For All Parents
We expect to have approximately 100-120 campers each week, supervised and taught by a team of 36 staff and volunteers.
We’re building a diverse team of dedicated staff ages 16 and older who are focused on delivering a safe and engaging STEM and outdoor learning program.
Our Camp is open to all children regardless of gender identity. Since we are opening this program to the public for the first time, we do not have any historical data to share, but we are happy to share that as a Cub Scout program, we have had both girls and boys attending camp for several summers. Girls are highly encouraged to attend, as we’re dedicated to engaging more young women in STEM and have the female staff to support them!
At this time, yes. We’re committed to keeping children safe, and we’ve found that younger children need more support throughout the day. We’re not equipped to provide high levels of support and rely on parents, guardians, and volunteers to provide this additional support and supervision.
Registration
As part of the registration, you can add multiple kids to the session registration. The registration system is set up to apply the $10 per additional child discount automatically, but if you have problems, you can contact us at camping@colbsa.org
Sorry to hear of the trouble! Any questions about the registration process or trouble with having the discount applied can be sent to camping@colbsa.org, or call us during business hours at (610) 688-6900.
For Parents of Scouts
The STEM Adventure Day Camp is a new STEM and outdoor learning focused program. While it does pay homage to the Camp Garrison’s Cub Scout Day Camp through some of its programming its not strictly a scout camp and is open to the general public.
Things that are staying the same:
STEM Adventure Day Camp still includes outdoor recreational programming such as shooting sports, fishing, and outdoor skills.
Things that are changing:
We’re shifting to a STEM focus where we’ll be exploring new topics each week. We now have a mostly paid camp staff that is trained in their teaching area, supplemented by volunteers.
