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 a representative to one of our leader orientation 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 6th and 20th beginning at 1:30 PM. An additional meeting for Long Island troops will be held May 13th beginning at 10 AM in the Notre Dame Parish Rectory (45 Mayfair Rd, New Hyde Park, NY 11040). It is only necessary to attend one of these meetings.
The 2017 Boy Scout Program Guide is now available. It contains everything you need to know to plan your week of fun at Camp Workcoeman. Included in the guide is information on this year’s theme: Heroes and Legends.
The 2017 merit badge section of the program guide is now available. See what badges are being offered, and when, and start planning your summer now! The full program guide will be available shortly.
