scoutldr Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Camp Chickahominy, near Williamsburg, VA was sold several years ago due to encroaching development. The new camp of the Colonial Virginia Council is Bayport Scout Reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narraticong Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Camp Sakawawin / Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation in New Jersey from 1969 through 1979. Included one year as CIT and two years on Staff. Last six years I have camped with Cubs and OA at D Bar A Scout Reservation in Metamora, Michigan. We will be taking our first year Boy Scout Troop there for a week this summer. Those of us in the Detroit Area Council have been truly blessed with such a great camp! I'm not sure who is more excited about going to summer camp...me or the boys! Camp was always the highlight of my summer. This summer I will be attending the Lutheran Conference at Philmont Training Center. My first trip to Philmont. My first year Scout son will also be going along. My hope is to whet his appetite for a future Trek trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troop210SM Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hi, I know this is an old forum but I thought I would add my .02. Cub Day Camp J. Warren Cutler Naples, N.Y. 1974-77 Camp Massawepie Adironadacks 1978-80, 1982,1984-85 Jamboree 1981 AP Hill Va Philmont Trek Nm 1983 Last year my son went to Summer camp for the first time at Camp Sabbatis our Council camp in the Adirondacks. I am going this year as the Scoutmaster, I can't wait. I remember my father saying the first time he went as an adult at age 39 that when he jumped in for the swim test, he thought he was going to have a heart attack. (he didn't) We'll see if I have the same experience at 41. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
