13 – 19 July 2008

The Blue Ridge Mountains Scout Reservation includes Camp Powhatan, Camp Ottari, and 16,000 acres of rugged beauty high in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  It is the site of the council's Boy Scout summer camps, including New River Adventure, High Knoll Trail, Fish Camp, Voyageur Trek, Mountain Man Outpost, Brownsea Island Adventure, Cub Scout Adventure Camp, and traditional merit badge camps. Claytor Lake Aquatics Base and SCUBA camps operate on leased property at nearby Claytor Lake.  A new aquatics base is under construction and scheduled to be open soon.

For over 50 years, the Blue Ridge Mountains Scout Reservation has been a leader among Scout camps, pioneering new and exciting programs, and providing thousands of Scouts and Scouters a positive camping experience.  Thanks to its superior staff and unique ability to provide a quality program for every Scout within a unit, troops from across the nation have made the Blue Ridge Mountains Scout Reservation one of the largest camping programs in the country.

The Blue Ridge Mountains Council sponsors high adventure summer camp opportunities for advanced Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts looking for a challenge.  These programs take place at Claytor Lake Aquatics base, Camp Powhatan, and Camp Ottari.  Unlike regular summer camp sessions, high adventure programs are not merit badge driven.  Though some requirements of merit badges may be earned at these programs, earning merit badges is not the main focus.  Click the links to check out the High Adventure Programs:
