Sign up now for Camp Akela. Well, hey partner…you can explore America’s past by living the history that made it great at the 2004 NCAC Day Camp. This year’s theme is Frontier Days. The Wild West offers many surprises at camp this summer so don’t miss the excitement! Imagine being a pioneer or a gold miner, helping lay track for the Transcontinental Railroad, and even tracking wild animals along the desert buttes. The possibilities for day camp are endless…the only thing you need to add to this adventure is YOU! This is a great opportunity for the Scouts to get a head start on their requirements for the next rank and have a lot of fun doing it. CampAkela is open to all ranks Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webs I and II. Activities vary from camp to camp, but usually range from traditional Scouting games and achievement opportunities to archery and BB instruction, crafts, nature study, soccer, fishing, handicrafts, leatherwork, outdoor games and basic camp skills.
