Down On The Farm - Down Home Fun!
Learn about animals and how to raise and care for them, what it takes to grow the food that we eat, doing farm chores and country-inspired crafts, games and activities. Campers will be provided their own patch, water bottle, and daily lunch. Camp T-shirts ($15) are available by pre-order in the online registration process. Due to the nature of the activities at Day Camp, Lion Cub Scouts are not allowed to attend.

Volunteer Opportunities
Camp is staffed primarily by parents and youth as volunteers. We need for YOU to be a part of the FUN! For each five Scouts a Pack sends to day camp, one adult must be present. For the safety of our
Cubs, all adult volunteers must be registered with the Boy Scouts of America and will need to complete Youth Protection training online AND fill out a camp staff application.
