Summer camp is one of the greatest adventures in Scouting. At Camp Horseshoe, each day brings the chance to explore, try new things, and grow alongside your fellow Scouts. For many, the first year at camp feels like stepping into a whole new world: one full of challenges, excitement, and memories that last a lifetime.

First-year Scouts begin in the Trailblazer program, where they learn the essentials of Scouting and connect with new friends from across camp. But the adventure doesn’t stop there. Each Scout has the chance to choose from a wide variety of merit badge classes; whether it’s swimming, archery, climbing, handicrafts, or outdoor skills. Every activity is a chance to discover something new about yourself.

One of the best parts of camp is the independence you gain as you make your way around Horseshoe. From heading off to classes, to keeping your tent in order, to helping with troop duties, you’ll learn responsibility while also having the freedom to explore. Along the way, you’ll compete in camp-wide games, cheer on your fellow scouts, and join hundreds of other Scouts in traditions that make Horseshoe so special.

By the end of the week, Scouts come home with more confidence, new skills, and stories to tell. You’ll walk a little taller, laugh a little louder, and feel a stronger bond with your Troop. Summer camp is more than just a week away. It’s where adventure, friendship, and Scouting truly come alive!
