Cub Scout
Resident Camp
August
3-8, 2008
What’s your favorite camp
activity - BB shooting, archery, waterfront, crafts, boating, bouldering,
campfires? We have it all and more!! There are new skills to learn
and one session daily with activities exclusively for boys of your Cub Scout
rank. Campers and adult partners stay in platform tents, travel to
most activities with the rest of their campsite buddies, eat in a dining
hall and take part in planning an evening campfire. Showers and
toilet facilities keep campers comfortable. Don’t forget your fishing
pole, but leave the snacks at home – we’ve got a Trading Post!
Outstanding camp adventure for Wolves, Bears, and Webelos Scouts.
Help your Pack earn the Summertime Pack Award by joining us at camp.
