Beaver Weekend is a unique opportunity for service, fellowship, recreation, and of course camping! Take the opportunity to bring your unit to Camp Minsi for a weekend camping trip to check out the camp and its facilities, meet the staff, participate in open programs, and give back to this beautiful camp through friendly service. This event is completely free!
We will provide your unit with a site, tents, and cots. You can even request to stay in the site you will be staying in during your week of summer camp. Lunch on Saturday will be provided for all who are participating in the weekend. All that we ask in return is that your unit gives a few hours of service to the camp on Saturday. Additionally, Scouts and leaders will have the opportunity to take advantage of several open programs on Saturday afternoon along with a chance to explore the camp, meet the staff and participate in many fun activities.
You can download the preliminary list of service projects planned for Beaver Day right here. If you have any special skills or expertise that may help with any of these projects, or if you have questions about any of the projects, please feel free to contact us prior to Beaver Day.
If your unit decides not to make a full weekend out of the event, you are invited to come up just for the day on Saturday to participate in all the fellowship events, service projects, and other festivities.
The summer camp directors will hold a brief summer camp informational meeting on Saturday afternoon immediately following lunch. This meeting allows the camp staff to answer any questions that unit leaders may have about the summer camp programs and share information that will help you be better prepared for your week at summer camp.
On Saturday evening there will be a Pizza Buffet dinner fundraiser held in the dining hall to benefit Venturing Crew 940, a group that provides service and leadership to Camp Minsi. Cost is $7 per person. The buffet will include a variety of fresh-made pizzas along with a pasta and salad bar.
