Camp Holaka

This makes it a great place to take your unit camping in the local area. The camp also features a natural fire bowl, picnic pavilion and chapel area that make great locations for Troop Courts of Honor, Pack Crossover Ceremonies and family picnics. In the winter months scouts can enjoy cross county skiing, sledding and ice fishing on Horton Lake. While the cabins feature outdoor facilities, indoor facilities and showers are available at the administration lodge. Camp Holaka also has a C.O.P.E. course to add to the excitement of the great outdoors.
