Just across the road from our Outpost we have 13 acres of wooded camping areas where your troop can set up camp for the night.
Here is a breakdown of the different packages & activities we offer:
Camping, Nature & Games: $10 per person Scouts will have the opportunity to take part in the following:

Chaperones and/or parents will be required to help supervise scouts while on the water. Groups of up to 30 scouts can be on the water kayaking at one time.
