New theme!!  STEM & Skilled Trades Camp is an extraordinary overnight experience for Scouts full of many STEM and Skilled Trades based merit badges and over-the-top activities. Scouts will attend one merit badge (over 60 to choose from!) or NOVA Award session each day and may have the opportunity to work on other badges in the evening.

Afternoon and evenings will include other fun STEM and camp programs plus exhibits to experience (drones, 3D printing, chemistry experiments, chess competition, math competition, trades simulators, pioneering kit, archery, rifle, shotgun, STEM Trailer - vortex cannons, electronics, laser engraving, oculus headsets, CNC router, 3D pens, etc...). If you want more in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and skilled trades, this is the week to be out at camp!  Order of the Arrow will not be offered.

A special patch and t-shirt will be given to participants attending this week. After registering, participants will be sent the Program Manual, or you can download it from the Camping-Scouts BSA section of the Council webpage - www.stlbsa.org. Available after April 2nd.  Scouts can attend by themselves or with their troop.   Need ABC Health Form for all week-long participants - see attachments.  

***With merit badge / nova award selections, the Program Director will email the list to you directly and ask for the Scout's choices at that time.  You can choose to be on the STEM Track or Skilled Trades Track.  The teaser list is included below.  This process may not start till late March.   We appreciate your patience and interest in this special week.***
