Each summer, we offer our summer camp program at our two full-service camps: East Camp and West Camp, serving thousands of Scouts from the Northeast Illinois Council and beyond.

Your Unit isn't attending? No problem:
Scouts can attend camp as Provisional Campers, either in a staff-led unit or by being hosted by another Troop or Crew. It’s also a great way to add a second (or third!) week at a reduced fee.
If you are a registered adult leader interested in helping lead a provisional unit or hosting Provisional Scouts during your troop's week at camp, please get in touch with our council staff.
