WaterFront -
At the Waterfront, our goal as a staff is for everyone to be comfortable in and on the water. Our aquatics staff members are rigorously trained to ensure participant safety, learning, and — most importantly — fun! |
Nature -
Our Nature staff is always on the prowl looking for the next interesting animal, plant, tree, Scout, cloud, piece of bark, or even rock in the woods of Mattatuck. Feel free to visit them at any time throughout the course of your day; they are always open and always willing to share their knowledge of their own little corner of the world. |
All Adventure -
All Adventure is focused on delivering a program to your older Scouts that zero’s in on providing them with opportunities to partake in adventures both in and out of camp. It consists of Mountain Biking, Mountain Boarding, BMX, Climbing, COPE and Adventure Treks and strives to create opportunities for your older scouts to see new sights, climb new heights and push themselves to the limits of what they thought they were capable of. With our All Adventure department every day is a new adventure to explore, a new challenge to conquer, and a new puzzle to solve. |
Shooting Sports -
For these program areas, scouts are instructed on the safety of shooting. Scouts by troop must have an annual orientation at each range before they are allowed to use the equipment. On the Archery Range, scouts are shown the proper and safe use of archery equipment. Standard targets as well as action archery and our field course with 3D targets present challenges to scouts and leaders. For a number of reasons, scouts and adults are not allowed to bring any kind of bow or arrow to camp. The .22 caliber rifle range offers 8 bays for scouts to improve their marksmanship. Under NO circumstances can anyone bring firearms or ammunition to camp. Hints from our trained staff will certainly improve a scout's aim. Shotgun shooting and Black Powder will again be offered. These are an older scout program with certain qualification that must be met by scouts and adults alike. The ages are 14 and older for Shotgun and 16 and older for black powder. There is a no charge for using the shotguns, .22 rifles or black powder rifles. |
