Come Camp With Us!

Camping and the outdoors are integral to the Scouting movement, providing the tools and the space for the teachings of Scouting come alive.

The Pennsylvania Dutch Council proudly owns and operates two camp properties, one Scouts BSA camp and one Cub Scout camp. Both camps are open year-round, offering Summer Camp programs and off-season rental opportunities.
