AHOY MATEYS!
COME SEEK HIDDEN TREASURE WITH US!

Join us for a Swashbuckling Adventure at Gardner Dam Adventure Base!

Registration Opens with Pack Deposit Phase on Friday, September 25th at 7:00 AM!

Gardner Dam Webelos/AOLs Adventure Camp provides a GREAT 3 night / 3 day OUTDOOR ADVENTURE for Webelos/AOLs, their trusted adults, and leaders on 400 acres of pristine nature along the banks of the Wild Wolf River in Langlade County, Wisconsin!

Reminder: Units will need to provide their own tents.

For Ambush & Big Rock campsites, preference will be given to units which have participants with mobility issues. Camp amenities include a shower house, water and meals served cafeteria style in a dining hall.

The camp program is designed to meet the needs and interests of Webelos and parents; therefore, preparation for adventure belt loops and activity pins are continuous and consistent with the program in the Pack.

The program consists of waterfront, shooting sports (BB Guns/Archery/Slingshots), Nature, Campfires, Chapel, theme related projects and activities, as well as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activities and NOVA awards. Parents will have the opportunity to learn as well with adult activities, training offerings, and whitewater rafting. 

Cub Scout Webelos and AOL Dens can choose a session that fits their schedule, and are encouraged to attend as a group, but any youth/adult can attend any session. Please note: Younger siblings, BSA registered or not, are not permitted to attend.

Sessions are less than 72 hours long, beginning mid-afternoon on "Day 1" (Sun. or Wed.) and ending mid-morning on "Day 4" (Wed. or Sat.). Cub Scouts are encouraged to have a parent attend with them. Families can choose to stay for the whole session or attend partially. The longer you stay, the more opportunities the Cub Scouts have to participate in the fun adventures!
