Parents are urged to discuss purchasing guidelines with their campers before camp. Parents can control the amount of spending by controlling the amount of pocket money the camper brings with him on a daily basis. Facilities Camp Yaw Paw is located in a beautiful wooded area in the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains. Swimming and boating take place on our spring-fed lake under the supervision of qualified and certified BSA Aquatics Director and Lifeguards. All program areas have sheltered areas available for inclement weather.
Lunch is served in the camp's dining pavilion.
We are pleased and proud to provide a full complement of trained staff members who aim to please. All staff members undergo an intensive pre-camp training week. In addition, the National Camping School, a special training week run by the National Office, Boy Scouts of America, certifies key staff members. All volunteers are welcome, a week at a time, or for the whole summer. We are happy to place adult volunteers in many different positions, not just in Den Leader positions, and we are also happy to have Boy Scouts at least 14 years old serve as Den Chiefs.
