Ocean to the Redwoods
This tailored adventure is a new program for our council. Join a diverse cohort of 18 campers in a week long, high adventure experience. Curated for the camper who is eager for excitement: backpacking, beach exploration, leadership development, high ropes course, and outdoor survivalist teachings abound.
It's for you if you are outdoor focused, leadership enthused, and looking for an experience not offered at any of our summer camps! If you’ve already earned every badge at camp, this is the next step in your Scouting career. You will walk away with a deeper appreciation of nature, yourself, and your place in the world.
The program will start and end at Camp Royaneh, located in the stunning redwood forest of Cazadero. We will go off property for an overnight backpacking experience, a trip to local tidepools, river excursion, and ropes course activities can all be expected.
