2013 Program: "The Road to Dunamis"

Join us in the realm of Camp Hinds in our search to join the Knights of Dunamis. You’ll gasp as our mounted staff knights bravely defend the realm and laugh at our court jesters. Strolling performers will entertain & challenge you on your four day quest. Come be enthralled by acrobats, artisans, wizards and minstrels.

Upon their arrival in the realm, Scouts will take the role of knights and prepare to travel to Dunamis! On their travels they will participate in activities including: Scout skills, Crafts, Games, Campfires, Archery, Action Slingshot and Air Rifles (which are only available at Webelos Resident Camp)!

The Webelos resident camp program is designed to work on Webelos advancement pins & activities while promoting Scouting through a theme which is brought to life through our energetic and dedicated staff!

The Camp Program at a Glance

After the initial check in is complete the fun begins... Following a medical & swim check, Scouts will spend their first afternoon settling into their first overnight experience! With the help of camp provided guides, Dens will have time to host small activities that will get them comfortable with their campsite and fellow Scouts, ...typically we have a ice breaker craft project that the Scouts start working on and continue to build on throughout the week. The day will round up with the world famous Camp Hinds campfire hosted by our energetic staff and will have lots of skits, songs and cheers!

Day 2 and 3 is where Scouts will start their quest to Dunamis. Dens will spend the mornings and afternoons attending activities that they have signed up for. Activities will range from craft projects, water activities, recreational games, and nature projects, to open shooting....just to name a few! Throughout the week we welcome Scouts and leaders to attend the activities in a theme-related costume! Whether it is just a small accessory or a full costume it will will sure to enhance their week at camp.

How To Go To Camp!

Den Camping
Most Webelos Dens go to summer camp with their own leadership. This is a great way for Scouts to attend summer camp and build lasting relationships, while enjoying camp with their own leadership. Check with your Cubmaster/Den Leader for more information if you are coming with your Den! Don't Forget a $10.00 per person is required to reserve a campsite for your den.

Provisional Camping
A provisional camper is when a youth comes as an individual without his unit. In this case, the Pine Tree Council's camp staff provides leadership. This is a great opportunity to make new friends and to experience some of the Specialty programs. Fill out the 2013 Webelos Registration Form and follow the instructions for sending it in. Please, do not hesitate to contact the Camp Director with any questions! Don't Forget a $10.00 per provisional Scout fee is due with your registration form!

Den Chiefs
Do you have a Boy Scout that works as a den chief with your den? He can come to camp to assist you! Den Chiefs must be Boy Scouts who are currently registered and should be at least two years older than the Webelos that they help counsel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Medical Form Do We Need?
All Campers and Leaders attending camp must have a completed BSA medical form on file with the camp health file while at camp. ALL PARTICIPANTS are REQUIRED TO HAVE PARTS A, B & C! Scouts and Leaders must have a valid physical within 12 months of camp. Click here to download the 2013 Medical Form.

How Are Medications Handled/When Is The Health Lodge Open?
Dr. Donald Burgess, a Pediatrician at SMMC PrimeCare Pediatrics, oversees the camp medical staff. A licensed health officer is in camp, on duty at all times, to handle all medical emergencies. Upon arrival at camp, your son will have a medical recheck during which he will give the Health Officer any prescription medications. These MUST be kept at the Health Lodge for the entire week to be administered by the camp Health Officer. An exception may be made for a limited amount of medications to be carried by the Scouts or adult for life-threatening conditions including; bee-sting kits, nitroglycerin, inhalers and medication specifically prescribed “to be carried at all times” by a physician.

What If My Son Needs To Leave Camp?
Parents/guardians picking up Scouts during the week should do so by checking in at the Administration Building. All Scouts leaving must be signed out by one of their Unit Leaders. A Scout will not be dismissed from camp until one of his Unit Leader's sign him out in the Administration Building. This process lets the Unit and the Camp know WHO picked up the Scout and when the Scout left camp. Our Unit Leaders know the individual situations of each of the Scouts in their care and we depend on them to assist us in this very important area.

Can I Contact My Son?
Scouts enjoy receiving mail from home during their stay at camp. Please write, but don’t call unless it’s an emergency. Remember there is no phone next to your son’s tent! The camp phone is for camp business and emergencies. The camp phone number is 207-655-4878 you can call the Camp Director directly in the evening at 207-651-5266.
