Camp Program

Your summer camp experience will be based out of Camp Pioneer, the premier Scout residentt camp experience in the Adirondacks. In some ways, Massawepie may look like your typical summer camp - we have great core Scout programming and merit badges - from the traditional outdoor skills at Scoutcraft, fun arts and crafts at Handicraft, a great Ecology/Conservation area with all the resources the Adirondacks have to offer. But there are things at Massawepie that are like no other camp:

• Aquatics, both swimming and boating, done on the private, mile-long Massawepie lake. Canoe, kayak, sail, and swim on this jewl of the Adirondacks.
• Shooting Sports at a state-of the art 16-point rifle range and a two-stan Shotgun range
• For first year camper, our Trailblazers program which seemlessley integrates Tenderfoot to First Class advancement, orientation to life at camp, as well as ample opportunity for Scouts to chose merit badges.
• Climbing at our 30-foot artificial rock wall, or our Natural Rock face
• For older socuts, our COPE challenge program, or our provisional Mountain Fox High Adventure program
• ....and so much more!

Resident camp at Camp Pioneer is truly an experience like no other. From first year campers to experienced Scouts, there is something for everyone at Massawepie. Outside of Camp Pioneer, our 3700-acre property offers ample opportunity for outdoor adventure outside of base camp while remaining on property. With , 15 wilderness outposts, eight ponds with great fishing, and 20 miles of trails, there is endless opportunity for adventure!
