Who Can Attend?
Come with your pack, troop, crew or even your family! You can also come by yourself for the day program or be a part of a overnight provisional unit supported by our adult leadership. New in 2021, we began offering programs for families. Learn more here!
- BSA only allows Lions to attend summer family, not summer day or resident camp.
- BSA requires Tigers to have an adult partner for day, resident, and family camp.
- We require Wolves attending resident camp provisionally (not attending with their Pack) to have a responsible adult and recommend the same for Bears.
How Long Does Camp Run?
There are three options for when anyone, regardless of program, can attend each week:
Full Week Resident Camp
Runs from Sunday, 1:00 pm to Saturday, 11:00 am.
Short Week Resident Camp
Has two sessions each week:
A: Sunday, 1:00 pm to Wednesday, 11:00 am.
B: Wednesday, 8:30 am to Saturday, 11:00 am.
Day Program Only
Runs Monday - Friday each week from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
What Will I Be Able To Do?
We are preparing a very flexible program centered on fun activities that will let:
Cub Scouts work on requirements for their Adventures,
Newer Scouts BSA work on requirements for Scout through First Class ranks,
Scouts BSA work on requirements for merit badges,
Venturers/Sea Scouts work on skills to support their interests,
Everyone have fun!!!!
