Occoneechee Camping
Summer Camp 2009
Occoneechee Council Reservations
Camp Durant, Camp Reeves, Camp Campbell, and the Council Service Center
Information
The Occoneechee Council has, over the last several years, spent over $3 million in improvements at Camp Durant to make it a truly first-class facility for our Scouts. In particular, the addition of a new Aquatic Center, a Handicraft Shelter with pottery kilns, flush toilets and showers in each campsite, and the construction of a Grand Lodge with a modern kitchen and the ability to seat over 700 Scouts at one time are making this camp a state of the art facility. Our Scouts deserve no less. Additional improvements are planned for Camp Durant, Camp Reeves and Camp Campbell. However, these improvements come with increased maintenance costs. In recognition of these costs, we recommend that fees consistent with the need to maintain the camp in a first-class state accompany the use of these improved facilities.
