Forestburg Scout Reservation is an incredible experience for both scouts and adults. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and truly feels like an escape into real outdoor adventure. Even in the cold, the atmosphere, scenery, and activities make it unforgettable from the frozen lake to the trails and overall program quality. The staff and leadership clearly care about what they’re doing, and... Forestburg Scout Reservation is an incredible experience for both scouts and adults. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and truly feels like an escape into real outdoor adventure. Even in the cold, the atmosphere, scenery, and activities make it unforgettable from the frozen lake to the trails and overall program quality. The staff and leadership clearly care about what they’re doing, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs. Our group had an amazing time, built great memories, and left already looking forward to the next trip back. If you’re looking for a true scouting experience that challenges you while still being fun and rewarding, Forestburg absolutely delivers.

Great scouting fun. Not too large for summer camp, so walking to classes wasn't too exhausting. Monkey bridge was a blast and they enjoyed the zip line too

A great place to camp out if you a scout. I’m from Troop 110 and we had a great experience except for the bear sometimes coming near our camp (it’s a cub and doesn’t show any aggression, yet) but besides the bear it’s a great scout camp and has many merit badges including environment related to art related. There are also some great hikes (I recommend taking a hike to Darlington falls.) Overall, g... A great place to camp out if you a scout.

Best summer camp I’ve ever been to great food even better experience after the closing campfire I was holding back tears that was Friday July 25 so I knew it was an amazing summer camp miss the water front and hope to be back next year I had a great waterfront consler named Sasha she was an amazing person lifeguard and role model I will miss her he helps people by just being herself forestburgh if you could tell her victorious said this I think she would be very happy to know the full impact she had on me she was more than a consler she was a friend and a very good one this camp’s pictures do not do it justice and the view is breathtaking the friends you make along the way are great
