Swimming instruction and recreational swimming activities are under the guidance of certified instructors. Camp has two scenic lakes where Scouts learn canoeing, rowing, rafting, kayaking and fishing skills. Shooting sports are always an attraction in our summer programs. Scouts may learn to safely experience .22 caliber rifle, black powder, shotgun shooting, and target archery on nationally certified ranges. COPE which stands for Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience , is comprised of group initiative games as well as low course and high course activities.
