9/3/2008 – Take note of new information for this camp!

October 22-26, Fort Mountain State Park, Northwest Georgia 

Interested in learning crisis response skills? Want to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of northwestern Georgia? Desiring to spend time with your father or son(s). Then, we look forward to welcoming you to the last United States ALERT Cadet camp of 2008.

 The ALERT Cadet Southeastern Regional Father Son Camp will focus on preparing you to respond to the needs of your family and your community in times of crisis. Upon successful completion of the camp, you will earn the ALERT Cadet Crisis Response Training (CRT) ribbon. Skills you will learn include:

 Land search and recovery,

• Orienteering,
• The national Incident Command System,
• Wilderness first-aid including patient care and packaging,
• Outdoor survival and shelter building, and
• Sawyer (chainsaw) skills.

 We have set aside time for fathers and sons to spend time one-on-one with each other. Many camp participants find these one-on-one times to be the highlight of the camp!

 We plan to hike through some of the most beautiful woods of northern Georgia. On the hike we’ll visit an 855-foot-long wall constructed on the top of the mountain as a Civil War fortification.

 Our morning wisdom searches will focus on “The Production of Fruit” in our lives and in the lives of others. Our evening speakers will share life lessons on “The Preservation of Fruit” as well as “How to Finish Life Well.”

 We will be staying in self-provided tents at the beautiful Fort Mountain State Park. All food is provided, and all activity fees are included in the camp cost of $195 per father and first son. Additional sons are only $50 each.

 ALERT Cadet Captain Gary Reckner is the camp organizer. For more information and camp specifics, you may contact him at 270-835-7331 or by e-mail at recknerfamily@gmail.com.
