Day Camp at Camp Mattatuck

The Mattatuck Scouts Reservation is proud to offer summer day camps for ALL boys and girls, Scouts and non-Scouts, entering grades 2-5 in the fall. Tigers (entering grade 1) can attend with a legal guardian or their den leader.  Our day camp offers outstanding fun, educational, and adventurous activities. Campers are divided into small, well-supervised groups.  Day Camp is a great way for your Cub Scout age son or daughter to experience the thrill of the outdoors. It is also a good introduction to independence from mom and dad without being too far from home. The week-long program fills each day with adventure and experiences for which families join the Scouting program. Activities include archery, BB, swimming, crafts, nature, STEM, and much more. In 2025, our theme will be “Cubstruction.” Lunch is provided each day. 

Check-in each morning will begin at 8:30 am and run until 9 am. Scouts will spend the day going to different department areas. Pickup is at 4pm.

Friday Night for Day Campers:

Special offer: Families of Twilight campers can stay for dinner and our campfire Friday night.  The registered participants eat for free, and the meal costs $10 for any additional members.  Day camp dens will have the option of performing a skit or song at our campfire. 

Wait, there is more of a family choice; they can stay over!  The family of any-day campers and the scout can also add on Friday overnight.  The cost is $35 per tent. The scout's meals are free, and additional family members pay $10 for dinner and $5 for breakfast.
