Scouts

Let us be your resource for nature programming!

We offer lodges, rustic cabins, tent camping and 230 acres for hiking and nature exploration. Don’t forget our high adventure opportunities! Our highly trained staff guide Scouts through hands-on explorations to complete badges, increase teamwork and challenge themselves to learn new skills.
