We offer many one-week camp programs for kids ages 8-17. These sessions include traditional camp programs, as well as wilderness and equestrian programs.

Our three-day camp programs are for children ages 6-16. These sessions include certain age groups and also ranch camp. These shorter sessions are also perfect for the first-time camper to be introduced to camp before attending a full-week session. There's something for everyone!

Grizzly Camp is extra special because it offers five different sessions, each with its own unique theme. In addition to the activities unique to each week, Scouts can look forward to shooting sports, swimming, and hands-on nature activities at all sessions.
