Checking Into Tesomas

With many Scouts and Leaders arriving and checking in at the same time, we need your help. We want to make this the easiest, fastest, and most efficient check in process you’ve ever experienced. We will have all the staff available in the parking lot and at various check-in points to assist wherever needed.

Check-In Process

  1. Arrive between 1:30 and 2:00 pm with your entire Unit ready to check in. Please, no sooner or later.

  2. A member of the staff will be your campsite host and will assist and lead your Unit throughout the entire check-in procedure. They will provide a packet of information related to your stay.

  3. Move into your campsite with your gear and do only the essential set-up. You should have time to return to your site and finish setting up later. Only one vehicle per Unit will be allowed to go past the parking lot and into your campsite. Unit trailers are allowed and can be parked within the confines of your site.

  4. As soon as possible, change into your swimming suits, grab a towel, put on shoes, and begin your check-in tour of Tesomas. (You can come to camp wearing your swimsuit to save time.) Be sure to have all the medical forms and medications along with you. You should be able to present a copy of everyone’s form for Tesomas to keep in alphabetical order at the medical re-check station. Have the medical forms of Scouts taking medications separate.

  5. Move to the Dining Hall for your seating assignments and dining orientation.

  6. Next, move to the Waterfront area for your swim tests. This is required for anyone to enter the Waterfront area during your stay. Each camper will receive a “buddy tag” which must be used to enter the Waterfront.

  7. Return to your campsite, change clothes for the evening meal (Scout uniform), and finish your campsite set-up.

  8. Visit our Advancement Help Desk at 4:00 pm if you have questions regarding what advancement opportunities your Scouts should take.
    If your Unit needs to arrive early, please contact the Camp Director, Scott Domino at 715-581-6315 or campdirector2@tesomas.com to get approval. Units that arrive early are on their own until check-in starts on Sunday.
     

At least one Leader from every Unit will need to attend the Leader’s meeting right after supper and before the Opening Campfire in the Program Center on Sunday.

Pre-Camp Swim Test Check-In Option
Due to the tremendous success of this program, we will once again offer the option to complete a swim test prior to your arrival. By participating, you will save valuable campsite setup time and will make it easier to do individual Troop activities before you come to camp.

  • Samoset Council troops will have the option to complete their swim tests through your district in the spring. A trained staff will certify that each Scout and Scouter completing the test meets the requirements for their skill level.
     
  • Non-Samoset troops may also complete swim tests prior to camp. A BSA Lifeguard or Red Cross Lifeguard must administer the tests and certify the results. If you choose this option, you must contact the Camp Director, Scott Domino to receive approval, complete instructions, and appropriate forms.
     
  • For questions or Non-Samoset approval, contact Scott Domino at 715-581-6315 or campdirector2@tesomas.com.
