The Transatlantic Council is excited to again offer a great summer camp opportunity for the camp season of Summer 2026. Our great location along the coast of the Adriatic Sea on the Westernmost tip of Croatia boasts wonderful views and warm, clear waters for aquatic fun!  Camp Avantura is a waterfront camping experience on which we can offer our traditional Scouting America summer camp just steps from the beautiful Croatian beachfront. The camp was originally built to serve youth organizations and was designed with youth summer camp programs in mind. The location is right on the waterfront and has one of the most scenic camp dining halls we have ever seen!

The Croatian coastline is renowned for warm water all summer long and clear snorkeling adventures await us! All of our aquatics will take place in the Adriatic Sea so be ready to see some amazing sights while at camp!

Dates for our 2026 camp season are locked in with our host location:

• tentative staff week:19 July through 25 July 2026
• tentative Session 1: July 26 - 1 Aug
• tentative Session 2: Aug 2 - 8 Aug

We will offer Scouts three choices for their week of activities. First, we offer a ‘first year camper’ program (the ACE program) to assist Scouts that are new to BSA programs by accomplishing many requirements towards the Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class ranks along with some merit badge classes. Second, for those more experienced Scouts we will offer and a menu of merit badge classes as well as some extra unique adventure options to spend a productive week at camp while still creating fun memories for our Scouts to grow from! Third, we offer a high adventure fishing week; Scouts that want to spend lots of time fishing will love this week at camp. This includes the opportunity to earn the fishing merit badge,the fish and wildlife management merit badge, the fly fishing merit badge and the BSA Complete Angler Award!
