In just a few days we will be welcoming you to Convention 2022 at Camp Turk! Pasted below is a packing list on things that you should look at bringing. 

This year registration will take place in front of Smith Cabin starting at 3PM on Thursday. On a case by case basis we can accommodate an earlier arrival.

Our installation of officers is taking place on Sunday afternoon and we expect to wrap up no later than 3PM. 

For the installation, we are asking that everyone wear a nice pair of shorts or slacks with the convention polo. For State Officers and Supreme Council Members we are asking for slacks and a jacket. 

On a case by case basis to accommodate youth protection rules and regulations we may be able to add on additional registrations but we need to really fast. 

See you soon!
"Dad" Brusoe, Executive Officer
New York DeMolay
