About Owasippe Scout Reservation Program

Owasippe Scout Reservation has program opportunities available to Scouts of all ages and rank.  Whether the Scout has been a member of your unit four weeks or four years, there is a fun and exciting adventure awaiting him or her at Owasippe.  Prior planning is the key to taking advantage of all of the cool stuff there is to do.

While the programs at our two camps are similar, their style is decidedly different.  For example, Camp Wolverine and Camp Blackhawk have a great Aquatics program but Camp Blackhawk swim and boating area is on Big Blue Lake, while Camp Wolverine does their swim program in a large swimming pool in the woods. Boating is done on Lake Wolverine.  All of our aquatic programs are conducted under the watchful eyes of qualified lifeguards and instructors.

The camps offer traditional Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Shooting Sports, and Ecology-Conservation programs with some exciting twists.  A wide selection of merit badges are offered that enhance Scouting skills, while building experiences that will stay with your Scouts for a lifetime.

Scouts are not confined to Blackhawk or Wolverine when looking for exciting program.  Things are happening all over Owasippe Scout Reservation. Sailing, Wall Climbing, C.O.P.E., Horsemanship, Motor Boating, Mountain Biking, ATV program and many other experiences are to be had, across the Reservation.  Learn More about these programs.

program Planning

For over a century, Owasippe Scout Reservation has proudly presented Scouts and Scouters with an exciting summer camp experience.  One of the most wonderful parts of Owasippe is all the fun and adventure provided to Scouts and Scouters from all over the country.  Yet, while fun and adventure is key, the process of planning your trip is a very important step towards maximizing the enjoyment of your stay.  As such, we are prepared to assist leaders, parents, and Scouts in planning the best summer camp experience possible through our online program registration process.

When preparing to use online program registration, be mindful that your Scouts should have time for these three activity areas:

1. Personal Advancement.  This can involve rank advancement offered through the Pathfinder (first‐year camper) program and the many merit badge programs offered at Owasippe.

2. Troop Time.  Owasippe offers plenty of opportunities for your troop to participate in troop programs.

3. Personal Interests.  This could involve attending open programming in the afternoon and evenings including fishing, open boating, rifle shooting, or visiting many of our varied hiking destinations.

Planning your Troop’s program for summer camp is an important part of getting ready for summer camp before you arrive. Visit the Pathway to Adventure Council website for more information and program materials.
