Wah-Tut-Ca Sale

We are writing to share an important update regarding Camp Wah-Tut-Ca and its future.

After careful consideration, the Spirit of Adventure Council has sold Camp Wah-Tut-Ca to an organization that plans to continue using the property for youth recreational camping programs. We are pleased that the property will continue to serve young people and provide opportunities for outdoor recreation, adventure, and personal growth.

An important part of this transition is the continued availability of Camp Wah-Tut-Ca to the Scouting community. Scout units will still have the opportunity to rent and use the property for camping and other appropriate activities. While ownership of the property will change, Scouts and leaders will continue to have opportunities to enjoy the camp and create new memories there.

Camp Wah-Tut-Ca has played an important role in the Scouting experience for generations. Countless Scouts, leaders, volunteers, and families have spent time at camp building friendships, learning new skills, developing leadership, and experiencing the outdoors. We recognize the deep connection many members of our Scouting community have to this special place.

We believe this transition provides an opportunity for Camp Wah-Tut-Ca to continue its tradition as a place dedicated to youth and outdoor experiences while also allowing Scout units continued access to the property.

We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to Camp Wah-Tut-Ca over the years—from the volunteers who maintained and improved the property to the leaders and families who helped make camp experiences possible. Most importantly, we are grateful for the generations of young people whose experiences have made Camp Wah-Tut-Ca such a meaningful part of our history.

As the transition moves forward, we will provide additional information regarding future rental opportunities and procedures for Scout units as those details become available.

Thank you for your continued commitment to Scouting and to providing young people with meaningful outdoor experiences.

Sincerely,

Spirit of Adventure Council
