SPECIALTY CAMPS
Specialty camps are a provisional program
which means the camp provides the adult
leadership. These programs allow a scout to
focus on one specific area of interest. Activities
in these programs go above and beyond our
normal camp offerings.
Aquatics Camp
August 16-21
Splash into adventure at Lake
Arrowhead. Spend a week in
the water swimming, kayaking,
canoeing, rowing, paddling,
sailing, snorkeling and
lifesaving. Aquatics camp will
also include motor boating and
water skiing on Long Island
Sound.
Science Camp
August 16-21
Science camp supplements and uses
the STEM program. Local science
related field trips are taken to see and
practice Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics.
Science with hands-on activities like
you never experienced within the four
walls of a typical classroom. The
entire camp is an outdoor learning
experience and the only thing missing
is YOU! Because of the popularity of
this program, early registration is
recommended.
