2 Sep 2024 — Camp Workcoeman has a variety of programs taking place this fall for both Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts. In addition, training opportunities and campsite/facility rentals are available. We hope to you at camp!
Scouting units are able to reserve inner loop campsites (Nathan Hale, Baden Powell, Tunxis, Kahagon, Seton, Outpost) any night of the week all summer (Friday and Saturday night must be reserved together). Canvas tents with cots, canopies, latrines, and showers will be available. If units bring their own food, ice and/or refrigeration may be available upon request. Additionally, prepared food is available for purchase with sufficient notice; please see the order form (at the bottom of this page) for details.
While at camp, units should plan their own programs but Scouts may sign up for day programs offered during their stay. Certain camp facilities (shooting ranges, waterfront, climbing wall, etc.) are available for rent for an additional fee. Camp will provide staffing as needed.

Family camping is available in the Tee Pee campsite which features standard and deluxe tents as well as an upgrade latrine. This opportunity is ideal for families with a Scout attending multiple concurrent day programs or those that just want to spend a few days outdoors. Several options are available: (1) bring your own tent for $15/night, (2) standard 7'x9' canvas tents with cots for $25/night, and (3) deluxe 12'x16' canvas tents with bedding for $50/night.
Upon request, Camp Workcoeman can prepare meals for your unit or family while they are in camp this summer. Meals will be served in the Dining Hall. Breakfast is $6, lunch is $8, and dinner is $10. Meal requests must be made at least two weeks in advance, and payment will be collected at camp.
Camp Workcoeman is located in the hills of northwest Connecticut in scenic New Hartford and Barkhamsted. The camp consists of approximately 427 acres on the shore of beautiful West Hill Pond, possibly the cleanest in Connecticut.
Established in 1924, it is one of the oldest continuously operated Scout camps in the country. For 100 years, thousands of Scouts and Scouters have had unforgettable Scouting experiences at Camp Workcoeman. This fine tradition of Scouting continues today.
