Get ready for a week of non-stop excitement and adventure at our Scouts BSA Summer Camp at Owasippe! Here, the wilderness becomes your home, and the stars your nightlight as you tent beneath the towering trees – but that’s just the beginning!
At Owasippe, the waterfront beckons with thrilling water sports like skiing, tubing, and boating, offering the perfect way to cool off and make a splash. Feeling daring? Our high adventure posts are your ticket to ziplining through the treetops and testing your fortitude on thrilling C.O.P.E. courses. For those who love tradition, there’s Scoutcraft and Handicraft, as well as a multitude of merit badges to earn. And don’t forget our Diamond O Ranch, where you can saddle up and explore the wilderness on horseback! Feeling crafty? The Flintlock Village is your chance to test your blacksmithing and handiness, creating unique keepsakes that you can cherish forever. And for those with a need for speed, we have ATVs and mountain biking to get your heart racing.
To end the week, we gather around the firebowl to tell stories, perform skits, and sing songs that will echo through the ages. It’s a time to reflect on the adventures we’ve shared, the skills we’ve mastered, and the memories we’ve made on our Scouting journey.
