This page is dedicated to the greatest scout camp ever! Don't forget to add your camp photos!
Are you ready for a great summer at camp? Camp Lewallen is waiting for you with more activities than you could possibly do in a week.
Since 1936 Camp Lewallen has been a Scouting paradise. Our 580 acres include the Roy Jarvis Dining Hall, the towering Mount Logan, Scoutcraft, nature and voyageur areas. Our Trading Post overlooks the pool for you to relax and have a snack. At the shooting sports area, you will have the chance to shoot a shotgun, .22 rifle and bow and arrow. At Lake Potashnik, you can canoe, row, fish and kayak.
In 2006 we had two new buildings. The Dr. James A. Kinder Medical Lodge and the Jack Ward Memorial Office have just been completed.
We have 10 different campsites, and your troop will camp on one of them.
You'll be able to swim twice a day and earn a few of the 26 different merit badges we offer. We will have campfires, a water carnival, archery and rifle competitions, the Mile Swim and the Order of the Arrow Call-out. You can hike through the woods and through the creek. Keep an eye out for the wildlife, turtles, snakes, raccoons, deer and more.
Monday night has 4 different potential programs to partake in. For the first and second year campers, there is "The Scout Challenge" A scavenger hunt race around the camp. There is also campwide games, this year being kickball. The climbing tower is also open for a Free Climb. And all OA members, after the OA BBQ, are welcome to help build the fire at the lake.
