 Club Camping

Improve your outdoorsmanship and survival skills by coming down to Camp Wyandot for a weekend. Specialists will lead workshops for kids and adults.

Orienteering (map and compass), firebuilding, outdoor cooking, knots and lashing are just a few topics that may be covered. This is a great opportunity for older campers to earn beads and emblems, or complete the requirements for the Outdoor Progression.

The annual Spring Skills Weekend at Camp Wyandot is right around the corner! Participants will enjoy a day of nature study and outdoor living skills everything from simple knotting and knife use/safety to advanced cooking skills and orienteering plus hiking, canoeing and kayaking. The Bird Banders will be at Camp Wyandot to share their craft and educate the campers about the purpose of banding birds. Each group needs to bring their own food supplies for Saturday lunch to cook over an open fire at one of the many fire rings around camp. Trainers will be available during lunch to help inexperienced groups with basic fire building and outdoor cooking. A campfire, complete with s mores and singing will be held on Saturday evening.
