Reason #40 we love our Camp is the Flag Field. The flag ceremony, the circle of troops, the songs, and yes...the announcements (you know you're singing it in your head!). Whether you're there to start your day, take a break, end your day or play a game, you know you can always count on the flag field to be the center of the action.

Reason #39 we love our Camp is its rich history. Take few minutes (or more) to walk through the museum at Camp. Look at the maps, old uniforms and photos and really take in this history that you are now a part of. Making History at camp is real. What is your favorite find in the museum?

Reason #37 we love our Camp is Bad Axe Lake. Whether you are fishing, sailing on the sunfish, jumping on the trampoline or just listening to the loons, you can't argue that Bad Axe Lake is amazing.

This weekend marked my last one at Camp Wilderness, and my heart is so full… and a little broken at the same time.

This place has been more than just a camp to me—it’s been a home. A place filled with laughter, growth, challenges, and so many unforgettable moments. The Scouts and leaders who pass through here each year are what make it truly special. Watching you grow, lead, and find your place in the outdoors has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

To the staff and volunteers—there are no words big enough. You give your time, your energy, your hearts, and so much of yourselves to make this place what it is. You are the magic behind Camp Wilderness, and I am endlessly grateful to have been part of this team.

Thank you to everyone who came to my going away party. I felt so loved and so lucky to be surrounded by this community one more time.

While this chapter is closing, I’m not going far. Park Rapids is still home, and I’m so excited to continue supporting Camp Wilderness in new ways—just from a different trailhead.

Never forget—Camp Wilderness isn’t just a place. It’s your home. It’s your camp. And it’s the people who fill it with life that make it unforgettable.

See you on the trail 🤍

Reason #36 we love our Camp is the Welcome Sign. It's hard to explain the feeling of turning off the pavement and passing the Camp Wilderness welcome sign. Driving down the gravel and through the trees, watching for the next sign with the Scout Law can only be described as coming home.

Reason #35 we love our Camp is Metalwork at Scoutcraft. It's fire, it's metal, it's just magic! Metalwork is more than a warm place on those cool Camp days - it's your chance to go back in time and imagine what you could make or maybe it even "sparks" your artistic side. Most of all, it's something most of us only get to experience at Camp.
