This summer at the Northern NeXus of Adventure, we have some
very exciting new programs making their way into both camps! In
an effort to amp-up the scouting summer camp experience,
numerous additions are being made to enhance each and every
scout’s week!
At Wah-Tut-Ca, the biggest change will be the addition of the
So-Kee-Tay and Boat World waterfronts. So-Kee-Tay waterfront
will allow scouts to work on both Swimming and Lifesaving merit
badges whenever program is open. Over at boat world, all the
paddle craft will be available during all program hours. Scouts will
also be able to drop in at their leisure to work on the associated
merit badges and sign-offs of each type of boat!
These two waterfronts will allow the third and main waterfront to
remain open for free swim all day as well as allow for the operation
of various sailboats, namely Sunfish, our Catamaran, and the Craig
Ryder.
On top of this incredible new aquatic experience, the NeXus will
also offer mountain boarding this coming summer. Scouts will be
able to go for an exhilarating ride on our very own mountain boarding course, learning the skills necessary to navigate the Blake’s
Hill’s terrain!
At Storer, the newest addition is the Caving Tower at COPE and
Climbing, which will offer Scouts and leaders a new and exciting
challenge the likes of which has never before been seen. Also back
this summer is SCUBA week, where Scouts will work all week to
get their SCUBA certification and the BSA Snorkeling Award.
These Scouts will travel all over the NeXus exploring our ponds
and lakes as they search for landmarks, wrecks, and maybe even
some treasure!
The new and improved Shooting Sports areas will also be fully
utilized for a number of various shooting extravaganzas. For the
first time, Black Powder Rifle shooting will be brought to the NeXus
everyday at Storer’s 16 person rifle range. Tomahawk throwing will
once again be back this year, where our skilled instructors are sure
to make sure all the Scouts hit their mark. As always, we strive to
develop new and exciting program for all the Scouts in the Spirit of
Adventure Council and Beyond.
