THE FOLLOWING CAMPS ARE THE CAMPS THAT MY TROOP HAS EITHER GONE TO OR IS PLANNING ON GOING TO! THIS IS NOT ADVERTISEMENT FOR THEM, BUT INFORMATION ON TROOP 1. HOWEVER IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOME COOL SUMMER CAMPS TO ATTEND THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST!

Camp Ottari

Description -- Camp Ottari is located on rugged, mountainous terrain on the Blue Ridge Scout Reservation near Hiwassee, Virginia. The view from the dining hall overlooking the lake is exceptional. Ottair is not suited for those with severe handicapping conditions, but fans of the camp love its rugged beauty and less crowded atmosphere. Ottari was built in the late 1960s. Ottari offers the same programs as Camp Powhatan on the other side of the reservation, except that the larger lake allows an excellent sailing program and is full of bass and bluegill. A new shower and ampitheater will be constructed this winter.
