Camp Durant

Adventure gets bigger at summer camp.

Our Older Youth Program is built for Scouts ages 14 and up who are ready to go beyond the traditional camp experience and take their skills to the next level. This action packed week combines outdoor adventure, leadership, challenge, and unforgettable experiences with fellow older Scouts.

Participants may take part in activities such as:
• SUP
• Mountain biking
• Kayaking on the Cape Fear River
• Natural rock climbing at Rocky Face
• Day hiking in Uwharrie
• Cowboy action shooting

This program is designed for Scouts who are confident, active, and ready to fully participate in exciting day trip adventures throughout the week. Scouts will return to camp with their troop each evening, so there is no overnight camping away from camp.

Participants must be classified swimmers to attend.

If your Scout is ready for a summer camp experience filled with adventure, challenge, and memories they will talk about for years, the Older Youth Program is the place to be.

🎃☀️ Summerween at Camp Durant is coming — and this year’s Cub Scout Adventure Camp is shaping up to be one of our best yet.

This year’s program is intentionally designed to give every Cub Scout something to look forward to — especially our older Scouts preparing for their next adventure.

🔥 Introducing Arrow’s Edge
(Designed for rising 5th grade / Arrow of Light Scouts)

This is more than a standard camp rotation schedule. Arrow’s Edge is built to give older Cubs the “next step” experience they’ve been waiting for before crossing into Scouts BSA.

Activities include:
🧗 Climbing tower
🏹 BBs + Archery
🚣 Waterfront activities
🌲 Outdoor skills, ecology, and hands-on challenges

And yes — ALL Cub Scouts will still have access to the ranges.

Whether your Scout is attending their first Cuboree or preparing to bridge into Scouts BSA, Summerween is designed to deliver adventure, fun, and memories they’ll be talking about long after camp ends.

👇 FAQ 👇

What does the schedule look like?
Rotations will be done by den, not pack. We’ll need den-walker volunteers to help keep things running smoothly.

Do we need to bring food?
No. All meals are provided in the dining hall.

Can adults swim with their Scouts?
Yes. You can swim with your Cub Scout in the appropriate swim area based on ability. Safety and the buddy system remain a priority.

Will there be food outside meal times?
The grill and trading post will be open during scheduled hours for snacks, drinks, and extras.
