Come along explorers! It's time to go Into the Wild and explore the jungles of Camp Amikaro!

During this 3-day, 2-night adventure, our campers will spend their days around camp participating in exciting activities and learning from our trained staff. Each night we will conclude the fun with a good ol’ fashioned campfire telling stories and singing songs of our expeditions. 

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 25 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.
