mmhardy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Our Detroit area troop plans on flying in a day early. We noted that Camp Sawyer is available in the mid-keys and wonder if anyone has stayed at this camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokala Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My troop used it for a base camp a few years ago. We were hosting a troop from England and spent 1 week in the Keys. Camp Sawyer is small, maybe 4-5 acres with few trees. There is a large "pole barn" type picnic shelter, a bath/shower house and a building that has A/C and has a room for meetings. Not much else there, including a ranger (he lives off site). There's a dock with a ladder and the Scouts can swim/snorkel as long as your unit has the appropriate life guards/supervision. They can also fish from the shore or dock. We had a large group and had issues with the septic system on the latrine/showers. Had to get the ranger to get it pumped a couple of times while we were there. The 2 troops did a couple of service projects (wired the A/C unit for the building & installed a BBQ grate on the BBQ next to the shelter) during our stay to show our appreciation. You'll have to check with South Florida Council about availability and cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
