Canyon camp

What an amazing place! The staff is super helpful, lots to do for the troops, the food was yummy, pool looked inviting and the trails fun! There is a visitors nite (usually a Wednesday) and volunteers are always welcome to help keep the BSA Camp going!! Absolutely a lovely, peaceful place to learn the "ropes" for life!

What makes a great Scout camp is not the facilities but the staff. The staff is hard to beat anywhere. It rained all but the last day while we were here with our troop. Due to the staff? Despite the weather the boys had a wonderful time anyway. I can't give them a better compliment than that.

The rest of the camp is pretty nice and staff were friendly. But upon arrival the one place they put us was in an area where they told us had flooded and it had piles of rocks everywhere and the rest of the ground was covered in rocks, weeds and walnuts. We made due with what we had and still had a good time. Something really needs to be done to clean up the area. Update: within one day of this review a nice gentleman named Dan from the Blackhawk Council contacted me and we were told that there was a miscommunication and we should have never been placed at that site. Everything was resolved to the troops satisfaction. I am very happy this was fixed so quickly and it could not have gone smoother. Thanks again Dan!

Great camp site for boys. Beautiful scenery. Fun for fishing and just plain running around like capture the flag. Camp sites are nice. Be forwarned poor cell signal. Perfect to take boys offline for the weekend. Forest preserve nearby for extra fishing. Lovely babbling brooks. Love this camp site. Great and friendly management.
