★★★★★Matthew SnyderI'm glad we have such a good camp in council! Partnered with Gardner Dam Camp, diverse options for all scouts of all ages
★★★★★Shana OldenburgThe maple syrup is fantastic
★★★★★Lucas BarkerIt was a very good experience with Boy scout troop and we all had a blast. There is everything at that camp and our campsite was a 30 sec walk to the lake.
★★★★★Joe KloppIncredible experience with my Boys Scout Troop 701. Facilities, staff and Counselors are top notch and the memories will last a lifetime. Highly recommend Bear paw for all activities offered year round
★★★★★Tammi ThurowThis place is amazing! Kids had a great time. Staff was amazing. They handled all of the changes with Covid protocols beautifully. It is, however, not the easiest for those with physical limitations to get around but the staff is great at helping with that too!
