Adult-only Scout camp this weekend

Posted

Reconnect. Rewind. Rekindle.

 

July 18 – 20 | Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation

 

Campfires, canoes and camaraderie — remember those days? This summer, the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation is turning back time with a one-of-a-kind adult-exclusive weekend designed especially for past and present Scouters. Whether you’re looking to relive old memories or make brand new ones, this all-in-good-fun retreat offers the full Scouting experience — minus the youth supervision.

 

And here’s the best part: it’s all for a good cause. Proceeds go directly toward building brand-new shower and toilet facilities at the camp.

 

What’s in Store?

 

Whether you’re itching to hit the climbing tower again or curious to try your hand at drone building, this weekend is packed with classic and cutting-edge activities.

 

All activities are designed for adults, with the option to tailor your experience across four blocks of fun:

•Single Block Favorites: Archery, canoeing, disc golf, rifle range, zipline, kayaking, paddleboarding and more.

•Multi-Block Adventures: Blacksmithing, woodworking, jet skiing, sailing or building and flying drones.

 

Prefer a more relaxed pace? Try fishing from the shore, diving into the camp’s pool or enjoying Happy Hour on the Invention Lab patio.
