Grand Canyon Councils sells their Summer Camp

Camp Geronimo (Her run amo)has been sold, along with 10 acres  of land from their Heard Scout Pueblo..  Staffed  there in 64 (jr staff).  and went through my Ordeal at Heard. Always wanted to return,  it was an amazing camp located in Arizona’s Mongollon high country near Payson. As Geronimo was a merit badge camp, my focus on directing high adventure programs kept me away.  Maybe next year, provided they do a lease, might see if a Unit is short on the two deep leadership side of the coin...

The loss of these properties is tragic from a historic, legacy, and conservation standpoint although I get the economic realities. I so hope many of them can remain undeveloped and in some kind of public or resort use.

Geronimo will be open for summer camp in 2022. Sales take a long time :)
