The Wilderness Camp
The Wilderness Camp, which was once simply called Wilderness, was on the East side of Jackson Road. Almost all of the rest of the property was the Wilderness Camp, which was adjacent to Wharton State Forest. This area was primarily used for year-round camping by troops, even though some summer camp troops preferred to camp in Wilderness. Those troops participated fully in the summer camp programs, but elected whether or not to eat in the Dining Hall. The Wilderness Camp was ideal for hiking and survival camps. It was used for camporees and training courses. It's lake, Arrow Lake, provided swimming and boating, usually on an individual troop basis.
