Pack 1383 Summer Camps

Camp Rock Enon

Gore, VA

Date TBD
(Current Tigers and Wolfs)

Camp Rock Enon is gearing up for a fun week during June 26th - July 1st, 2005 during Cub Resident Camp. The theme "Adventures in Space" promises to be a fun filled week of fun activities such as crafts, games, swimming, archery, hiking, BB guns shooting, and much more.

The new format this year has the Wolves and Bears coming in on Sunday, June 26th and staying until after lunch on Wednesday, June 29th. the Webelos will stay for a week of camp coming in on June 26th and staying until July 1st.

Our mission is; to strengthen dens and packs by introducing Cub Scouts and Webelos to outdoor skills, thus insuring the overall enhancement of Cub Scout/Webelos goals, including citizenship, character development, conservation, and achievement.

Resident camp is a special long-term activity for the Cub Scouts and Webelos that provides excellent transition from Cub Scout program and Day Camp to the Boy Scout Program and traditional Boy Scout Summer Camp. As the best of both worlds it gets the Scouts used to spending multiple nights in the woods while providing a well structured program full of super activities to keep them busy. In other words it takes the best ingredients of Day Camp and adds to it some of the spices of the Boy Scout program to create a special opportunity for Cub Scouts and Webelos.
