14 Dec 2024 — Camp Workcoeman has a variety of programs taking place this winter and spring for both Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts. In addition, training opportunities and campsite/facility rentals are available. We hope to you at camp!
An exciting program for Scouts BSA units that will combine navigation and heritage of the camp itself, all concluding with a Saturday evening campfire to open the 100th anniversary summer.
This will be one of the main events to mark the 100th anniversary of Camp Workcoeman! This event will feature a patrol based program, where Scouts will travel to various locations throughout the camp and participate in activities that connect to the history of Camp Workcoeman. Scouts will have the chance to put together a code related to camp history, participate in a patch auction, take part in a campfire on Saturday evening, and to learn and become part of the awesome history of the camp.
Check-in is held on Friday evening from 6:00–8:00 PM; there will be a Saturday morning check-in from 7:00-8:00 AM. Campsites will be assigned in advance and communicated to units beforehand. The event ends at 10:00 AM on Sunday.
All participants will receive a commemorative patch.
Cost: $15 per participant
Unit registration is available and encouraged. Please fill out the intent form below ASAP to help us plan.
