Join us for Fall Family Camp at Camp Minsi — a relaxed & fun weekend in the Poconos for Packs, Dens or families. Stay overnight Friday-Sunday or join us for just Saturday. Either way, everyone is welcome.
Why your family (or unit) should go
- Get outdoors together and enjoy the crisp fall air in the mountains.
- Explore Camp Minsi — see the sites you’ll use for summer camp, meet staff, and build excitement for next year.
- Flexible format: camp the whole weekend, or come for Saturday only.
- Low cost: great value for families and units.
- Perfect for newer Scouts to experience camp and for seasoned units to recharge.
