Summer Camping – Cub Scouts
Cub Scout Day Camp
Day camp is organized by the council and is a one- to five-day program for Cub Scouts and Webelos. It is conducted under certified leadership at an approved site and during daylight or early evening hours. Day camp does not include any overnight activities. Certification of the day camp director and program director is provided through the National Camping School.
Day camp programs are theme-based and usually include nature, sports, aquatics, and crafts. Den and pack leaders often make up the nucleus of the day camp staff.
NOTE: Those entering first grade must have an adult partner with them at camp each day, all-day.

Summer Camping – Scouts BSA
Outdoor adventure is the promise made to youth when they join Scouting. They yearn for outdoor programs that stir their imagination and interest.
In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. Attributes of good character become part of a youth as they learn to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails and portages, and dealing with nature’s unexpected circumstances.
Scouts plan and carry out activities with thoughtful guidance from their Scoutmaster and other adult leaders. Good youth leadership, communication, and teamwork enable them to achieve goals they have set for themselves, their patrol or squad, and their troop or team.
