This was an amazing experience and I feel everyone Gould experience it. Our group ranged from 15 to 60s, so tht alone should show that anyone can do it, on top of that we went for the 50 miler. Was a great way for all of us to get closer and if you can deal with the bo of not showering and Poppin a squat here and there you'll have a lot of fun. As you can see from my photos the scenery is nothing but the best.

My Venture crew completed two week-long canoe treks with Floodwood, one in summer 2015 and the most recent one in summer 2016. The staff is excellent and both trips were amazing. In 2016, we were able to complete a total of 50 miles of canoeing, which qualified us for the 50 miler award. It is a life changing experience. We can’t wait to go back!!

Been to Floodwood 3 of the last 4 years. I can attest the boys have found it to be one of the highlights of their scouting experience. A true adventure and character builder. Guides are great, trips are well planned with the Crew making the decisions with excellent guidance from the staff. Hope I get a crew together this summer. YIS - Cliff

I went here as a young man while I was a member of Boy Scouts Troop 379 in Palisades Park NJ. Which is part of the Bergen Council of the Boy Scouts. I spent 2 weeks there in the Summer of 1977. I still cherish the memories of that great place. I learned a lot about life & myself while I was there. Great Times !!!

Have been privileged to take two crews up in 2016 and 2017. The staff is always fantastic, and the scouts come back having learned what they can really accomplish, and grow as leaders. I can't recommend the experience enough, and will be going back every year until my scouts tell me i'm too old :-)

This is the best Boy Scout camp I have attended, and I've had the pleasure of working here for the past 2 summers. It is an amazing experience for anyone who decides to trek here.
