Buckeye Council Day Camps are operated in each district by volunteers. The cost for this year's camp is 65 dollars before the 15th of May for June Day Camp and before June 15th for July Day Camp. After the 15th, the cost is 85 dollars. Camperships are available to those with financial need. The staff is trained and organized by the Day Camp Directors and Program Directors. The camps are inspected and meet National Camp Standards. The Camp Directors and Program Directors are all nationally certified by the National Camp School of the Boy Scouts of America.

Day Camps in the Buckeye Council start on Monday morning of their respective week and conclude Friday afternoon. Several Day Camps, with pools and lifeguards, offer swimming in their program. Archery, BB guns, nature, handicrafts, games, songs, stunts, skits, leatherwork, and fishing are activities the boys have taken part in. The theme and several projects are the same throughout the council.  Each camp director and staff adds it's own unique flair that gives each boy varied opportunities based on the location.  This year the theme is Knights of the Roundtable and new activities will be introduced to enhance that theme.

Packs typically register as units but individual boys may attend any camp through out the council. Each unit is responsible for providing parents (called walkers). Adults are encouraged to volunteer,  to assist dens as they move from activity to activity.
