Spring Camp at Camp Wilderness is an exciting, career-focused adventure for Cub Scouts, set to help them explore future possibilities while having fun! The theme, "Spring Into Your Career!", offers a dynamic experience where campers can engage with 50+ interactive career stations in the morning. Each station is designed to give scouts hands-on insight into a variety of professions, from science and engineering to arts and trades. It's a chance to discover new interests, meet professionals, and maybe even find inspiration for a future career path!

In the afternoon, the focus shifts to advancement activities, where Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts of all ranks can work on earning achievements, developing new skills, and advancing in their scouting journey. This unique camp blends career exploration with scouting advancement, creating an inspiring, educational, and fun experience for scouts of all ages.
