Frontier camp takes you back in time to live the life of a young Davy Crockett. It allows Scouts, Scouters, and parents to experience life skills and crafts that were common in the early 1800’s. Living in Frontier Camp has an atmosphere and camaraderie different from most traditional base camp experiences.
Participants will enter the 1800’s on Sunday afternoon and experience life as our ancestors knew it until they return to the 21st century on Saturday morning. Each camper will be given a hunting shirt, which will be their uniform for the week. The shirt will be theirs to keep.
The skills taught will include primitive fire building, basic muzzle-loading, blacksmithing, tomahawk/knife throwing, leatherworking, traps & snares, rope making and natural dyeing.
