At Adventure Scouts Camp, we are committed to providing a fully immersive outdoor experience like your child has never had before. We will learn some incredibly fun and exciting nature skills like using friction to make a fire, and the safe and effective way to use a carving knife. We will explore the woods and creeks of Crestwood Park and never pass up an opportunity to let our imagination run wild. We will connect with the outdoors through memorable experiences and allow games, lessons, and  hikes to strengthen that bond. 

Adventure Scouts is by far the most hands-on camp out of those we offer and your child is guaranteed to walk away with new knowledge about the outdoors and a heightened appreciation for nature no matter what their experience level is outside. Whether it is about the well-crafted stories our staff will entertain them with each morning or the feelings they experienced embarking on their first string-stalk, you are sure to hear all about this camp for a long time to come.
