Choosing a Tent or Cabin

If you choose the Overnight Option: In accordance with the Boy Scouts of Americia's requirements we must follow the BSA's Guide to Safe Scouting, privacy and sleeping arrangement Standards and Youth Protection policies.  For overnight campers, male and female adults require separate sleeping facilities. Married couples may share the same quarters. Male and female youth participants must not share the same sleeping facility.

Options include:

1. Group cabins: Separate male & female group cabins are a good option for campers who prefer not to sleep in tents and those who aren't allowed by BSA rules to sleep in a tent together.  These will likely be the "Peterson" cabins.
    
2. Family tents: Married couples are allowed to sleep together with their children in a tent they bring to camp. No youth is allowed in the tent of an adult other than his/her parent or guardian.
    
3. Family cabins: Married couples are allowed to sleep together with their children in a smaller family cabin.  An additional $50 per family charge applies. These are called "Adirondack" cabins and are a hike or a short drive away from the group cabins, meals and most of program activities. This map shows the relative location of the cabins.

Can You Help?

Family Camp is a hands-on experience for all participants. Everyone pitches in!  Helping cook meals and keeping the campsite clean is a responsibility for all. In addition, we need one or more volunteers, preferably with some experience, to plan meals, outdoor skill building, activities, etc. You'll have plenty of help. Can we count on you?

Camperships Available

Pack 151 believes every boy should have the opportunity to experience the excitement of camping, and wants to provide the opportunity for registered boys to go to camp. These experiences help boys learn new skills and advance through the ranks of Scouting. The intent of "Camperships" is to ensure that any boy with financial difficulties is not denied the opportunity to attend camping programs. Contact Pack Committee Chair Mike Bailey or Cubmaster Charlie Niven for more info.
