WELCOME TO CAMP SOMERS
Troops - Resident Camping
Come with your troop and enjoy a great week at camp. Participate in all our great programs, work on merit badges and have some fun at camp.
Individuals - Resident Camping
Our Provisional Camp Troop is an overnight program for Scouts who can't go to summer camp with their troop, or just want more weeks at camp. Work on more merit badges, or just have fun at camp in any of our program areas. We provide adult leaders with many years of troop leadership experience. Come for one or more weeks as an individual or with some of your friends.
Trailblazer - Day Camp
Trailblazer Day Camp is a weeklong adventure geared toward first year Boy Scouts moving up from Webelos. Older Scouts are also welcome and they are placed in patrols with experienced Boy Scouts. Have fun in all of the camp program areas. You may also work on Tenderfoot to First Class rank requirements, outdoor skills, and age appropriate merit badges. The program offers new excitement each week. Bus transportation is provided from more than 50 locations throughout Morris, Sussex, and NW Somerset counties. Four weeks are offered Monday-Friday 8:45am until 4:00 pm. Please do not select Merit Badge classes that extend past 4 pm.
