The Troop will be attending Summer Camp at Camp Sinoquipe (Fort Littleton, PA) the week of 22-28 June 2025. Camp Sinoquipe is a new camp for us, but looks like very nice camp that is relatively small (maximum of 325 Scouts and adults per week). Like all camps that we looked at, prices continue to climb in 2025. For Camp Sinoquipe, the cost for Scouts is $475 and for Adults is $225. These prices are in line with most camps we looked at. At this point, we have reserved space for 15 adults, 25 boys and 15 girls.
Your registration will not be approved and a spot will not be held until a $50/person deposit is paid to the Troop.
Camp Sinoquipe, nestled in the mountains of Fulton County in south central Pennsylvania hosted by the Shenandoah Area Council consists of 500 picturesque acres, including a 10-acre lake. Sinoquipe offers a traditional Scouts BSA summer camp program where Scouts of all ages are sure to have lots of fun in the outdoors. Additional information is attached.

These funtivities range from field sports, waterfront activities, open ranges, competitions and many more. Events include Aquatic Games, Basketball Games, Kickball, Fishing Tournament, Ga-Ga Ball Tournament, Open Horseshoes, Open Volleyball, Open Waterfront, Patch Design, Trading Card Games, and Shooting Competitions.

High Adventure
For Scouts (age 13+) and leaders looking for something different, the Shenandoah Area Council offers a variety of Adventure Programs and treks at its other camp (Camp Rock Enon, near Winchester, VA). Participants are bussed from Camp Sinoque to Camp Rock Enon on Sunday afternoon and back on Saturday morning. The Scuba PADI Certification program is based out of Camp Sinoquipe.
Space is very limited, so spaces must be reserved by January 15th and if paid in full by then (Jan 15th), you save $75. If you are interested in any of these programs, please discuss with me or your Scoutmaster very soon so we can plan the additional requirements and logistics.
