In 1922 fathers of campers organized the Camp Becket Dads' Association. This group, which includes all dads of current campers, helps in raising funds for camperships and for improvements to camp facilities. Once each session, the association sponsors Dads' Weekend so that a father may spend a weekend with his son in the camp setting. It is always a high point for both father and son. Teen Programs One of Becket's strengths is the many options available to the older boy.
Special emphasis is given to innovative programs for teens.
Advanced tripping options include extensive off-site hiking, rock climbing, and canoeing trips. Our challenging ropes course program is also reserved for older campers. Each session a Construction Cabin of eight teens works with a master carpenter to build a new cabin or other valuable facility. Boys interested in learning minimum-impact camping skills may elect to sign up for our Odyssey Program. Countries visited in the past have included Great Britain, Kenya, Brazil, China, Japan, Sweden, Germany, and Russia.
