Tres Ritos, New Mexico

[ggazda]

Hey Scouters,

 

Just wanted to make you aware of a great throwback camp in the mountains of New Mexico. Tres Ritos is located 40 miles south of Taos, NM in the Carson National Forest. Our philosophy is in order to gain happiness you must give it to someone else. We want to make your scout feel like he is in 'heaven for Boy Scouts'. If you want more information please go to www.southplainscouncil.org and click on Summer Camp Leaders guide. Our camp is patrol cooking. We also have a backpacking program called Pecos Packers. While its 110 degrees in Texas, its 70 degrees at TR. We have a few campsites remaining this year. Our weekly attendence will be from 100 to 175 scouts per week, inclding Pecos Packers. If you like a good camper to staff ratio, TR is the place. By the way, Wednesday is a free day for Troops. Ths that you can do some exploring in the area. Taos has mountain biking, rafting, museums, and many other things. Many troops take day hikes to Jacarita Peak. We are flexible so check us out for this summer or keep us in mind for next.
