Family Vacation Camp Weekends 2025
What Is...Family Vacation Camp
Family Vacation Camp Weekends are an exciting opportunity for your family to experience the scenic outdoors and fun adventures at the premier Boy Scout camp properties of the Golden Gate Area Council. Family Vacation Camp is a long weekend to hike, swim, enjoy nature, read a book, relax in the shade, or participate in many other exciting activities at a fraction of the cost of a hotel or resort vacation.
Who Can Attend?
The families of anyone registered in the Boy Scouts of America (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venture Scouts, Sea Scouts, Explorer Scouts, and Adult Leaders) may participate. You can bring along friends and relatives to camp with you as well. Family Vacation Camp is intended to provide a quality family atmosphere!
Activities to do...
There are many activities to do at camp. Hiking, swimming, crafts, archery, BB guns, rifle, shotgun, tomahawk-throwing, and horseback riding (Wente), evening ice cream socials, campfires and more! Wente Scout Reservation also offers fishing and boating.
Sleeping Accommodations
You choose your site when you arrive at camp; first-come, first-served. We do not take reservations for specific sites unless your group has 40 or more registered campers.
Other than for RV/Trailer sites, there is NO camping in your vehicle in the parking lot or anywhere else in camp.

Being a Sea Scout is about more than sailing—it's about leadership, teamwork, and pushing boundaries. The Golden Gate Area Council has given me the tools to navigate life’s challenges and discover who I am.
