In addition to our summer camping opportunities, we offer a range of other camping opportunities for programmed and open weekend camping. Camp Woodland offer year-round camping opportunities.
At Camp Woodland both cabins and tenting sites are available. Cabins come with bunks and mattresses for all, and a wood stove or fireplace insert and wood. All registrations must be accompanied with payment and made with the camping department at the council office. Also required is a complete roster of both the scouts and adults in camp.
