ASM915 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 7 Ranges Scout Reservation Kensington, Ohio Buckeye Council Camp Algonkin (main camp) 25 sites 366 two men tents Only one site open during seven weeks of camp. Camp Calumet (outpost camp) 5 campsites Bring your own tents Can hold around 100 people Camp Akela (WRC) The week our Troop was in Calumet, Akela had two sessions averaging 70 Webelos plus adults per session. Reservation totals: Scout camp - 500-600 Scouts/Scouters per week times 7 weeks = 3500 to 4200 for the summer. Add Akela figuring 100 per week = 700 Webelos. Add 250-300 extra on Friday nights to run the Honors Program times 7 weeks = another 1750-2100. Add Camp Staff of 100. Friday nights ballooned to 900-1000 Scouts/Scouters in camp with the camp and honors staff present. 4200-4900 campers attending summer-camp and WRC for 2007. And this year they dropped 8th week. And this doesn't figure in the 6 Cub Day Camps, around 200-300 per District. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcherven Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Im in Northern Star Council, which is headquartered in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The council includes 21 counties across central Minnesota (to the South Dakota Border) and includes four counties in western Wisconsin. There are over 113,000 scouts in the council. There are eight camp properties owned by the council. Fred C Anderson Scout Camp 260 acres Cub Scout day camp: 14 sessions, about 50 scouts per session 700 scouts total Phillippo Scout Reservation 450 acres Cub Scout resident camp (Camp Akela): 10 sessions, about 223 scouts per session 2230 total Additional night available for Webelos 1 Webelos Day camp: 12 sessions, about 135 scouts per session 1620 scouts total Kiwanis Cub Camp 110 acres Cub Scout resident camp: 14 sessions, about 80 scouts per session 1120 scouts total Additional night available for Webelos 1 Tomahawk Scout Reservation over 2500 acres Boy Scout camp (3 sub camps) over 5500 Boy scouts Webelos 2 resident camp (at 4th sub camp) about 1500 Cub Scouts Stearns Scout Camp over 1200 acres Cub Scout resident camp (Camp Heritage): 10 sessions, about 80 scouts per session 800 scouts total Webelos 2 resident camp: 8 sessions, about 75 scouts per session 600 scouts total Many Point Scout Camp 2400 acres Boy Scout camp (3 sub camps) about 2700 Boy Scouts Rum River 160 acres Eagle Landing 20 acres Looks like the summer programs serve about 8200 Boy Scouts and 8500 Cub Scouts. Several of these camps are used for other camping purposes as well, such as the camporees, Webelos Woods, winter camping, and leader training. So far, I personally have been to five of the properties (Fred C Anderson, Phillippo, Kiwanis, Eagle Landing, and Tomahawk) with my sons. Numbers were found using the camps websites, the online reservations system (last three or four sessions), or personal visits. If you have any questions, Id be happy to answer them or point you to the right resources.

OldGrayOwl Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 CNYS, Could you tell us the name of the camps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNYScouter Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Camp #1 is Camp Woodland. Camp #2 is Sabattis. Camp #3 is Camp Portaferry. I orginally wrote this because our council was going to sell off Camp Portaferry and I was wondering how our camps compared to other scout camps in size. The last few years it had very low attendance but our council did little to promote it. Others suggested we sell Sabattis as it's far from our population base and unaccessable in the winter. It it does draw many OOC units for back country treks into the Adirondacks mountains and for summer camps. Camp Woodland is used for Summer Cub Resident Camp. During the rest of the year between training and unit's camping or in cabins almost every weekend is used. It's been around 75+ years and there is no talk of selling this camp. Last year yt was decided not to sell the camp but they no longer offer a summer camp program. I just have heard rumors that its for sale again.
