Sunday Evening Retreat
A campwide retreat is held Sunday evening on the parade field next to the trading post. We request that all troops attend
the campwide retreat in “Class A” uniforms on Sunday evening at 5:30 pm.
Sunday Evening Barbeque
Sunday dinner is the campwide barbecue cooked and served by the camp staff. We will have hamburgers, hot dogs, salad,
chips, a beverage, watermelon and more. We will provide plates, napkins and utensils. This a great way to meet the staff
and other campers. It is held immediately after retreat.
A Scout is Reverent
An all faith vespers service is held in camp immediately following the Sunday evening barbecue at approximately 6:45 pm.
Jewish services are not available in camp, but are available in Tupper Lake on Friday evenings. Catholic mass is available
in Long Lake and Tupper Lake on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Notice will be posted if this changes.
Campwide Games
On Monday and Wednesday evening, we have campwide games. Games begin at 8:00 pm. Meet at the tent near the
volleyball court. The Monday event is a timed scavenger hunt which lets you interact with staff and other campers. On
Wednesday, you will compete against other troops in a wide variety of events at program and other areas throughout the
camp. Past events have included shooting, knot tying, trivia, and climbing.
Scoutmaster/SPL vs. Staff Volleyball
Tuesday evening at 8:00 pm all leaders and senior patrol leaders are invited to take on the Sabattis staff in volleyball.
Sabattis Theater
On Tuesday evening come to the meeting tent after the Scoutmaster/SPL vs. staff volleyball and enjoy a movie. Showtime
is approximately 8:30 pm.
Ice Cream Social
The Ice Cream Social is held on Thursday evening at 8:00 pm in the meeting tent. Everyone in camp is invited to enjoy
some ice cream and have the opportunity to learn more about the Order of the Arrow.
Iron Chef-Sabattis Competition
Show off your Dutch oven cooking skills in Iron Chef-Sabattis. There are two categories: Scouts and
leaders. You must incorporate a “secret ingredient” into your dish. You will be able to pick up two
portions of the secret ingredient, one for practice and one for the event at the commissary during
Tuesday lunch pickup. Bring your submission to the Ice Cream Social at 8:00 pm in the meeting tent
on Thursday where the “celebrity” panel of judges will “blind” taste test the entries and select the champion of Iron Chef-
Sabattis. Plus, your dish and the other entries will be shared with the entire camp for a great evening of fellowship.
Ironman Competition
Every Friday afternoon, each troop should enter their top athletes in the Sabattis Adventure Camp Ironman Competition.
Competitors will swim, bike, run and paddle throughout the camp in their quest to become the camp champion. Sign up
in advance at the camp office. There are a limited number of entries per troop.
Week in Review
Before you line up to go to Council Point for the Friday campfire, join us at 7:30 pm in the meeting tent for a look at the
week in review through pictures. Anyone who would like to submit pictures can see the office clerk in the camp office by
3:00 pm on Friday.
