Day Camp for Younger Scouts
Day Camp for younger Scouts moving up from Webelos gives the Scout a positive initial experience with summer camp. Scouts participate in our Dan Beard program program which is staffed by adults and Eagle Scouts. We emphasize the patrol method and work on advancement requirements from Tenderfoot to First Class. The program offers basic swimming instruction, Swimming merit badge, instruction in outdoor skills and age appropriate merit badges.  Come visit our new tree house for day campers!

Day Camp for Older Scouts
Day Camp for the older Scout focuses on Merit Badges, i.e. completing partials, work on advancement or just utilize the aquatics area or the shooting sports area to hone skills. If you are not yet First Class, you can also work on advancement requirements from Tenderfoot to First Class. Older Scouts ofter come to Day Camp because they have evening activities or a job that doesn't let them stay overnight.  If you want a overnight resident camp experience, be sure to visit the link on the left for our Camp Troop.
