Summer Camp Programs
Our Summer Camp Programs have been carefully developed to enhance your units’ year-round program. Our summer camp program provides valuable opportunities for skill instruction, advancement, and most of all FUN for everyone.
First Year Camper Program
Our First Year Camper Program is the Buckskin Camper Program. It is an all-day program that combines the swimming merit badge, one merit badge of their choice and sessions for rank advancement requirements into a one-of-a-kind experience that will set up your new scouts for a successful scouting career.
Traditional Merit Badge Program
Our Merit Badges Program operates out of our 7 program areas: Waterfront, Environmental Conservation, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Shooting Sports, High Adventure, and the Tech Center. In these program areas you will see merit badges ranging from the traditional summer camp waterfront and environmental badges to newer STEM badges like robotics, programming, and chemistry at our tech center.
High Adventure Program
For more experienced Scouts we offer our Darlington Adventure Program. It includes a canoe trip on the Rio Reservoir, over nights at our outpost, rock climbing, and rappelling off Tecumseh Rock.
