This year's theme is Quarantine!

2020 is a year like no other and we are changing our Spook-o-ree format to better accommodate our families and deliver a more meaningful event.  We are moving to an a la carte activity day, which means there is no restriction on family size attending.  We are opening up the camps for unit camping on Oct 16-18 and Oct 23-25 through our camping reservation system.  Click here to make a reservation.  If you are less than 2 weeks out, please contact Christine.chansley@scouting.org to make your reservation.  Families are welcome to come for the evening. 

Due to COVID mitigation, there is a maximum camp capacity in effect.  Please pre-register to guarantee your spot.  Once the camp is full, we will be turning away walk ups.
