Program

Camp Alpine offers an Unparalleled Scouting Adventure for every level of scout in three distinct programs choices!

Base Camp

Our Base Camp program is the perfect first step for your new Scouts and a great start to their summer camp experience. Scouts learn all their essential Scout skills, completing multiple requirements while working toward 1st Class, Firem’n and Totin’ Chit, and even earn a merit badge, but most importantly have fun at every turn.

Base Camp Class Selection is Open.

Ascent

Geared for the next step in a Scout’s journey, the Ascent program is merit badge focused, with large blocks for better interaction.  Alpine continues to offer numerous academic and handicraft skills in the “Crafts & Culture” area; scoutcraft and skills in “Outdoor Skills”, exploring nature in “Ecology”, perfecting your aim in “Shooting Sports”, and releasing your inner fish with “Aquatics.” 

Ascent Class Selection is Open.

Summit

The Summit program is our specialty adventure program filled with outdoor adventure for older, more experienced Scouts. We are looking to offer an experience you'll remember for life. WARNING: may include glacial hikes, mountain peak summits, riding rapid waters, or climbing 100 foot cliffs.

Summit Activity Selection is Open.
