2013 Mid-America Council Cub Camps

Camping takes Scouts on exciting adventures into the natural world. They will learn to live with others in the out-of-doors. They will learn to be a good citizen of the outdoors. Camping is fun, and it's good for the mind, body, and spirit. It helps Cub Scouts learn to rely on themselves—on their own skills and knowledge. When Cub Scouts go camping, they gain skills they will use later as a Boy Scout.

This year's theme for Cub Scout Camps is Galactic Trek, and we have lots of exciting opportunities for all Cub Scouts and their families. We recommend that Cubs participate in a spring activity, a week-long day camp in June, overnight camp in July and also an autumn day activity. Scouts love the outdoors and we love to offer fun things for them to do all year long.

Day Camps
Day camp lasts for one day to five days. It's for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts. Day camps are held during the day or early evening. Campers do not stay overnight.

Overnight Resident Camps
At resident camps, Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts camp overnight. Every year, the resident camp has a different theme and different adventures. Examples of themes are Sea Adventure, Space Adventure, Athletes, Knights, Circus Big Top, American Indian Heritage, Folklore, and the World Around Us.

Family Camps
Family camps are overnight camps for more than one Cub Scout pack. You may hear these events called "parent-pal weekends" or "adventure weekends." Each Cub Scout and Webelos Scout camps with a parent or guardian.

Pack Overnighters
Packs on their own can hold overnight campouts for the families in the pack. Cub Scouts' brothers and sisters can go on these pack overnighters. In most cases, each Scout will camp with a parent or guardian. Every young camper is responsible to a specific adult. Reserve space at any of our Mid-America Council Camps for your next overnighter.
Please note: This program is strictly for reserving space at camp, for your family, unit or event and does not allow you to register for any upcoming events that may be held at these camps.

Other Outdoor Opportunities
Fun in the outdoors doesn't have to mean camping! We also have a variety of activities to get your Cub Scouts experiencing the great outdoors and having fun. These activities are generally one day, weekend opportunities. Please click the links below to learn more about each.

Cub Camps will be out of this world!

Camperships
The purpose of the Council campership program is to make summer camp available to deserving Scouts who could not otherwise afford the attendance fees. This program is not intended to provide all of the camp fees. Paying a boy's way to camp is a joint effort of the Troop, the Scout and his family, and the campership program.
