Summer camp opportunities include eight local day camping experiences for Cub Scout-aged boys entering grades 2-5 and resident camp at Camp Carpenter's Cub World in Manchester for the same age group. Weekend programs for families with Cub Scouts are also available at Camp Carpenter.

Camp truly is the highlight of the cubscouting experience for many boys. Either Day Camp, Overnight Camp, or even Family Camping, the boys learn alot and have a great time.

While I leave the decision on what type of camp to send your son to up to you, I recommend that your son go to at least one of the camps.

Below I've compiled some information about the various forms of camping available. If you have any questions please contact me anytime. My email address is afitzgib@comcast.net and my phone numbers are h:603-595-7966 and c:603-765-4330.

Remember that cost should not elimate your son from going to camp. If you need financial assistance please let me know and I will work with you to provide your son a way to camp.

Happy Camping,

Camp Carpenter Cub World - Resident (Overnight) Camp

Camp Carpenter, located in Manchester, NH, is the home of Daniel Webster Council's Cub World. The Daniel Webster Council offers first-class resident camping opportunities to Cub Scout-age boys (entering grades 2-5 in September). 

Resident camp is held in eight five-day sessions at Camp Carpenter Cub World.  Boys may attend resident camp with their pack (this is called chartered camping) or individually (this is called provisional camping).  Check with your pack's leaders to see which week your pack is attending resident camp and sign-up through your pack's camp coordinator.  If your pack is attending on a week when your son can't go or if your pack isn't attending, you may register him as a provisional camper.

Camp Carpenter is also the home of Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum and Max I. Silber Library. Camp Carpenter is used by Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Explorers throughout the year for camping, training and many other activities. Off-season (non-summer) reservations for use of the camp can be made through the Daniel Webster Council Service Center.

When: Week 4 - July 13-17 as a Pack / any other week as provisional scout.

This program, which runs Monday through Friday, offers a fun-filled week of challenging Cub Scout activities, exciting adventures and new friendships.   Opening ceremonies start the day at 9:00 AM and camp closes at 4:00 PM.

Cub Scouts will participate in many types of activities including water activities, archery, BBs, field sports, nature, arts and crafts, Scout skills, and a variety of other events. All areas (especially archery, BBs and water activities) place a special emphasis on safety procedures. Each week has a Family Day complete with awards and a campfire or ceremony in the afternoon.  Cub Scouts may register for any day camp session, regardless of which district they live in.
