About Camp Blackhawk
CAMP BLACKHAWK lies on the shores of Big Blue Lake and is rich in tradition, with roots dating back to the early days of Scouting. Many generations of Scouts have traversed the trails of Blackhawk creating permanent paths that have become firmly embedded in it’s landscape. The campsites, whether on the hills overlooking the lake or scattered through the woods, are never far from lake. The camp provides wall tents, tent platforms and cots or the unit may choose to use their own tentage. Blackhawk offers a wide selection of activities and merit badges that enhance scouting skills. Whether a scout has their first summer camp experience or is an experienced veteran of Blackhawk, there is an exciting program waiting for them.
