Maintenance Committees
The Connecticut Yankee Council owns and operates five Camps; which fulfill the needs of the Council’s many outdoor programs, programs that have always been at the heart of the Scouting Movement.
Our Camps are maintained under the direction of the Camping Committee; Chairman Bill Hall and Staff Advisor Dan Cooley.

Who hath smelt wood-smoke at twilight?

Who is quick to read the noises of the night?
Let him follow with the others,
for the Young Men's feet are turning
Too the camps of proved desire
and known delight!
~ Rudyard Kipling
