Cub World Adventure Camp
During the summer months, Cub World is home to Cub Camp Adventures! and provides a fun and memorable experience for thousands of Cub Scouts. For the rest of the year, the camp serves as a great meeting and camping place for Scout units and other groups, and hosts many exciting events and activities.
Camp Michaels
Camp Michaels located near Union, Kentucky, has been welcoming Scouts from Northern Kentucky and Southwest Ohio since 1944. Throughout its history, the camp’s rustic charm has made it a favorite spot for countless unit camp-outs and events. Additionally, Camp Michaels has been the Dan Beard Council’s primary home for the National Youth Leadership Program (NYLT).
Camp Craig
Camp Craig is part of the Dan Beard Scout Reservation and is a great training facility and for group rentals. The camp borders Camp Friedlander and Cub World and has easy access to both. With many great outdoor program possibilities, Camp Craig is a great place to hold a retreat, a campout, or a conference.
