take our gear there. All of the Big Braves form a fire line and both load and unload everything from the boat. Just a warning that all of the gear is stacked in the middle of it and anything that you take should be crush proof since a lot of weight may be put down on it. Some have found that it is easier to pack a cooler with clothing etc. and then fill it with ice and soft drinks when we arrive on the island.
Leave the lances, drums, and other large Indian Guide items at home. Leave all electronic games at home!
Bring your vests and, if you are a Tribe Chief or GCN Council member bring your headdresses. They roll up and can be packed tightly away. I will once again introduce the entire GCN Council and have all of you sit at the front of the Nation Campfire.
Parking and Drop Off Information:
Parking is available for the weekend at $8 a day by the Balboa Pier. If you are going to be dropped off, go down Balboa Blvd and make a left on Main St.
Fishing Derby Rules:
1) Prizes will be fishing poles with the top three finishers in each division winning a pole.
2) All braves are expected to cast, hook and reel in their own fish in order to qualify. However, it is not unreasonable to expect fathers to partially assist the Braves in the Kindergarten division. This isn’t a survival exercise but a fun tournament. That being said, fathers may assist but it is up to each father to use their judgment. Obviously, fathers catching the fish lock stock and barrel for their Kindergartners is not acceptable but a little assistance here and there is fine. All other divisions are expected to catch the fish on their own.
