Summer Camp at KMSR

Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation is located on hundreds of acres of wooded terrain in the northwest corner of New Jersey.  Located near the town of Branchville, the camp is surrounded by Stokes State Forest.  The camp includes wooded areas, open fields, and a 50-acre lake that is available for both boating and fishing.

 

Programs for each of the resident camping opportunities are designed to be age- and grade-specific. During their time at camp, the Scouts are provided meals through our full-service dining hall.  They may be given, under adult supervision, the opportunity during the week to prepare a meal over an open campfire in their campsite.
