Camp Independence Session Options:

Rookie Camp - A one-night experience, perfect for Tigers and brand-new Scouts with little to no camping experience, Rookie Camp provides a taste of the Camp Independence experience.

• 2023 Rookie Camp - June 17-18 (Sat.-Sun.)

Pack Camp - Perfect for families with multiple Scouts, Pack Camp provides a program for all age groups in the pack at the same time. Age groups will be divided up to receive age-specific programs and activities during the day while getting to participate in campwide programing, campfires, and meals as a whole group. All sessions include an option for Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts to stay and extra day for extra Webelos focused programs such as a hike to one of Heritage Reservation's two Scouts BSA resident camps - Camp Liberty or Camp Freedom.
