2023 Summer Camp Guide
The Overnight Experience
A camp staff of approximately 20-25 staffers put on the camp program at each overnight camp location. While a pack or family provides leadership for their campers, the camp staff brings the fun and expertise to our camp programs.
- Swimming: both instructional swim and free swim. Parents can see their children learn this vital skill and come back from summer camp more advanced in their swimming.
- Shooting Sports program: at each camp campers will get to try their hand at BB guns and archery by trained staff. They will develop better motor skills and coordination. They will get shooting experience, learn to respect shooting sports, and learn about safety.
- Outdoor Skills: these programs highlight scout skills such as building a fire, wilderness survival, knot tying, and learning the ways of Scouting! They will have a general education of survival and camping from these programs.
- STEM: can include activities such as observing through microscopes, creating chemical reactions, launching rockets, learning snap circuits, discovering the scientific method, and more!
- Nature programs: observing wildlife local to the area (turtles, snakes, frogs, insects, etc.) and learning more about taking care of animals and our environment. Programs will discover local plants and give education on poison ivy and other plants to be cautious of. Planting and hiking the trails of each property are also part of this program.
- Each overnight camp will have a campfire program during the first evening. The evening is filled with laughter as the campers will enjoy songs and skits put on by their very own camp staff!
- All campers will receive a camp patch for attending!
