Camp Pioneer
Outbound Adventure in the Heart of the CascadesScale a mountain peak, raft the rapids, or simply immerse yourself in the wonder and beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Where Grit Grows in the Wild
For a small camp, Pioneer has great outdoor adventure to offer. Located in the scenic Mt. Jefferson Wilderness, this camp is a full-service, true “mountain camp.”
Established in 1936 on Pine Lake in the shadow of Mt. Jefferson, the camp features rowing, canoeing, swimming, fishing, kayaking as well as Scoutcraft skills like cooking and pioneering.
Cascade Rangers
Cascade Rangers is Pioneer’s signature program designed to give older Scouts (14 – 17 years of age) a more challenging outdoor experience. Scouts have the opportunity to plan and launch their adventure right from camp into the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness, hiking through the Eight Lakes Basin, and spending at least two nights out in the wilderness.
