BELGRADE – Camp Bomazeen Director Julie McKenney announced the schedule for the 2022 camp season including two weekends of Scout camp.
“The pandemic kept everyone indoors for a long time,” McKenney said. “What young people are looking for now is a chance to get outside and have fun. At Camp Bomazeen, they will be able to do just that in a safe environment where they not only learn archery, swimming and how to start a cooking fire but also develop citizenship, character and fitness.”
Camp Bomazeen is located on a spectacular beachfront on Great Pond in Maine’s Belgrade Lakes region.
Fun Pack Weekend July 16-17. Bring your family, or your whole Pack or Den, to our tremendously “Fun” Pack Weekends. These are family events that your whole unit can enjoy. From non on Saturday to noon on Sunday, Scouts and parents will participate in sports, archery, waterfront, outdoor skills, nature, BB, and craft rotations.
Cub Scout Day Camp will be held each day from July 25 – 29. The program is open for both boys and girls, Cub Scouts and non-members, currently registered in grades K-4 although those entering 1st grade in the fall must be accompanied by a parent.
“Last summer we ran a pilot program including non-members during Day Camp. We found out that families are eager for a program for the kids like Day Camp. It takes a lot of help to run Day Camp,” McKenney added “so any parent who comes as a Day Camp Den Leader will receive $100 the cost of one child to attend camp.”
Short-term Scout Camp August 12-14 and August 19-21. Hiking, swimming, boating, Scoutcraft and shooting sports are just a few adventures you will have during your stay at camp. This is the program for youth ages 11 through 17. Looking for a longer experience? Attend Camp Hinds in Raymond for a week or more!
Camperships. Money should never be a reason for a youth not to enjoy summer camp. Help us help a kid to get to camp by making a donation to the Pine Tree Council campership fund.
