An Astronaut Weekend Unofficial Guide to Cub-Parent Weekend

            This guide is intended to give a New Astronaught and his crew a little inside information on how to make the most out of their  weekend experience.  It is only a guide.  Feel free to arrange your schedule anyway you would like. 

BB Shooting: This is one of the more popular activities and the wait can get pretty long.  If you arrive and there is a big crowd, try moving on to another activity and coming back later.  Many people go straight to BB Shooting and so there is a long wait.  However, the wait later in the day is not nearly as long.

Archery: This is the same as BB Shooting reread above and when it says the word BB Shooting substitute the word Archery.

Climbing Wall: The climbing wall is open for both the newbie astronaut and seasoned space men.  Practice your climbing  to prepare for the hills on strange planets.  Note: there may be a long wait because climbing takes some time and you must get into a harness before attempting your ascent.

Boating: An Astronaut should know a little about boating.  Never know when you may have a water landing.  At the north end of the lake you will find rowboats and paddle boats.  Boating takes a while but generally is not a long wait.  (No fishing from the boats).  For safety's sake EVERYONE MUST WEAR A Personal Flotation Device.

Fishing:  If you brought your own tackle feel free to try your hand in the lake.  It's catch and release and no fishing in the swimming area.

Swimming: Swimming in Lake Arrowhead is a little different than other places.  We have some interesting obstacles in the lake.  There is a trampoline in the middle of the lake as well as an iceberg you can climb on.  There is also an alligator and a giant Hotdog.  Even though there is an iceberg in the lake the water is not that cold.

Crafts: The craft tent has a few things to offer.  Stop in and see what there is to offer.

Cookwagon Cook-off: Iron Chef has Great ingredients, Great equipment and Great Chefs,.  We have our own contest no Great equipment, no Great ingredients, no Great Chefs but we have a contest and we need assistant chefs.  Show up and you might be one of our assistants..  After dinner we'll all see if these cooks are any good as they are cooking desert!

Campfire: Here with your Pack or Den or just by yourself let us know if you have a skit to perform at the campfire.  Don't have a skit but still want a part in the show. Sign up anyhow.    If you don't have one tell us how many in your group or if you're alone and we'll teach you a skit you can do.                              We will be auditioning all skits to be sure they are appropriate.

Food:  Don't miss your meals. Dinner on Saturday night (Chicken Barbecue) and Breakfast on Sunday.

Pirate Necessities: Remember to stop at the trading post to pick up your mug for coffee. (one Free for each Adult guest)  Also you might want to pick up a souvenir of your weekend.

Coffee:  You can usually find a cup of coffee at the dinning hall before breakfast.  Bring your own mug there will be no cups.
