Day Camp — Heart of America Council

Get ready to step back into time and experience Cub Scout Day Camp and Jurassic Cubs June 15^th - 19^th at the Shawnee Indian Mission! From archery and sling shots to sports and STEM, one summer camp stands out when it comes to preparing kids for life. That camp is Day Camp! If you are interested in supporting the 2020 Cub Scout Day Camp please contact Andrew Boyer.

What is Day Camp?

Available to all Cub Scouts in incoming grades first through fifth
Day Camps are not overnight camps. They involve five days of daytime activities outdoors
Day Camps usually focus on Scouts earning achievements based on nature, cooking, shooting sports, crafts, and most importantly FUN!

Cub Scout Day Camps are distinct from other summer camps in that they prepare younger children for overnight camping by building their outdoor skill sets. So while your Scout may not be ready to venture into the woods for a week of camping, they may be prepared to camp with their pack after a few years of Cub Scout Day Camp.

Adult leadership is critical to having a great camp experience. The Pack must provide leadership and adult supervision for their Cub Scouts who attend Day Camp, plus provide transportation to and from the camps. It is recommended that Packs have at least one registered adult leader attend camp for every five to six Cub Scouts. Just like all Scouting activities, two deep leadership must be followed and Youth Protection Training completed for all adults. Everyone must complete parts A and B of the Annual Health and Medical Record.

Cub Scouts will come to camp each morning for a week to participate in several different activities and then head home at the end of the afternoon. Cubs that attend will: shoot BB guns and bows and arrows; earn Cub Scout Adventure loops; Webelos Adventure pins; cook out, sing songs, learn about nature; build crafts, and play games. If you have not made plans to attend, you should!

What Time Do They Start?

The Shawnee Trails Day Camp is Monday - Friday and starts at 9AM and runs through 3PM, and takes place rain or shine. District leadership will provide a Walking Leader's Guide for your adults, which will have specific schedule of times and programs for the Camp. Day Camp leadership will also provide Walking Leader training in the months of March - May.
