Cub Scout Summer Adventure Camp
CAMP KINGSLEY IS “THE COOLEST CAMP IN THE NORTHEAST” AND THE ULTIMATE CUB SCOUT ADVENTURE DESTINATION THIS SUMMER
Ask any Scout of any age about their fondest memories in Scouting and invariably the first thing mentioned will be Summer Camp.
Summer camp at Camp Kingsley is where Cub Scouts learn self-reliance, build character, and create friendships that last a lifetime. Signing up your child or unit for summer resident camp means that your Scout(s) will not miss out on an amazing experience where they learn crucial skills for a successful life.
Camp Kingsley, a residential summer camp for Scouts, located in the Mohawk Valley of New York, is home to over 150 sleep-away campers and more than 25 staff members from across Leatherstocking Council. Our Camp was founded in 1921 and continues to provide an exciting and enriching summer camp experience for Cub Scouts, ages 7-10.
