Winter Camp 2027 is Coming!

Join us for three weekend sessions for Cub Scouts and three weekend sessions for Scouts BSA troops throughout February and March. Choose the session that works best for your unit and get ready for a winter filled with adventure, discovery, and Scouting fun!

Campers will enjoy winter-themed games, outdoor challenges, and activities that build teamwork while exploring the great outdoors. Scouts can discover winter wildlife, learn about conservation, and participate in engaging activities with opportunities to earn merit badges.

When the sun goes down, the fun continues with cozy campfires, storytelling, songs, stargazing, and hot cocoa shared with fellow Scouts. Guided by experienced staff, campers will develop new skills, build confidence, and create lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.

Bundle up, bring your sense of adventure, and make Winter Camp 2027 a highlight of your Scouting year!
