Owasippe Scout Camp, is celebrated for being America’s oldest continuous operating Boy Scout Camp since its establishment in 1911. Located on approximately 4,800 acres adjacent to the Manistee National Forest in Michigan, it offers a variety of outdoor activities, including canoeing, climbing, hiking, and horseback riding. The camp began with a donation of 40 acres and has expanded over the years, providing generations of Scouts with adventure and learning opportunities.

*Prescription medication must be brought in the prescription bottles on “Pack the trailer day”. You may send just a week supply. However, camp does require that it be in the original labeled bottle. Please make sure the bottle is no older than one year if it is a prescription and not expired if it is an over the counter medication.

*Please be certain that inhalers are not expired

*Spending cash : We recommend you send (20) $1 dollar bills. Scouts with shooting sports may spend more and if no shooting sports, they may spend less & will be returned. They also may spend less if you are purchasing the Nap-sack found on the pathway to adventure website. Pathway to Adventure Council - Nap-Sack Care Package

We prefer $1 bills so they don’t spend all their money the first two days. Also, on occasion, we will see money dropped along the trail. An adult will be banker and pass out money on a daily basis in the morning according to what they are going to use that day.

All Scouts & Adults can use the Annual BSA Health and Medical Record form. Please don't wait until the last minute to make your doctors appointment!!
