About Us

Come to Camp Somers as a troop or as an individual:

• Troop Resident Camping - Come with your troop and enjoy a great week at camp.  Participate in all our great programs, work on merit badges and have some fun at camp.
• Individual Resident Camping - Our Camp Troop is an overnight program for Scouts who can’t go to summer camp with their troop or just want more weeks at camp. Work on more merit badges or just have fun at camp in any of our program areas. We provide adult leaders with many years of troop experience. Come for one or more weeks as an individual or with some of your friends.
• Boy Scout Day Camp - Day Camp is a great option for new scouts who may not be quite ready for overnight camp and those who want to get a head start on their Boy Scout adventure. New scouts can join the Dan Beard program which is a weeklong adventure for first year Boy Scouts moving up from Webelos. Older scouts are also welcome at Day Camp to work on merit badges and to have lots of fun in the various program areas. Bus transportation is provided from more than 50 locations throughout Morris, Sussex and NW Somerset counties.
