Summer Day & Resident Camps

Camp celebrates our scouts moving into their next ranks as the beginning of the next scout year.  The cost of camp is based on selected experience, campership amount, and credits earned.       

Scouts will be able to choose from a day camp experience or overnight camp experience.  Choosing the right camp experience is a scout to scout decision based on the readiness skills for short-term outdoor living.  

All our scouts should look to finalize their camp plans by March-April time frame.  Medical forms are required for every person (scout or adult) on camp property. Scouts not staying over or staying less then 72 hours are required to fill out Part A & B of the medical form.  All longer stays requires parts A, B, & C.        

Campership forms should be completed and turned in by February-March time frame.  The campership program is an exclusive program for our own unit due to a sizeable donation made for our scouts.  The council manages the program on a yearly basis for scouts attending Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation only. 

Overnight Camping at Hawk Mountain

Tips for a successful and fun time at camp (A dads perspective).

• Microfiber Beach Towel: Available on Amazon for about $20.  Microfiber Beach Towel's are fast drying.  After drying off from the pool or lake you can easily hang these up and have them dry overnight.  A normal terry cloth beach towel will be wet the entire week.

• Paracord: Great for hanging a cloths line in camp to dry your towel, or to cut lines to tie down your tarp, or even hang a line inside your tent to hang things from.  

• 9x12 Tarp: The tents at Hawk Mountain are made canvas and some of them can drip during heavy storms.  A 9x12 Tarp can be put over the outside of the tent to help make sure you have a dry week at camp.  100% optional, you will not get drenched in a tent without one but it is added peace of mind. 

• Thin air mattress or foam pad:  Each tent has two cots.  Depending on your sleep preference the cots can be very firm. I take a small thin air mattress to put on top of the cots.  The cots are 30" W x 84" L.

• Plastic Camp Trunk: Storing your clothing in a plastic trunk will help keep it more organized and most importantly dry.  Sometimes rain water can get in your tent and this ensures a dry place to store your tuff.  The one pictured below is relatively cheap and available at most Walmarts.
