Important Information about Seven Ranges Summer Camp 2023
The value of the annual summer camp experience is something that each of us know well. It is a value that only grows over time as fun moments become fond memories cherished for a lifetime. We also understand the value this experience represents for families and units as they select what programs and activities their scouts will participate in. Summer camp fees to attend Seven Ranges Scout Reservation in 2023 are rising significantly. The same increased cost of goods we are experiencing in our daily lives will also impact the supplies and resources necessary to deliver the program. Summer camp at Seven Ranges will remain the least expensive in our area for those who pay in full prior to 4/1/23. Its value will continue to last a lifetime. Registration for all Buckeye Council summer camp programs at Seven Ranges Scout Reservation is now open!
