Camp Durant

For generations, Camp Durant has been a place where Scouts unplug, explore the outdoors on 2,400 acres of forests and lakes near Carthage, North Carolina, and make memories that last a lifetime. With beautiful campsites, exciting programs, and endless opportunities for adventure, it’s a place Scouts are proud to call home.

Summer Camp

There’s nothing quite like summer camp at Camp Durant. Spend a week swimming, climbing, learning new skills, and making friends while enjoying comfortable platform tents, an air-conditioned dining hall, as well as the adventure, fun, and traditions that keep Scouts coming back year after year.

Camp Campbell

Located on the shores of Kerr Lake just north of the North Carolina–Virginia border, Camp Campbell offers a rustic, back-to-nature camping experience with waterfront access, primitive campsites, and plenty of room for outdoor adventure.

Camp Reeves

Located near Carthage, North Carolina, Camp Reeves is the more primitive side of the Occoneechee Scout Reservation, featuring open camping areas, wooded campsites, and a peaceful setting perfect for unit camping and outdoor skills development.
