2026 SUMMER CAMP!
CAMP KINGSLEY IS “THE COOLEST CAMP IN THE NORTHEAST” AND THE ULTIMATE, CUB SCOUT ADVENTURE DESTINATION THIS SUMMER.
Join us for the “America The Beautiful ” Cub Scout Camp, where you’ll learn archery, complete exciting Scouting challenges and more.
Ask any Scout of any age of their fondest memories in Scouting and undoubtedly the first thing mentioned will be Summer Camp.
Summer camp at Camp Kingsley is where boys and girls 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. Plus, they will have a BLAST!
“The staff was incredible towards the Scouts, and the facilities were great for my Bear Cub! I strongly recommend this camp for any Scout.”
– Jeromy D.
SAME GREAT LOCATION, NEW & EXCITING ADDITIONS
For 2026, Camp Kingsley has continued to improve the Facilities and Program. Our trading post and health lodge are now located inside the Barnes Welcome Center. A new waterfront trail and new mountain bike trails are also just some of the new additions to camp to help ensure that Scouts have an amazing experience.
When Scouts come home from camp, they will be excited to talk about the new friends they made, their adventures in the woods, the songs they sang around the campfire and all the great things they learned. But the most rewarding thing will be seeing the big smile on their faces as they ask if they can go again next year.
