STEM Camp: Presented by the STEM committee this Week-long Spring Break special event gives Scouts the opportunity to learn about the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, working hands-on at Alpine Scout Camp.
Climbing Events: With climbing facilities at each GNYC Camp location there is no shortage of opportunities for Scouts to learn this popular skill and emerging sport. Look for all night "Climb the Night Away" events at Alpine Scout Camp.
Shooting Sports Weekends: Some of the most popular and well attended youth events in GNYC Shooting Sports events are held in spring and fall and utilize the many ranges of Ten Mile River Scout Camps.
Raft-o-Rees: Scouts BSA and leaders are invited to camp at TMR and raft 10-miles down the Delaware River. This is an excellent trip for Troops- lots of fun, simple planning, and a high likelihood of a bald eagle sighting!

Get Involved
A short-term camp is any council-organized overnight camping program, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length where the council or its agents provide the staffing and may provide program and food services, and includes camps conducted off council properties. National training courses are subject to the short-term camp requirements, regardless of format or duration.
Planing to run a multi-unit event?
By working together across packs, troops, and crews Scouting district and council events allow us all to come together for shared experiences with the benefit of shared talents, resources, and expertise.
Multi-unit events that include a camp out must complete this Short Term Camping event request. This helps to keep our activities safe, fun, and ensure participants are getting the best of the Scouting program and volunteers have the resources and support they need to run a successful event.
