Wente Summer Camp

Every year we can look forward to Wente Summer Camp! Wente provides scouts new and old a chance to experience an entire week away from home, camping with your buddies and spending each day learning new things in merit badge classes, earning ranks and requirements, and participating in fun activities. You may learn to kayak or canoe, shoot rifles, ride horses, cook something new, build something, or even earn a rank! See the presentation below with all the details about Wente Summer Camp!
