Something for Everyone
Friday, 02 July 2010 19:00
Many of the troops that come to Camp Friedlander return summer after summer because of the wide variety of activities. We understand that younger Scouts and older Scouts like to engage in different things and the camp program is built to offer exciting opportunities for every age. There's even activities and trainings for adult leaders.
While Merit Badge instruction is the core of the camp program, there's plenty more going on. Open program area times allow Scouts to explore a new interest, campwide games challenge patrols to compete against each other, and the Order of the Arrow holds events every night of camp. Your week of camp will be jam-packed with fun and new experiences -- check out some of the great things waiting for you at Camp Friedlander.
