About the provider
The leadership team includes Kollen Kellner, Camp Director; Celina Smith, Council Program Support Representative; and Mydasia Zipperer, Camp Program Director. Bay-Lakes Council Camps meet and exceed standards set by the Boy Scouts of America, the American Canoe Association, and the National Rifle Association, and Gardner Dam Adventure Base receives annual accreditation as a Cub Scout Resident Camp. The mission is to engage guests by delivering quality, innovative, and “Life on the Edge” experiences that support the mission of the Bay-Lakes Council.
All youth in attendance must be registered members of a Cub Scout Pack, in a Webelos or Arrow of Light Den. No youth age 10 or older who have crossed over into a Scouts BSA Troop are permitted to camp with the Cub Scouts except Registered Den Chiefs. No younger siblings are permitted to attend. Adults who are not the parent or legal guardian may attend summer camp only if they become a registered adult leader within the same pack and complete Youth Protection Training and background check prior to attending camp.
