With more than 50 merit badges and two supplemental programs for your Scouts, you will have the adventure that you will remember for years to come.

 

For young scouts, join the enhanced Canyon Ranger program focusing on First Class Emphasis requirements and a couple merit badges to have a fun-filled week. 

Older scouts and leaders will enjoy the Outdoor Wilderness League (OWL) adventure programs.  The options are nearly endless for you and your scouts.

Woodcutter's Ball 2019: Thank You!

 

Save the date for spring work weekend: May 2, 2020

 

Nearly 100 volunteers gathered for a wonderful Woodcutter's Ball on October 19, 2019. Once again, the Monroe Kiwanis Club sponsored our annual fall event which saw near record turnout for the fall work day. Projects completed ranged from felling trees, roofing the Jamboree Cabin, putting nearly final touches on the brand new Indian Point Trail, and most importantly, cutting wood for the winter season! These projects and a few more were completed due to the generosity of the Monroe Kiwanians, friends of Canyon Camp, and camp staff and alumni. [Read more...]
