Winter Camping
Experience the joy of winter —where adventure meets cozy firesides.
A Winter Wonderland
Choose between our cozy Winter Cabins or the expansive Winter Lodge, both offering the perfect winter escape. At Camp Baldwin, enjoy heated cabins with hot showers, potable water. Embark on snowshoeing adventures, tackle the Snow Sports Merit Badge, or try your hand at igloo building. For a larger group experience, the Winter Lodge near Mount Hood features four industrial kitchens, a massive fireplace, a common area for indoor activities, and a tubing hill with several runs just outside. Perfect for an unforgettable winter adventure!

Winter Cabin
Camp Baldwin Cabins
Reserve our heated cabins, go snowshoeing (Snow Sports Merit Badge, anyone!), build igloos and have a blast! You will also have hot showers, flushing toilets, potable water and you can even rent the dining hall for extra meeting space.
Reservations
Winter Cabin reservations are part of our Camp Property offerings and not classified as events. Camp reservations, including those for cabins at Camp Baldwin, are available year-round.
Lodge service days
Help us prepare the lodges for winter! Each season, we have essential tasks such as loading firewood into storage and thoroughly cleaning the buildings to ensure they’re ready for winter use. Units that participate in these scheduled service days will receive early access to secure their preferred winter dates. Join us in making the lodges winter-ready!

Impact for Generations.
Prepared for Life.
This is more than a motto. It is a manifesto. It is our promise to the community and to every parent and child who Scouts with us. By Scouting in the Cascade Pacific Council (CPC) of Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America), every youth can learn to make an impact on the world around them and be more prepared for career and life.
