Are you looking for a high adventure camp for this summer, and didn't get
into Philmont? Why don't you consider Boulder Dam Area Council's Camp Del
Webb, located in the Southern Wasatch Mountains neighboring Zion National
Park in southern Utah.
Camp Del Webb will have 2 weeks of camp program this summer and the
facilities are currently being worked on to make this a High Adventure
Outpost Camp. Minimum age for boys will be 13 years old as of January 1,
1996.
Scouts and Scouters who attend Del Webb will enjoy 7 days and 6 nights of
high country camping. Their neighbors will be the deer and elk that are
indigenous to southern Utah. Following the first half-day at base camp,
where you will check in, shake down, and attend the opening campfire, you'll
get a great night's sleep camping at 9,000 feet in the mountains of southern
Utah. The next morning after a great breakfast, you'll hit the trail
accompanied by one of the camp's rangers, and begin a great adventure of
hiking, rappelling, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, mountain biking, black
powder shooting, and much more. Over the course of a week, you'll hike 20-25
miles, and you'll enjoy the excitement and challenge of a high adventure
experience surrounded by the beauty and majesty of southern Utah. The
rappelling course is set up on a 150-foot red sandstone face, and the council
recently purchased 70 new mountain bikes for the mountain biking part of the
trek. This promises to be a great camping experience for older Scouts.
Reservation forms are available for units to sign up for this exciting
adventure. Units will be limited to 12 members per trek. Camp fees are $
199.00 for boys as well as adults.
If you would like more information about Camp Del Webb, and the program
planned for this summer, please contact the Council Camping Director, Paul
Beames, at (702) 736-4366.
