  • Retreat and Evening Program

A camp-wide retreat ceremony begins at 5:45 p.m. on the Parade Field. Scouts and leaders must be in full field uniform (class A) if participating. We ask that the SPL be present each night for the ceremony to report in for the troop and to receive important information. Dinner will follow retreat. A camp-wide leader's meeting follows dinner. Each troop should bring a complete merit badge roster and their activity plans to this meeting. A guided tour is offered for those new to camp following dinner as well. A camp-wide opening campfire, put on by the staff, begins at 8:30 p.m
