Thank you for your interest in Camp Kenya '26! Camp will be held at the Savage Wilderness Adventure Camp, three hours outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Savage Wilderness leads the way in Kenyan adventure opportunities providing unique, breathtaking experiences in one of nature's most beautiful environments. Led by an international team of outdoor experts fully trained to provide the highest safety standards; you will cross rivers, plains and plateaus in an extraordinary and unforgettable adventure.

Camp Kenya is open to all youth and leaders who are registered with a Cub Scout Pack, Scouts BSA Troop, Venturing Crew, Sea Scout Ship or Explorer Post. Our Provisional Camper Program ensures Lone Scouts and smaller units can attend Camp Kenya by joining together provisional campers into provisional units. Participants age 11 to 13 require a designated responsible adult to be present at Camp, this may be a parent/guardian or a pre-determined unit leader. 

Families wanting to join in the week can be accommodated in our Family Camping area and experience a family adventure holiday, with meals provided, while their youth participants spend their week in Camp Kenya activities. There are a limited number of Family Camping spots available, and only individuals that have a registrant in one of the Camp programs are eligible to attend as a Family Camp attendee.
