Giddy Up! It’s time to dust off your boots and saddle up your horses for a 3-day, 2-night adventure at Camp Amikaro!

Our campers will spend their days exploring camp, participating in exciting activities, and learning from our trained staff. Each night we will conclude the fun with a good ol’ fashioned campfire! In 2022 we’re introducing two new program areas- Handicraft and Field Games!

Program areas at camp will include STEM, Climbing, Shooting Sports, Swimming, Boating & Fishing, Nature, Handicraft, Field Games, Webelos Outback*, and Arrow of Light Adventure*

*The Webelos Outback and Arrow of Light Adventure are limited to 20 participants each and require pre-registration. Check out our leaders guide for more details on specific activities in each area, including the Webelos Outback and Arrow of Light Adventure programs, and the camp schedule.
