Each club representative will receive a packet with wristbands, schedules and
other corresponding information.
If you have people that will be arriving after hours, or will be commuting
during the weekend, you will need to provide a list with their names and a
valid contact phone number. Any person that is not listed or pre-registered

attendance in order to be counted as present. Points are given for attendance. Points

Uniform Inspection: There will be a uniform inspection at 9:00 a.m. Sabbath morning along with campsite
inspection. See the enclosed uniform inspection sheet.
Healthy Meals: In recognition of our church doctrine on temperance and healthful living, clubs are
encouraged to consider the guidance in Ministry of Healing Chapter 23 when planning
their menus for camporee. For this reason please do not bring any meat to Camporee.
Sunday Events: Camporee events are designed to encourage all Pathfinders to participate. There will be 9
events. Enclosed are the events and rules so your club can practice and be prepared to
participate. Events score sheets will be given to each club director at the Camporee.
Events count toward the overall camporee ribbon (See attached Sunday events)
Event Score Sheets: In your registration packet you have several event score sheets. You are
responsible for returning them to the Red Trailer by the time and date indicated on
each. We want to ensure that the points are tallied quickly and accurately. Score
sheets will need to be returned as follows:
Oratory: by 10:30am Saturday Morning
Sabbath Afternoon Activities: by 5:30pm Saturday afternoon
Saturday score sheets will NOT BE ACCEPTED on Sunday.
Pins & Patches: Pins and patches will be issued to club directors the last day of the camporee. In

red trailer. If the coordinator has not notified the trailer that the club is clear no
pins or patches will be issued. (No exceptions)
Chain of Command: In the case of an emergency, discipline problem, etc., you are to follow the chain
command, meaning you will contact first your area coordinator; he/she will work
with you in finding a resolution. If he/she cannot assist you, they will contact Eli

out completely with water when not attended (do not let them smolder). Remember to
keep full water buckets at a safe distance from the fire in case you need to extinguish the
fire quickly. Firewood collection in the park is limited to fallen limbs, no cutting of
standing trees. To prevent the spread of forest pests please plan to purchase your

individual(s) renting the golf cart:
I promise to return the rented golf cart(s) to the location where I picked it up from, in as good a condition as I received it
(no tape, trash, or other leftovers). I will operate the golf cart safely and responsibly, and I will preserve and protect the
golf cart from loss or damage to the cart itself, my person or property, and the persons or property of others. I agree to be
legally and financially liable for all costs of repairs to the golf cart, and for the loss, damage and/or injuries to my person
or property and the persons or property of others regardless of fault.
I agree to hold harmless, defend and indemnify Southern New England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and New
England Golf Cars for any and all damages and claims of any nature whatsoever that may arise from the use of said golf
cart during the time of the rental period, including but not limited to claims for damages to the golf cart itself, my person
and property and the persons and property of others.
I agree to become familiar with the operation and use of the rental golf cart, and any other instructions provided to me
regarding the cart, and to operate the golf cart in accordance with said instructions. I agree to examine and inspect the
safety and mechanical condition of the golf cart, reporting any concerns or problems before driving the vehicle.
I understand that a golf cart is subject to the same laws and regulations pertaining to motor vehicles and therefore agree
that the golf cart will be operated in accordance with the laws of the State, including but not limited to the requirement that
persons driving the golf cart must not be under the influence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs.
I agree that only persons who are 21 years or older, and possess a valid driver’s license shall be permitted to drive the golf
cart. I further agree that the maximum occupancy of the golf cart is the number of available seats.

Cancellations after May 10, 2013 will NOT be refunded.
By my signature I acknowledge that I have read the preceding terms and conditions. I understand and
agree that failure to comply with the terms and conditions listed above, either by myself or any other
party I allow to use the rented golf cart, means I forfeit the use of my rented golf cart for the
remainder of the camporee. NO REFUNDS will be given and SNEC may, at its sole discretion, re-
assign the use of the forfeited golf cart.

This letter is to let you know that the Southern New England Conference Youth Ministries office is
holding it annual Spring Camporee in Charlestown, RI on May 17-19, 2013.
The Pathfinder Clubs in the Southern New England Conference area are encouraged to attend this
special event. Pathfinder Clubs are operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and are similar to
other Scouting organizations in the United States. Many professionals and young adults are involved
as volunteers and staff for this organization.
The purpose of Pathfindering is to lead its members (typically grades 5-10 or age 10-16 years) into a
growing relationship with God, build its members into responsible, mature individuals and to involve
its members in active, selfless service. Those in the TLT (Teen Leadership Training) or Ambassador
level programs are typically grades 8-10 or age 14-18 years of age, and are an integral part of the
Pathfinder Program. Pathfinder leadership makes an effort to create opportunities whereby members
will learn about God, nature and how to serve others through various community projects and events.
The Pathfinder Camporee is an event whereby all clubs within the Southern New England Conference
area participate in camping, learn new outdoor and team-building skills, interact with other Christian
Pathfinders, and develop a relationship with Jesus. We are requesting that your employee, who is an
active member or volunteer of the Pathfinder organization be excused from work to attend this special
event as a chaperone and/or counselor.
If you desire further information regarding Pathfindering, please feel free to contact our office at the
telephone number or address shown above. Thank you for your support and consideration.

