Scouts BSA summer camp at Kia Kima is a premier camping experience for your Scouts! Join us in the beautiful Arkansas Ozarks for camping, swimming, climbing, fishing, and so much more. At Kia Kima, Scouts and leaders make memories that last a lifetime! 

There are two camps on Kia Kima Scout Reservation:

Camp Cherokee (open Week 1, June 7-13, and Week 2, June 14-20) offers a small-camp setting centered around the gorgeous John A. Cooper Lake. Troops camping in Cherokee cook their food, which is dispensed from the Commissary. The weekly capacity of Camp Cherokee is 200.

The weekly capacity of Camp Osage is 550.
