About Us
Come to Camp Somers as a troop or as an individual
Troop Resident Camping
Come with your troop and enjoy a great week at camp. Participate in all our great programs, work on merit badges and have some fun at camp.
Individual Resident Camping
Our Camp Troop is an overnight program for Scouts who can’t go to summer camp with their troop or just want more weeks at camp. Work on more merit badges or just have fun at camp in any of our program areas. We provide adult leaders with many years of troop experience. Come for one or more weeks as an individual or with some of your friends. Backwoods Engineering Camp is a specialty camp held in mid August.
Trailblazer Day Camp
Trailblazer Day Camp is a weeklong adventure geared toward first year Boy Scouts moving up from Webelos. Older Scouts are also welcome and they are placed in patrols with experienced Boy Scouts. Have fun in all of the camp program areas. You may also work on Tenderfoot to First Class rank requirements, outdoor skills, and age appropriate merit badges. The program offers new excitement each week. Bus transportation is provided from more than 50 locations throughout Morris, Sussex, and NW Somerset counties. Five sessions are offered Monday-Friday 8:45am until 4:15pm.