SABBATH ACTIVITIES FOR CLUB TIME
Overview:
On Sabbath there will be several times in the schedule that allow for Club Time, after
breakfast, after lunch, and before and after supper. During this time, each club will be
responsible for planning appropriate, supervised Sabbath activities. Our personal choices
regarding appropriate Sabbath activities will vary widely, please remember that we are
camped as a group and our actions will be seen by others who may be offended by something
we do. One specific area has been a concern in the past. Please do NOT allow your
Pathfinders to play with any type of ball during the Sabbath hours. Also, Please review Paul’s
advice in Romans 14 about creating stumbling blocks for others. We already know that
recreational sports (e.g. soccer, football, baseball, basketball, etc.) are stumbling blocks for
many and so should not be part of your activities during the Sabbath hours. Directors we
need your help with supervising these Club Times. Please be proactive and have a plan to
keep your Pathfinders focused and on a positive path.
Please find below a list of activities that could fill this time:
Activities:
Tree-Visiting2
Things you need: Blindfolds or scarves (neckerchiefs work well)
What you do:
1. Blindfold a person and take them on a wiggly walk ending at a tree.
2. Guide their hands and body to explore the tree. Feel the bark, leaf, roots, width, low
branches, and anything else they can reach from the ground.

2
Karen Holford, 100 Creative Activities for Sabbath (Pacific Press Publishing Association, 2006) pg 28.
3. Take them on a very wiggly walk away from the tree
4. Remove the blindfold and see if they got to know their tree well enough to find it.
Things to talk about:
God’s amazing creation of trees and why they are made the way they are
God created our senses and how much we depend on our vision, but also how useful
our sense of touch can be
Make a list of trees mentioned in the Bible. What trees are mentioned? Which Bible
stories have special trees in them?
Other Ideas
1. Study the Sabbath School lesson
2. Go on a nature walk
3. Rest time at your camp site
4. Visit other clubs
5. Bible board games e.g. Bible Scattergories, Bible Blurt, Bible Pictionary, Miracles and Pitfalls,
Egypt to Canaan, etc.
6. Bible sword drill.
7. Puzzles

Each player is assigned a number (1-10 on each team) and when the person in the middle holding the
flag calls out that number the person from each team tries to get the flag. The person holding the flag
will be over a line. When each player goes to take the flag they cannot pass the line until the opposing
player has taken the flag. When you have the flag you must run back to your team without getting
tagged by your opponent. The game will continue until there are no more players without having

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Count something so that you know more about it after you have counted it than you did before
you counted it.
2. Find objects that are: hard, big, high, dead, wise land use threatening soft, small, low, calming, sad,
funny, ugly, important on poor land use, unhappy, happy, beautiful, unimportant off living wasteful
useful.
3. Look for an object that has a geometric shape in its structure. Think about why it has that shape.
4. Find and bring back a sound (something that will make this sound) that makes you feel; angry, sad,
beautiful, afraid, happy, and tough.
5. Find an unpleasant odor. Can you describe the smell? Find an odor that you like? Describe it. Can
you think about why some things smell good and others don't?
6. Find the oldest thing and try to guess its age. What are ways of determining the age of something?
7. Find an object that has the texture of: smooth, rough, slippery, shiny
8. Find a change that is predictable.
9. Look for a natural object that has five parts.
10. Find an object that has at least four colors showing.
11. Take a familiar object from the unnatural environment. Find and demonstrate a new use for it in
the natural environment.
2. Swamp
Divide the group into clubs. Give each team a large piece of paper and a pen. Each letter in the word
SWAMP stands for another word that describes something in nature:
S - STARS
W - WEATHER
A - ANIMALS
M - MINERALS
P – PLANTS
On "GO", each team writes down as many words as it can think of that relate to the word STARS. The
only stipulation is this: they must be able to SEE what they write down from where they are sitting
(e.g. sky is where stars are seen; clouds cover up stars on a dull night).
Each team has five minutes to write down as many words as possible (at least 5 words per letter).
Then continue with the words WEATHER, ANIMALS and so on until all letters of the word SWAMP
have been given equal time.
At the end of the writing session, the leader tallies the number of words to see which team has the
sharpest eyes, and the most vivid imagination (some teams may have to explain their rationale
behind writing down certain words -the leader may not understand how they relate to the 'master'
word!)
3. Sabbath Symphony
The purpose of this game is to discover the beautiful sounds that can be created by the natural objects
in our environment.
Each club is given 10- 15 minutes to find objects in nature that make a noise when banged together, or
blown on, or rubbed together.
Each musician is allowed to 'tune' his instrument, so the rest of the group can hear the different
sounds. If a player can play more than one instrument at the same time.
6. Back Draw
Break your young people down into clubs. Have the kids sit on the floor (or in chairs) facing back to
front in their teams (similar like that of a train). With the group in single file lines, give the persons on
the back of the line an object to draw. That person then is to draw the object you gave them on the
back of the person in front of them with their finger. Then the next person does it likewise and so on
and so on until the person in front of the line draws on paper what you gave the person on the back
of the line. The first team done and draws the best picture wins!
The Leader will have different Bible characters on a slip of paper and they will be placed in a bag.
Then, each club will come up with different situations for the "actors" to act out (each club will pick
their actors). To begin the game, draw out a situation and according to the number of actors needed,
draw out that number of names. For example, Jonah being swallowed by the whale and then spit out,
you need a minimum of two actors. This activity will get even the shyest person in your club to join
in and it brings loads of laughter.
8. Digital Charades
- Clubs to bring their own cameras.
10. Sing-n-Share
- Pastor and the Praise Team

next pathfinder toward the next target disc; the second pathfinder will stop at the target disc and take the next
coordinate from the list on the disc base in the order of letters from the card that the team captain pulled out of the
bag. This continues from pathfinder 2 to pathfinder 3 etc. until the team finishes the course and reports their ending
position to the events leader and the timer stops.
