We have many options for your Scout to attend a local day camp. Your Scout may attend one or more day camps this summer. Each one of our day camps offer many different activities and adventures.

Day Camp is open to all Cub Scouts, Siblings of Cub Scouts, and Kindergarten graduates, and will offer an unforgettable outdoor experience with activities ranging from Shooting Sports to STEM.

Pine Ridge Day Camp is held at Pine Ridge Scout Camp located in Makanda, IL. This camp is held Thursday-Saturday June 12-14 from 8:45AM to 4:15PM. Units will need to provide their own leadership for this camp. Questions regarding this camp?  Contact Camp Director Kathleen Gaare-Wiese at (618) 528-2032 or kgaarewiese@gmail.com.

Overnight Option

There will be an overnight option to stay overnight on Friday Night. This will include a simple dinner, campfire, and camping experience. This experience is an extra $15. When registering, you will only need to choose the "with Overnight" option to attend.

Leadership Requirements

Each Pack will need to have 2 Den Leader Walk Arounds for every 8 Scouts each day of the duration of the camp. Or each family will need to provide at least one adult. The Den Leader will be responsible for checking-in the Scouts, walking them to each station, extra hands at stations, discipline if needed for their Scouts.  The same parent doesn't have to walk around all week. Please work with your pack to insure there is proper leadership for your Pack. Tiger Scouts (those entering 1st grade as of the fall of 2025), will need to have an adult partner with them each day of camp.
