Special Older Scout Programs
Our older scout programs are for the Scout with a few years of camp under their belt who is looking for a little more out of Summer Camp this year. Bert Adams Scout Camp offers separate older scout programs appealing to a variety of interests so there is something for every Scout!
Due to the nature of these programs and the difficulty of the activities, these programs are suggested for Scouts 13 and older or have completed the 8th grade.
Whitewater Challenge (Off Camp)
The ultimate whitewater experience, Whitewater Challenge is for older Scouts who desire a lot of additional river experiences in an independent program. Activities for this week-long adventure include rafting, kayaking and canoeing on rivers in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Activities will include kayak training, whitewater rafting, capsizing, stroke and paddle work, reading rivers, canoe handling skills and paddle skills – such as side slips, eddy turns and peel outs.
Participants will leave Bert Adams Scout Camp on Sunday evening, returning Friday afternoon, and will stay in cabins at the Nantahala Outpost in North Carolina.
All participants must pass the swimmers test at Bert Adams Scout Camp during the current season.
This program is designed for youth. As such, there will be limited availability for adults
The downloadable Whitewater Express Waiver form is required for this “off camp” activity.
