What’s in it for me at DLC?

Just the best summer of your life…

…And a lifetime of friends!

What is DLC?

DLC is a weeklong experience for DeMolay members to learn more about DeMolay and themselves

Who should go to DLC?

Members from all over the country attend the Pacific Northwest DLC but most come from the Pacific Northwest and Canada.  DLC is particularly recommended for councilors or members who want to become chapter leaders.  But, DLC is appropriate for any member.

What happens at DLC?

DLC is FUN!  During your week at DLC you have lots to chose from.  You will learn and practice meeting and activity planning, participate in sports activities, share your DeMolay experiences with others, join a ritual team, help publish the newsletter, go swimming, edit a video, and meet and learn from and with DeMolays you never knew before.

How much is DLC?

Pacific Northwest DLC 2010 is $325.  Your check should accompany your registration.

What will I Like Most?

Your best answer to this question may come from a member of your chapter who has attended DLC in the past.  For some guys, it’s the friendships, for some, it’s the insights into themselves and others, for others, they most enjoy what they learn about DeMolay and how to be a better leader.  Count on it.  There’s something in it for YOU at the Pacific Northwest DeMolay Leadership Conference!

So, how do I sign up?

Mail a Registration form with the approval of your Chapter Advisor.  Registration forms are available from the DeMolay office, from this link, or from the DLC website:   www.pnwdlc.org  Or, register on-line at the website or click here.  The website also has a copy of the participant information packet or click here with directions, what to bring, and other helpful information about the camp.

Can I get some help with the cost?

Many jurisdictions have scholarship programs for DLC that may cover part of the cost.  Check with your Dad Advisor or Executive Officer about availability of scholarships, and many sponsoring bodies, such as the Lodge, Shrine Club or Scottish Rite that sponsors your Chapter will offer assistance for DLC.  Check with your Dad Advisor about this assistance.  It’s worth the effort!

What about the facility?

Pacific Northwest DeMolay Leadership Conference is located at Camp Brinkley, Snohomish, Washington.  The Center is a beautiful forest camp site with modern amenities and facilities including sports fields, staffed kitchen, lake front, and accommodations with foam mattresses and complete indoor bathrooms with private showers.

What about transportation?

Camp Brinkley, the site for DLC, is one hour outside of Seattle, Washington near Monroe.  Participants are expected to provide their own transportation to and from the site.  However, if you are flying or bussing into Seattle, transportation will be provided from the bus depot or from Seattle/Tacoma International Airport .  If flying in, be sure to allow at least two hours for luggage pickup and transportation to and from the camp when scheduling your flights!
