UPDATE: Due to COVID19, we found it best to reschedule our Beaver Day to a date that is a bit further away from initial public reopenings. The new date will be May 22-24th. Come join us for Memorial Day Weekend! We'd like to celebrate with all of you, our Camp/Scouting friends and family as we prepare Camp for the summer. We'll have safety measures in place to make sure this is run in compliance with any governmental guidelines. This is an ever changing situation we find ourselves in, and we appreciate your understanding. Should we find that we are not able to open Camp for May 22nd - we'll update you as soon as we know. This is a FREE weekend, and you're more than welcome to stay for the entirety of the weekend or just for the day! We appreciate any help as we prepare Camp for an unprecedented summer.
This free weekend of camping is an opportunity to visit Trexler Scout Reservation even earlier!
From May 22-24th, troops converge at camp for a weekend of fun, camp projects, and fellowship. Camp setup is a MASSIVE undertaking, and we'd love your help.
In preparation for the upcoming season, sites will be cleaned, prepped, and tents canvassed. Program and facilities will be brought out and set up for the summer season. In the afternoon we’ll open the program areas around Camp for Scouts to enjoy.
Friday night, beginning at 6:00pm, will be check in at the Dining Hall. (though your troop may check in after 6 as well) Cots and tents will be in your site's shed, available for setup.
At 9pm there will be a Leader's Meeting for any leaders/SPLs. At that time, jobs will be discussed and assigned per troop for Saturday morning. Most tasks will be completed by lunch on Saturday, which will be provided for you. Program areas will open at approximately 2pm for the enjoyment of all Beaver Day participants.
We are in need of as many units with leaders as possible including, but not limited to, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, painters, chimney sweeps, and anybody else who loves to help or finds themselves handy.
Site selection for Beaver Day is on a first come, first served basis.
