Camp Kern Summer Camp, July 19-25, 2015

Hello Troop 64, This summer we are going to beautiful Camp Kern located at Huntington Lake, one of the most famous sailing lakes in North America. Located 7,000 feet above the San Joaquin Valley in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

About a 5-hour drive from Portola Valley, Camp Kern offers more than a traditional Scout camp experience. Under the guidance of an experienced staff you will enjoy an outstanding program.

Camping in the outdoors is the highlight of the troop’s annual program as Scouts apply the skills they have learned and practiced all year long.  One week at Camp Kern can provide a years’ worth of skill practice and adventure in seven days!  Click here for more information guides, forms, directions.   To watch the video continue reading ->

Along with the great location and staff, Camp Kern offers outstanding camp programs that emphasize the aims and methods of scouting. The intent of the camp program is to build character, increase citizenship, and develop increased physical, mental, and emotional fitness in all campers. To ensure this the program specializes in building self-reliance, advancing others through service oriented activities, strengthening a Scouts belief in the Scout Oath and Law, incorporating the patrol method in all applicable activities, emphasizing the benefits of being out-of-doors through various skills and activities, encouraging positive adult role modeling for the youth campers, while at the same time increasing self-worth and positive identity, devotion to religious ideals, and strengthening leadership skills. Scouts and leaders will experience a myriad of activities that are fun, challenging, and designed to facilitate personal growth. Merit badge courses, free-time elective activities, and special programs will ensure that everyone in your troop is busy having a great time. In addition there is a great horsemanship program.
