I spent 5 summer camps there back in the early 80s. looked forward to it every year. Good times. Canoeing, mile swims, trail building. I can hear it now "Stop ramming the canoes"!

Merit Badges are all partials. You have to walk in the blazing hot sun and everything is a mile away from each other. Tubing was fun, but get there early. Spots are very limited. The food was booty, EDIT: BSA (erm actually and sadly, it’s not called BSA anymore to be more inclusive!) is most likely one of the worst organizations I have ever been apart of, I don’t regret anything about leaving.

I hope and pray that you don’t join, and experience the horrors I did. And to those who are in scouts currently, ggs, maybe your experience was better than mine, but my experience in BSA just did not seem worth it for the reward, and I have never ever in my life felt more free than I have then when I left scouts, jokingly, I call the day I left scouts, INDEPENDENCE DAY If I could rate any experience in BSA I would rate every single one a -10 trillion also if I could rate this place a 0 I would but unfortunately UNFORTUNATELY (very unfortunate) I can’t.

Beautiful site and facility for Scouting America. They were hit hard by Helene but have bounced back and have demonstrated amazing resilience! 🙏👍

This camp is only for the elite gooners, only true jelkers can enjoy this camp. Sigma Nancy. The view of the nature, looks like something you'd see of from GTA 5, thanks Alan 😉

A great Scout camp in the foothills. Great terrain for ATVs, shooting sports, of course a lake, and C.O.P.E. & Climbing facilities. And the programs offered have put a lot of thought into welcoming even those with disabilities. Stuck in a wheelchair, poor upper body strength? Come play anyway--with planning and teamwork, adventures are here!

Pretty skibidi camp when I was there, hoping it’s still skibidi without me this year!
