This program provides a natural bridge from Cub Scouting to many of the activities in Boy Scouting. The boys sleep in tents and spend their days pursuing outdoor skills combined with many fun activities, including aquatics and sports. Nights are spent around the campfire with songs and skits.

Webelos Den Leaders can bring their dens and serve as the Leaders at camp or Webelos parents can bring the Den and serve as Leaders. There must be a minimum of 2 adults per 5 Webelos. Bears must attend with a parent or guardian.

There are 2 three-day sessions for 2002: 7/28-7/31 and 7/31-8/3. Scouts can attend 1 or both sessions.
