Program Information

Cub Scout Day Camp

Program Overview

Qualified Staff

Each of our Cub Scout camping programs is administered by a nationally certified camp director and program director along with a health officer (nurse or EMT) and an archery director. All staff members complete special training and are highly qualified. Parent volunteers are the key to our success and serve in the role of den leaders.

Dens

Dens are arranged by similar age and rank. This is done so activities can be presented in an age-appropriate manner. Dens registered as First Class Camp Dens will stay together. Individual den requests will be considered but cannot be guaranteed.

Friday Family Picnic

Parents are invited to attend our closing Friday picnic. Hot dogs, chips, watermellon and bug juice are available for $5 per non-camper attending. The picnic begins around noon on Friday and runs until 2:00 p.m.

Camp Trading Post

Scouts will have the opportunity to visit the camp trading post for snacks and camp merchandise during the day. Healthy snacks, t-shirts, bottled water and candy will be available for sale. Scouts spend about $4 a day at the trading post, on average.

Two Unique Program Sessions Offered
The Cub Scout Day Camp program is divided into two types of weeks: “Knights” and “Wizards.” Some programs will happen at every day camp, some programs are specific to the facilities and some programs are specific to the program week. Scouts are encouraged to come to more than one week of day camp to earn more belt loops and get the full experience of day camp. Any combination of a Knights and Wizards program will maximize the fun. The session schedule lists which program is offered during which week.
