Cub Adventure Camp

Due to the worldwide health crisis the Five Rivers Council has CANCELED this event. Information regarding refunds will be sent out shortly.

2020 is going to be a great summer to be at Camp Gorton. This year we are continuing to improve on last year’s exceptional program, as well as our continual improvement of our facilities. This summer we celebrate 97 summers of Scouting on the shores of Waneta Lake, and are thankful that you have chosen to spend your summer with us. Our camp staff is very enthusiastic and looking forward to helping your Cub Scouts have a safe and fun time at camp this summer.

Den Chiefs at Cub Scout Resident Camp
Den Chiefs are encouraged to come to camp to assist the Pack leadership in ensuring a positive experience
throughout the week. Den Chiefs are Scouts BSA Scouts who stay, but are there to provide support to the Cub Scouts, but are there to provide support to the Cub Scouts. The fee for a Den Chief is $130.00.
Den Chiefs are to stay in their own tent or share a tent with another Den Chief. They are able to participate in
all activities in camp throughout their stay. Den Chiefs are not adult leadership and cannot be counted on as an adult leader at any time. We ask they go through Den Chief Training before attending camp with their Cub Pack.

2020 Summer Camp Deposit & Fees
Reservations for the 2020 season require a $100 deposit. The form and deposit must be received and receipted to hold a reservation. Since site deposits are applied to each year’s camp fees, a new deposit is required to reserve a week every year. All reservations are on a first come, first served basis.

2020 Summer Camp & Payment Schedule
The 2020 Cub Scout Adventure Camp Fees are $230.00 Early Bird Fee, $260 Regular Fee, and $290.00 Late Fee. The Early Bird Fee is available to units who have all their camp money turned into the Scout Shop or online by April 15, 2020 for the early bird fee or June 1, 2020 for the regular fee.

Provisional Reservations – Scouts Not attending camp with Unit
Scouts who wish to attend camp without their unit are usually paired with another pack in camp. Scouts who attend camp provisionally should pay their camp fees individually through the Scout Shop using the Provisional Scout Camp Registration Form. Provisional campers pay the same fees under the same timeline as those attending with their Pack. While this is an option, it is discouraged unless a parent is attending as well.

Camperships can be applied for during the registration process. It is strongly recommended that Unit Leaders enable parent portal. When this is done you will have log-in cards to print and give to your parents. They can then log in and access their Scouts registration, fill out forms and make payments.

Leader Fees
The Leader Fee is $65.00 per Adult per week. We are asking that each adult leader that is in camp for the full week pay the full week fee. If a leader is not attending the entire week of camp, but sharing leadership on a day-today basis, each will be charged $22.00 per 24-hour period. If a unit has a parent or leader visiting camp for less than 24 hours then meal tickets are available for $5.00 Breakfast, $7.00 Lunch, and $10.00 Dinner.

Required Unit Leadership
Units must maintain the minimum two-deep leadership at all times. Each unit must have a minimum number
of adults in camp at all times, two of whom must be over 21 (others must be 18 years of age or older). If a Cub Pack has female Scouts camping, one of the adults must be female leader camping. All adults must be registered in the Boy Scouts of America and have successfully completed Youth Protection Training for adults before attending summer camp. If there are Scouts in the campsite, there needs to be an adult present in the site as well! Anyone staying overnight in camp must provide a medical form to the Camp Medical Officer.
