Camping & Outdoor Program

"A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical training in the meeting room." - BP​

Camping in the Heart of New England Council is a time honored tradition of character development, youth leadership, and adventure. The Council is indebted to the countless volunteers and seasonal camp staff members who make our camp programs possible. Their investment of time, passion, and wisdom, enables us to develop the Leaders of Tomorrow.

Heart of New England Council maintains three camp facilities. We invite you to use the links provided to visit each camp’s website. Each camp offers a unique summer program as well as year-round unit camping opportunities, seasonal camp employment and opportunities for Counselors-In-Training and provisional (coming by yourself) camping.
