2010 Camp Theme - Time Travelers
While traveling through time, you will enjoy the activities, sights, and sounds of that time.
This July 4th weekend camp is designed as a group event to give everyone the opportunity to explore and experience our council camp. A camping group could be family, friends, neighbors, and with or without Scouts. A Scouting unit must follow the requirements of 2-deep leadership and the required ratio of adults to youth appropriate for their ages.
Bring your own tent, pop-up camper, or even a large motor home; however, there are no hook-ups for water or sewer, and no dump station at camp. There is limited electricity for medical purposes.
Being held on a Boy Scout Camp facility, this camp is focused on the family and the enjoyment of the outdoors in a safe environment. We are offering a wholesome atmosphere. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas and not in view of the youth. Possession of alcohol or fireworks of any kind will result in immediate dismissal from camp.

Take part in the program areas as you wish, as there is no set rotation. Due to the long hilly walk, you may want to visit all activities in one area, and then switch. There is plenty of time for planned activities, quality family time, or just to sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors.
Age appropriate activities include such things as archery, BB gun, 22 rifle, climbing, swimming, fishing, nature walks, crafts, stargazing, movie and game night, camp-wide potluck, community campfire, and Interfaith Chapel Service.
July 3 – Noon to 2 pm – registration and camp set up. Program areas will be open from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. There will be an all-camp potluck in the evening (bring your own meat to cook on our grills and something to share), community campfire program, games, a movie, or just relax.
July 4 – All meals are on your own. Program areas are open before and after lunch. There are no planned activities for the evening. You may attend the fireworks in Central City, stay in your campsite, or perhaps play a game in the dining hall.
July 5 – After the morning flag ceremony, there is a FREE hot breakfast for all. Everyone must be packed and ready to leave by 4:00 pm.
