Outdoor adventure is the promise made to Scouts when they join Scouting. Scouts yearn for outdoor programs that stir their imagination and interest.
Summer Camp is held at Camp Strake.
Winter Camp is held each year from December 26-31, and is an opportunity for troops and individual Scouts. Merit badge classes are taught by Scouters with real-life experiences in the field.
Campsgiving, held during Thanksgiving break, is the turducken of camps—an all-in-one experience combining Turkey Camp, STEM Camp, and Mission Lone Star. Whether you're a Scout seeking merit badges, scientific discovery, or high-adventure thrills, there's something here for everyone.
The Trail to Eagle Camp is held over spring break, and is an opportunity for troops and individual Scouts. Scouts can earn Eagle Scout-required merit badges. Merit badge classes are taught by Scouters with real-life experiences in the field.
Full Throttle is a weekend event for troops, crews, and ships. Scouts spend a half-day participating in program areas such as shooting sports (rifle, shotgun, archery), climbing, COPE (high-ropes course), swimming, ziplining, and boating (canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, rowboats) and a half-day taking a merit badge class. The camp staff provides the program leadership supported by the unit leaders. Individual Scouts can attend; units can camp for the weekend.
Weekend camping is a great opportunity for Scouts to practice their skills and have a great time in the outdoors. Troops and crews can camp at council camps.
Camp Staff serve Scouting by being a staff member at one of the council's camps.
