Good afternoon and welcome to the first edition of Smiley's Spark Notes. This is intended to give you the latest information on everything camping related within the Samoset Council. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at camp@samoset.org.
Webelos Fall Adventure is an excellent opportunity for your Webelos or Arrow of Light Scout to work on advancement while having a fun weekend at camp. Join us at Crystal Lake Scout Reservation on September 22nd as we explore the outdoors, create fun games, and dig in to geological variety that camp holds. Register here today!
Fall Family Fest is a new take on the typical Fall Cub Camp program. We wanted to make the event easier for families to access and attend. This event features activities that are fun for the whole family including pumpkin carving, a trip to the new archery range, and a fun afternoon at Camp Phillips. Register here!
Winter Camp Registration is here! We know you're just as excited as we are for the upcoming season. Registration can be found on the Winter Camp page: http://www.campingisking.com/winter It will formally open on September 1st.
Have you saved your spot for Camp Tesomas in 2024? Battle of the Gods will be an exciting theme featuring Greek and Roman Mythology.

Did you know that you can rent campsites and cabins at Samoset Council properties? While we all know and love Crystal Lake Scout Reservation, we also have Camp Phillips, Flambeau Canoe Base, Four Mile, and Eau Plaine Slopes! Each property has as different aesthetic, but provides a great place for your unit to go camping, have Join Scout events, or even Courts of Honor. We also have campsites available at our Family Camp location in Rhinelander. Rentals are all submitted online and we have a regularly updated calendar available. Take a moment and look through the website here.
As always, if you have any questions regarding camping or our camping programs, please feel free to reach out anytime. In the off-season, the camp phone automatically forwards to Brit Simonson's cell phone number. Email:camp@samoset.org Phone: 715-383-5201.
