Winter Camp 2026

Welcome to 2026 Winter Camp

We are excited about your Troop attending our 2026 Winter Camp at Camp Edgewood!

Winter Camp is an exciting mix of merit badge classes and activities before the Thanksgiving holiday starting at on November 20 and ends on November 23. This allows units to camp together using the Troop and Patrol method to accomplish their goals under their own leadership. An excellent Camp Staff provides program help, guidance, and supervision in the areas like Wilderness Survival, Nature, Rifle, and Engineering, along with many other specialty merit badge subjects.
