Amazing service from camp master Mike. Kids had a great time snowball fighting and even tried the camp’s geocaching activity. I would recommend having activities planned for your age group but my kids (ages 9-16) had fun.

There are many hiking trails and very good flat camping grounds. You can also backpack 3 miles or so to a camp ground, set camp for the night and head back in the morning.

Best space for Boy and Girl Scout camping. 1400 acres next to Fahnstock Park. New cabins, archery, orienteering, geocaching , well mark 2-3-5-10k trails. Canoes, boats, well stocked fishing. With the disappearing availability of Scout Camps, Durland stands out.
