No Registration Needed

Reserve your spot before they're gone! Registration is limited!

Pack Family Campouts are hosted by the NEIC as an opportunity for Families and Packs to enjoy a weekend together at Camp Crown, with various program areas open and opportunities to join in planned activities, or to have fun on your own! These weekends are an excellent opportunity for “first-time tent campers” to get introduced to camping and to learn new skills, as fellow leaders and volunteers will be available to assist with tent setup and other skills. Meals and snacks are provided.

Meals: Saturday Lunch, Dinner, Crackerbarrel, and Sunday Breakfast are provided. 

Friday (optional): Packs and Families are welcome to add Friday Night to your registration, but meals will be on your own until Lunch on Saturday.

Saturday: Check-in and set up your campsite starting from 9 AM - 11 AM. There are optional self-guided gathering activities during this time. Activities open after lunch and run through Dinner, wrapping up with an evening campfire program at the fire bowl. Dens and Packs are encouraged to perform a song or skit!   

Sunday: Pack up Camp, grab breakfast, and head home. There will be an optional Scouts’ Own Interfaith Service.

Campsites will be assigned based on group size, and we will keep Packs together.

Activities: BB guns, Archery, Hiking, Games, Stargazing, Knots, Crafts, and more! Specific activities and locations will be announced at check-in.

Our Leader's Guide has been completed! Check it out in the attachments section of this page.
