Winter Camp
Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp
December 27- 31, 2024

- No late adds & no walk-ins - 

Circle Ten Council’s annual Winter Camp at Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp is a special jamboree-style camping event for Scouts BSA Troops, Venturing Crews, and Sea Scout Ships.  It is the largest annual event put on by Circle Ten Council and is staffed by Circle Ten’s Mikanakawa Lodge of the Order of the Arrow.

Units camp jamboree style with multiple units in a single campsite. The chance to make new friends from outside your immediate Scouting circle is one of the key rewards. Food is prepared by each unit in their campsites (with the exception of the optional closing night BBQ).

Boy Troops and Girl Troops MUST each have their own Unit reservation even if they would like to camp together.  Due to the popularity of this camp and the space constraints we have, a spot must be paid for in full to be held.   

Each morning, Scouts can work on merit badges, take part in special living history programs in the Mountain Man, Indian Village and Lumberjack areas, or learn new program skills.  Afternoons offer a wide-range of activities including competitive games, shooting sports, climbing, activities in the living history areas, horseback riding, wood-turning and more!  Evenings include special events like a Native American Pow Wow, Cowboy Action Shoot competition, Star Watch parties, Video Game Tournament, or just relaxing in the campsite around the campfire.
