The Trapper Trails Council held it Fourth Annual Family Camp Program this year at Camp Bartlett. This unique program is designed around the Advanced Leadership Programs of Wood Badge, and National Youth Leadership Traiing. While Mom or Dad attends Wood Badge and some Scout age boys attend NYLT (Summit) the rest of the family enjoys a fun filled program for their age group. Families eat meals together and attend a few selected campfire programs with each other but for the most part they have the opportunity to get trained, meet new friends and share new experiences. The entire family catches the Scouting spirit and reconnects with nature. It is very common to hear a youngster tell Mom or Dad "this is better than Disneyland"
The 16 to 18 year old Boys and Girls enjoyed the High Adventure Progam

A special thanks goes out to all of our many Scouters who volunteer their time and talent to help this program work. There is no way this even could happen without great people behind the scenes who work all year to prepare for Family Camp. The Council is forever in their debt. Thank you volunteers. Your footprint will always be remembered by those you have served.
Please join us next year at Camp Bartlett for Wood Badge and Summit with the Family.

I was a participant for the 4th annual family camp (Wood Badge) and it was a wonderful experience. If you are wondering about going to Wood Badge don't hesitate. The staff was wonderful, my kids were taken care of by the great volunteers, and I got to play at camp again as an adult. I went to Bartlett as a boy and hadn't been back since. The camp has great facilities and is in well order. We all came home with "perm-a-dirt" but loved every minute of camp.
I was on Camp Bartlett staff and I helped with the 6-7 year old boys. They were a great bunch and lots of fun!
