Awesome Adventures for Individual Campers!

Looking for a great camping adventure without your troop? Patriots’ Path Council camps have a number of options from which to choose. In addition to provisional troop Boy Scout day camps and resident camps at Camp Somers and Winnebago Scout Reservation, we have high adventure canoe treks at Sabattis, Sabattis Adventure Camp with patrol style cooking, Specialty Camps at Camp Somers, and co-ed resident camping with Camp COLEY!

BOY SCOUT DAY CAMPS

Boy Scout day camp is a great option for Scouts who may not be ready for overnight camp or have other commitments and cannot stay overnight. Day camp provides these Scouts with a great way to work on advancement or enjoy program areas at camp.

Trailblazer Day Camp at Camp Somers

First year Scouts can work on Tenderfoot through First Class rank requirements, outdoor skills, and an age appropriate merit badge. Older Scouts can work on merit badges. Everyone has fun in the camp program areas.

Winnebago Scout Reservation offers a flexible approach to day camp. New Scouts are encouraged to come for a full week, but any Scout can come for a week or for specific full or half days to complete merit badges, work on advancement, or just participate in program areas.

BOY SCOUT RESIDENT CAMPS

Camp Somers , Sabattis Adventure Camp , and Winnebago Scout Reservation all offer week-long resident camping for individual Scouts with a provisional troop. Scouts in a provisional camp troop are typically boys who enjoy summer camp and want to be at camp for more than the one week most troops attend camp. We have trained adult leaders with troop experience for these campers.

Winnebago Scout Reservation also offers Trail to Eagle Camp to help Scouts achieve their goal of attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Campers form a troop in camp with like-minded Scouts and our experienced adult leaders.

Specialty Camps at Camp Somers are one-week only and are designed for individual campers who want to fully immerse themselves in one program area for the entire week. Specialty camps are open to boys and girls . Pick your favorite from the list below, tell your friends, and be there for a great week!
