Merit Badges
Camp Sequassen is proud to offer over 75 different merit badges every week during the summer, including several Eagle Scout-required merit badges. Across nine different program areas, our staff are trained to provide the best merit badge instruction.
From Archery to Kayaking, Rifle Shooting to Wilderness Survival, Scouts have the opportunity to practice their skills and try something new during their time at camp.
Open Program Activities
Scouts have time throughout their week to enjoy some of of the activities around camp. Our staff host several events and competitions throughout the week, from the Frisbee Tournament to the Fire Building Challenge, and our facilities are open for Scouts to use.
Whether you want to go for a swim in West Hill Pond, challenge the climbing wall or practice your aim at the rifle range, we have everything for you to have the best week at camp.
