24 Apr 2024 — All pages of the camp website have been updated with info on the 2024 summer season, and registration is open for all summer programs. The Scouts BSA Summer Program Guide is now available.
Summer is fast approaching. To make sure you and your troop are prepared, we ask that each troop sends their camp Scoutmaster and Senior Patrol Leader to one of our pre-camp planning meetings. We will discuss information on new merit badges, program opportunities, medical form preparations, and everything you need to know for planning your troop’s summer camp experience.
Meetings will be held in the Camp Workcoeman Dining Hall on May 11th and 18th beginning at 1:30 PM. An additional meeting for Long Island troops will be held April 27th beginning at 10:00 AM in St. Raymond’s School Cafeteria (263 Atlantic Avenue, East Rockaway, NY 11518). It is only necessary to attend one of these meetings. Please confirm attendance to the Camp Director, Lou Seiser ([email protected]).
Join us on Saturday, June 1st for the annual Camp Workcoeman Beaver Day. This work day allows us to get a head start on setting up camp for another exciting season. We’ll gather in the Dining Hall at 8:30 AM before beginning work at 9:00 AM. Lunch will be provided. Click here for more information. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Additionally, spring works days are scheduled for Saturday, May 4th and Saturday, May 11th.
