WAKWIB 107 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Cheers to Camp Geiger and the "Mother" Tribe. I was raised on the H. Roe Bartle Reservation. Heart of America Council. 1971-1975 as a camper; entered the Tribe of Mic-O-Say in '75 Worked on Staff 1976-1981 In '81, my staff position required me to attend National Camping School, so I spent a week at Camp Mitigwa, in Iowa. I also went to Philmont in 1977. Now in my "mature years" LOL, I've gone back to the same great camp with the Troop I serve for the last couple of summers, and this summer will spend a session on the staff working with the Outpost program.

AwHeck 10 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I am amazed that most of you seem to go to the same camp every year. Our troop tends to only go to our local council camp about every 2 or 3 years - not that it's not a GREAT camp but to give the boys more experiences and to keep them from getting bored. That being said, here's a list of where my son has gone to camp since joining the troop... I've usually been there for at least a few days and sometimes for the full week: Peaceful Valley Scout Camp - Chris Dobbins (Denver Area Council) Camp Ben Delatour (Longs Peak Council I think) Peaceful Valley again Spanish Peaks Scout Ranch - in Southern Colo but owned by a Kansas council Camp Buffalo Bill - Wyoming and this year we're going back to Peaceful Valley but using their "Eagle Point" camp which is a "design your own" summer camp. At Peaceful Valley you have a choice of Chris Dobbins which is a dining hall camp or Dietler which is patrol cooking or Eagle Point where you can choose to have the camp cook for you or have the patrols cook (or some of each) Ben Delatour and Spanish Peaks were both patrol cooking Buffalo Bill is dining hall The boys seem to enjoy the experience of patrol cooking but, honestly, I haven't seen that be a major deciding factor in which camp to go to. They seem more interested in what merit badges are offered, and the unique offerings of each camp. They'll be meeting in a couple of weeks for the annual planning meeting and I'll find out then where they want to go for next year. Link to post Share on other sites
ahakmc 10 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 WE GO TO THE SAME CAMP EVERY YEAR FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT OUR HONOR SOCIETY IS ONE OF THE BEST AROUND. IT IS STILL GOING STRONG AND HAS OUR OLDER SCOUTS WANTING TO KEEP GOING SO THEY CAN ADVANCE IN SCOUTING AND IN MIC O SAY. OUR COUNCIL CHANGES WHAT MERIT BADGES THEY TEACH EVERY SO OFTEN. ONCE ONE OF OUR KIDS GO TO CAMP THEY USALLY ARE READY TO GO BACK NEXT YEAR. LOOK US UP ON THE INTERNET IF YOU WANT TO AT WWW.PONYEXPRESSBSA.ORG Link to post Share on other sites

ford2244 10 Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Staff (first year CIT) at Camp William Wright (William Wright Scout Reservation) from 1968-1971,in Northern Indiana. Then, staff at Camp Pioneer Trails in Northern Indiana in 1974. Challenging work, lifetime friendships made, many of which still exist. Man, suddenly seems like so long ago, but many memories still fresh. Link to post Share on other sites
