A vesper service is conducted once a week on Sunday, allowing campers to practice the twelfth point of the Scout Law. The camp chaplain runs this non-denominational service.

2010 Flag Ceremonies

Each morning and evening, there will be a camp wide flag ceremony. If you troop wants to perform the daily flag ceremony, please have the Senior Patrol leader schedule a day during the camp wide SPL meeting on Sunday night. Before your troop performs the ceremony, please make sure your Scouts have practiced and know how to show proper respect to the American flag.

2010 Order of the Arrow

The Order of the Arrow is Scouting's brotherhood of honor campers. Our local lodge, Timuquan Lodge 340, was founded in 1946; since then, its customs and traditions have added immeasurably to summer camp in the West Central Florida Council. The Lodge will host a fellowship on Wednesday evening for all Order of the Arrow members. The fellowship is a time for Order of the Arrow members to gather, trade patches, and socialize. All arrowmen are encouraged to bring their sashes to camp to wear to dinner on Wednesday night.

Troop elections for the Order of the Arrow may also be conducted at camp. 

2010 Sports Tournaments/Staff Challenges

During the week troops can sign up for various athletic tournaments, such as basketball, volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, and so on. The schedule for these tournaments is subject to change due to weather or other programming needs. Troops are more than welcome to challenge the camp staff to any of these activities as well.

2010 Troop Swims

Troops may schedule times for troop swims with the Aquatics Director on a first come-first served basis. This is a great way to beat the heat during the summer.
