PROGRAMS
We
are proud of the limitless opportunities that abound at Camp
Whitsett. Programs are offered for everyone from
the first year camper to the skilled veteran in the areas of
Aquatics, Field Sports, Handicraft, Nature and Scoutcraft.
Scouts aged 14 and older looking for High Adventure can participate
in activities appropriate to their age, including a demanding
High COPE course. For a High Adventure long-term hiking experience
for scouts 14 and older, consider our Whitsett High Sierra
Trek program. (Call for information.)
Your
summer camp experience at Camp Whitsett is geared to reach
your group in several ways:
FOR
EACH BOY & ADULT: Chances for the scout to
try new things and to receive recognition for what he has
done, i.e., Sentinel
Peak award and the Otter Swim. Opportunity for merit badges
or advancement. For your SPL the opportunity to come to camp
a week early for our Beaver Program. For adults there
are activities and training, i.e. Safe Swim Defense and Youth
Protection.
FOR
BUDDIES: We've made the buddy system more than
just a safety precaution, it's a way boys can learn together
with one or two friends; in areas like Fishing, Swimming,
Boating, etc.
FOR
PATROLS: Activities
that let patrols work together to gain confidence and leadership
skills that will make them a stronger team back home, i.e.
the C.O.P.E. program.
FOR
TROOPS: Recognition
and events to bring Scouts, their buddies, and patrols together
as one unit. In
addition to the above: Evening campfires and games.
TOTAL
CAMP EXPERIENCE: The chance to work with other
troops and to make a contribution to the total camp experience,
i.e., camp wide programs, Scout's Own, campfires and enjoying
meals together.
