A Winter Wonderland
Embrace the beauty of winter with a camping experience like no other! Whether you choose the spacious Aubrey Watzek Lodge at Mt. Hood or the cozy Cabins at Camp Baldwin, winter camping promises an unforgettable mix of outdoor fun and warm comfort. Explore snow-covered trails, build shelters, sled, and snowshoe by day, then settle in by the fire or relax in a heated cabin at night, where you can swap stories with fellow campers.
Winter camping offers the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility for Scouts, as they discover new skills, bond with their friends, and experience the wonders of nature’s quiet beauty in a whole new season. So, bundle up and embark on this winter getaway filled with discovery and memories that will last a lifetime.
