Camp Reneker provides quality camping experiences to Scout families at a modest cost. Nestled at the south end of Owasippe, Camp Reneker provides outdoor recreation programs for the parents and children of Scouting families and non-Scouting alike.
Reneker offers a variety of planned activities to help your family make the most out of camp. Each morning, campers are invited to join our age-group programs led by one of our enthusiastic staff members. Here, participants will hike, craft, play sports and games, sing songs, perform fun science experiments, participate in swim instruction, learn or develop skills, and participate in activities and a service project. As the day ends, campers are welcome to participate in different individual and family activities, as well as social events!
Surrounded by the forests of Owasippe, Reneker campers have many opportunities for fun in the natural beauty of the outdoors. Guided by experienced staff, campers can hike to the nearby Quaking Bog, (one of the natural wonders of Owasippe), the E. Urner Goodman Scouting Museum, Chief Owasippe’s Grave, or Paradise Valley. If sports are what you enjoy, you can play a game of volleyball, shoot baskets, or perfect your marksmanship skills on our archery/BB gun range, among others! Campers may also take advantage of other opportunities Owasippe has to offer, such as a trail ride at the Diamond O Ranch, climbing at the climbing wall, participating in Project C.O.P.E., or sailing on beautiful Big Blue Lake at the Fossett Sailing Base.

Today with your help, the Boy Scouts of America will continue to motivate young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime. Your gift will ensure that over 20,000 youth will have the opportunity to experience all that Scouting has to offer.
In Scouting, boys and girls start with their best right now selves and grow into their very best future selves. It’s fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life. Scout me in!
