Camp Loud Thunder is celebrating 80 years in 2027!

Our summer camp program introduces young Scouts to new and rewarding experiences, and provides them with supportive and caring relationships. The Trailblazer program is a great way for a young Scout to work on advancement to First Class while becoming familiar with Camp Loud Thunder.

Returning older Scouts can participate in more advanced programs such as the Camp Loud Thunder Polaris ATV Program and Senior Patrol Leader training. Our C.O.P.E. course - with zip line - gives Scouts a chance to have some fun while working as a team through course challenges.

Camp Loud Thunder has the distinction of being the only summer camp program in the region to offer Scouts a chance to enjoy handgun marksmanship. Scouts are instructed and supervised by trained Scouting America/NRA adults so they can safely take part in this exciting activity.

Scouts who actively participate in what the Illowa Council’s Scout BSA Resident Camp has to offer will not be disappointed. They will become better prepared for life experiences. They will build character, strength, self-confidence, and lifelong friendships - all while having the best time of their summer!
