An amazing experience! Great Scout Camp to take your Pack or Troop for their next experience. Situated just off the Appalachian Trail, this camp just has it all. "It's Always Sunny at Beautiful Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation!"
My son and I discover something new every time we come here. Adventure Day is fun but making it a camping trip will allow you to relax and enjoy more of the nature around here.
Our Boy Scout Troop enjoyed our annual Winter Camp at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. Although there was no staff on hand and program areas were closed an exploration of the camp revealed a delightful lake, a COPE course challenge area (including zip lines), a large dining hall and a well stocked Trading Post. The cabin we stayed in was typical for a BSA camp, cinder block construction with bunk beds lining a central dining area. The small wood stove in the corner was a challenge for the fire building skills of the younger Scouts but was more than adequately heating the single floor, one room structure an hour or so after ignition. The only drawback was the unfortunate placement of the smoke detector near the kitchen stove, causing the need for open windows during the morning while the boys fried three pounds of bacon for breakfast. The placement of the refrigerator next to the oven was also an inefficient, if quieter, choice than the smoke detectors. Carrying water from the pool area to the cabin was a great team building exercise for a few of the Troop members, especially after a winter water battle brought home the Boy Scout motto, "Be prepared". Bring dry clothes to change into.
Great camp! Everyone should do a week or weekend of camping here. Add to your Pack/Troops bucket list.
