This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.

  • Philmont Scout Ranch Boy Scouts of America
    PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA RAYADO TREK – 2021 Some individuals just naturally look for something exciting and out of the ordinary. For them, the enjoyment of the wilderness has special appeal. They aspire to stand on the mountain tops, scanning the peaks and valleys. Are YOU looking for adventure? Then Rayado is for you. On your Rayado Trek you will backpack with Scouts / Venturers from all over the country, and along with them, you will learn to thrive on the unexpected and unexplored. Every day will hold new challenges and opportunities. You will stand on high summits, climb rock faces, hike in the rain, and take the most challenging trails. You will accomplish more than you thought possible. Two Philmont Rangers will help you achieve your dream for adventure. Philmont Scout Ranch is comprised of 140,711 acres (219 square miles) of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rockies. Philmont has over 350 miles of trails throughout the ranch. Philmont ranges from 6,500 feet to 12,441 feet in elevation above sea level. Because of the remote setting and elevation, participants need to be prepared both physically and mentally to handle the challenges of the trek. Philmont experiences a wide variety of weather situations. Participants should be prepared for 100 degree days, 40 degree nights, as well as days of rain and even snow. All this adds to the Philmont experience. Each summer, two sessions are offered. The first session is June 20 thru July 10 with July 10 being your departure day; the second session is July 19 thru August 8 with August 8 being your departure day.
