Scouts BSA
The walk into camp is worth the trip. Troops arrive Sunday afternoon and take the 1.3 mile walk with their personal gear into camp. Scouts and Leaders stay in one of the camp’s cabins spread through out camp and enjoy eating all of their meals in the dining hall that overlooks Favorite Channel. Camp activities are scheduled around the tide so merit badge and activity times are scheduled to maximize both high and low tides. The camp is in a rain forest so be prepared with proper boots and rain gear to have the most positive experience while enjoying seeing the eagles, whales, sea lions and other animals that call this area home. Friday night campfires are always a big hit! The camp is far enough South in Alaska that there is dusk and night. It is not uncommon to see a cruise ship lit up at night making its way up the channel after campfire. The camp is very grateful to the local volunteers and organizations who come in and help make camp successful. Getting there is half the fun!
Cub Scout
All meals are provided. Each pack will have a campsite and cabins assigned to them. Campers who need to leave each day will still have a cabin to place their gear and are encouraged to ride their bikes, with helmets, in and out of camp. Cabins have bunk beds but do not have pads. Campers need to dress for rain as it is common in Juneau. One of the highlights of camp is Saturday when families are invited to come into camp, spend the morning and leave with their Cub Scouts after lunch.
