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.
Begin the Workcoeman Centennial with a hike that goes back more than 200 years. Visit the remains of 19th century homesteads, see evidence of the charcoal industry, and enjoy a view over West Hill Pond and across to the Metacomet Ridge. Participants should be prepared for a vigorous winter hike of about five miles and come dressed in weather-appropriate layers. In addition to the Scout basic essentials, participants should bring a backpack, a warm lunch in a thermos, a wag bag, and winter traction. Snowshoes may be required in the case of a particularly heavy snow load.
Gather for this hike at the camp chapel by the parking lot at 8:00 AM; come prepared to hike five miles and pack a trail snack. The hike will end early afternoon.
Cost: Free (but please register)
