Theme Areas

Designed to inspire the imagination...

Cub World has four imaginative theme areas for campers to explore. Each area highlights an era of the past, immersing Scouts and their families in a world all their own during their stay at camp. For Adventure Camp, Scouts are housed in any of the four program areas based on rank and participate in the age appropriate program there. For Fun with Son, Scouts and their families can choose to stay in any area they wish.


Fort

Pioneer Fort

This location offers four and eight person sleeping rooms with screened windows, bunk beds with mattresses and an indoor plumbing facility.  Each room also has electric outlets for a box fan on hot nights, and there is a fire ring behind the Fort for den campfires. There are two large activity rooms on the inside corners of the Fort, and the two covered turrets on the upper deck make for great ourdoor activity centers. The Fort is also the home of the Cub World Trading Post and the Nature Center. There is a restroom inside the Fort and a showerhouse facility will be shared with the Castle. The Fort has a 68 person capacity.

For Adventure Camp, the Fort daytime program is designed for Wolf Cub Scouts and Tiger Cubs to help ease the boys (sometimes leaders, too!) into the camping experience and includes lots of games, crafts, and fun for younger boys.  The theme of the Fort will invite the boys to imagine themselves as the cowboys of the Old West, Indians, or pioneers.



Medieval Castle

Like the Fort, this location offers four and eight person sleeping rooms with screened windows, bunk beds with mattresses and an indoor plumbing facility.  Each room also has electric outlets for a box fan on hot nights, and there is a fire ring next to the Castle for Pack campfires. There are two large activity rooms on the inside corners of the Castle, and an upper deck goes all the way around the top making for great views over the ramparts across the battlefields of Cub World. There is a restroom inside the castle, and a showerhouse facility will be shared with the Fort. The Castle has a 72 person capacity.

For Adventure Camp, the Castle daytime program is designed for Bear Scouts, mid-level Cubs, and will include some Scouting skills, lots of games and sport activities, and crafts.  The theme of the Castle will reflect the myth of the medieval knights and lords of old.

Castle


Mtn. Man Village

Mountain Man Village

This is a unique camping experience in canvas tents on large wooden platforms up in the hills of Cub World.  Even when the hot summer sun beats down on Cub World, the Mountain Man Village stays cool and breezy under the shady canopy of trees. Each tent can sleep two and includes cots and mattresses.  A large pavilion at the bottom of the hill serves as an assembly area. The shower house shared with Miner’s Camp is only a short walk away from the village.  The Mountain Man Village has a capacity of 72.

For Adventure Camp, the Mountain Man daytime program, designed for First Year Webelos as they prepare for their journey into Boy Scouts, is more primitive than the Castle and Fort programs and will include many Scouting skills and a focus on the outdoors while still offering plenty of games, sports, and crafts.  The theme of the area will be along the lines of mountaineers such as Jeremiah Johnson and the pioneers of the fur trade. 


Miner's Camp

This is the most primitive of the theme areas.  The tents are on wooden platforms setup like an 1800’s gold miner’s camp, with an actual mine where the boys can dig for gold.  A stream runs through the camp where boys can pan for gold, fossils, and other treasures. The entire camp is surrounded by tall trees, and is bordered by the Camp Friedlander Boy Scout camp. Each tent sleeps two and includes cots and mattresses, and the camp has a pavilion and fire ring. A shower house shared with the Mountain Man Village is a short walk from the camp. 

For Adventure Camp, the Miner’s Camp daytime program, designed for Second Year Webelos, is focused on outdoor skills and preparing for the crossover to Boy Scouts. The most anticipated activity for Miners is the one-night “Outpost.” This exciting experience will find the boys hiking through Camp Friedlander to see first-hand what the Boy Scouts do, followed by the fun and adventure of spending the night under the stars with the camp staff at a campsite on the edge of Cub World.
