Cub Scout Day Camp is a week long day time camp adventure where Cub Scouts experience a bigger part of Scouting. Shooting sports, water activities, games, sports, crafts - and much more! It's all waiting at a Cub Day Camp near you. Day Camps are offered throughout the summer in variouse geographical locations throughout the Hudson Calley Council. These programs run Monday through Friday and offer a fun-filled week of challenging Cub Scout activities, exciting adventures and new friendships.
Cub Scout Day Camp is for boys who will be in the 1st to 5th Grades in the fall of 2010. If your son will be in the 1st grade in the fall of 2010 he musst have an adult partner (not considered volunteer) attending camp with him.

The mission of Cub Scout Day Camp is simple: "have as much fun as possible." Therefore, Day Camp is not intended to be an advancement camp.
