Camp Workcoeman will once again host a week long Cub Scout Day Camp!
It is a 5 day program perfect for Tiger, Wolf, and Bear Scouts. Day camp has all the fun of a summer camp experience without the overnight element. Scouts will have a blast swimming, learning new skills, becoming a top shot on the BB and archery ranges, learning new games on the Sports Field, and having fun in the Crafts Lodge.
Day Camp also features several special activities including a Blue and Gold pot-luck dinner and fellowship campfire.
All the fun takes place under the watchful eye of our highly trained and certified staff ensuring a safe and fun experience. Camp Workcoeman is a Nationally Accredited Camp by the BSA and has a long history in Scouting since 1924.
Be sure to sign up for this summer blast today!
