Troop 746 Summer Camps


Attempt to chronicle where T746 has been to summer camp over the years.  Since about 1989 approximately every 3 years the Troop goes on a long range trip (typically out west) and after a week of touring attends summer camp.  During these trips the rest of the trip (mostly first year boys) attend a local summer camp.  Also, the year after the long range trip it has been custom for the Troop to pick a non-local summer camp.  Records in TroopMaster only back to 2007.  The Troop's 60th Anniversary booklet has summer camps dating back to 1960.

non local options



Will attempt to put together a list of all summer camps that are driveable.  Assume 50 miles = 1 hour so will get all camps within 500 miles.  Will add a Google Map when done.  For now have a map with rings centered around St. Joseph's.


Map


Google Maps version (incomplete)

Green School = St. Joseph's
Green Tent = previous T746 summer camp
Yellow House = High Adventure base
Blue Boat = white water rafting (Lehigh Valley, Harpers Ferry, Ohiopyle)
Blue Skier = skiing (Timberline)
Red Pin = BSA summer camp (nothing too special)
Blue Pin = good summer camp (potential future camp)
Green Pin = consideration for next summer camp

Map is stored on T746 calendar gmail account

Selection Process


Involve the boys early in the process.

Find a camp that caters to the level of the boys in the Troop.  Need strong older boy program, Eagle badges (for those that want it), and new boy program (if needed).  Determine if boys want a pool or lake.  And dining hall facility.

Distance isn't much of a concern until get past 3 hours.  Then need to consider if fits into plans.  If over 6 hours need to contemplate adding an extra day of travel with something to visit to fill the time.

Get feed back from other troops.  First hand knowledge is better than stories filtered through multiple parties.

Camp that sponsor BSA camp school seem to really have good people on staff.
