Summer Camp

Camp Mattatuck’s Boy Scout summer camp runs six one-week sessions starting in early July and running through mid-August. Scouts can attend with their troops or attend with scouts from other troops through our provisional camping program. Scouts and leaders stay in wall tents in one of our twelve campsites, with come furnished with bunks and mattresses, and three meals are served daily in the Rotary Dining Hall. Mornings and evenings generally consist of instructional and troop activities, while afternoons provide ample opportunities for merit badges. Mixed throughout the day are fun activities such as: Swimming, Boating, Sailing, Rifle, Archery, Shotgun, Fishing, Climbing, Mountain Biking, Geo-caching, and many more.
