Providing Youth a Summer Full of Adventure
From crafting and skit performances to learning about the world, our summer camp stands out when it comes to preparing kids for life and older Scouting programs.
- Children in First grade through fifth can participate in Day Camp.
- Tigers (children in 1st grade) may attend Day Camp, or Tiger Day Camp, but are required to have an adult partner with them at camp.
- Lions (children in Kindergarten) may attend the Evening with the Lions Event – designed to be a special welcome event for our newly recruited Lions. A parent must be present with the Lion to attend.
- Our Day Camps vary in length, time, and location.
