Great Summer Camp Opti o ns for Cubs and Webelos!

It's that time of the year when parents start looking for summer activities for their sons and daughters. If you have never considered registering your child for camp, check out this great article published by the American Camp Society, New England 10 Reasons Why Your Child Needs to Go to Summer Camp. Patriots’ Path Council is proud to offer numerous summer day camp, evening camp, and overnight camp options for boys and girls entering grades 2 - 5 in the fall. Your child does not have to be a Scout to register for Cub Scout day camp or Camp COLEY. All of our camps emphasize fun, learning, and adventure in a safe environment. Our camps are nationally accredited and inspected by local, state, and national organizations. The staff are fully trained and background checked. Lifeguards are certified and camps have an on-site, state certified, EMT or RN.

SUMMER DAY CAMPS Our summer day camps are conveniently located in Mountainside, NJ and Stanhope, NJ. Both locations welcome boys and girls entering grades 2-5 in the fall. Tigers entering first grade are welcome to attend with a parent. Camp runs for six weeks from July 2 through August 10 and offers outstanding activities for a full day of fun, learning, and adventure. Our campers are divided into small, well-supervised groups. Free busing is provided from many locations in the surrounding counties and we are working with local businesses to bring more bus stops to locations where parents work. If you work for a company that would be interested in this service, give Keith a call at 973-765-9322, ext. 412.
