CAMP SOMERS IS NATIONALLY ACCREDITED Camp Somers is accredited by the national Boy Scouts of America.

Come home this year to Camp Somers for another exciting summer camp season. Located on the 1,000-acre Mount Allamuchy Scout Reservation in Stanhope NJ, we have provided Scouts with a terrific summer camp experience for more than 60 years.

Our highly trained and enthusiastic staff prom-ises to provide a memorable experience for every Scout. The Dan Beard program for first year campers gets rave reviews. Our popular programs include all terrain vehicles*, rock climbing, mountain biking, shooting sports, and COPE. Each program gives Scouts opportunities to try something new, and offers them challenges that they would not be able to experience anywhere else!

Camp Somers features an extensive array of merit badges, and our Eagle’s Nest offers Eagle required badges and a computer lab with wi-fi.

All sites have grills and covered pavilions. Reserve your site today!

Dan Beard is our superb first year camper program. Scouts have fun learning and practicing Scout skills needed for Tenderfoot through First Class ranks. They can also work on age appropriate merit badges including

Swimming with an evening at the Camp Wheeler pool.

The Ernest Thomson Seton and Star Track programs are ideal for Scouts who are working toward First Class or Star ranks.

Scouts at least 13 years old can participate in our week-long all terrain vehicle program. This BSA approved* program stresses both safety and fun.

Our extensive challenge course is the site of the COPE program. Learn to climb and rappel on the 48 ft climbing tower. For a real challenge, try your skill on our natural rock face climbing areas. Lots of open climbing time is available for all ages and skill levels.

Mountain biking is fun for both Scouts and leaders. We have daily treks that cater to all skill levels. The Shooting Sports program includes rifle, shotgun, archery and handguns.

Our aquatics area offers merit badges such as Swimming, Lifesaving, Canoeing, Rowing, Kayaking and Small Boat Sailing. Try our kayaks and funyaks, and the popular canoe wars. Be sure to climb the 14 foot tall iceberg.

The Handicraft pavilion features a variety of merit badges in an environment perfect for hands-on creativity.

Challenge the staff daily to sports such as volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, mountain bike polo and kickball.

Scoutcraft offers several merit badges and has something for everyone. Build a gateway, sample some Dutch oven cooking or cross a bridge.

Camp Somers’ themed campfires have some of the best productions found at any Boy Scout camp. They set the stage for a week of related challenges and games, all designed to develop Scout skills and deliver fun!

The Ecology/Conservation lodge offers more than a dozen merit badges, hikes and more. Our STEM area offers science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, and Nova awards.

Adult leaders are invited to participate in all program areas and observe their Scouts at work first-hand. Leaders can relax in our air conditioned Scoutmaster’s lounge, complete with WiFi access and charging stations.

The trading post sells camp souvenirs, merit badge pamphlets, basic camping equipment, snacks, slush puppies, and drinks.

Our Dining Hall serves great food in a beautiful lakeside setting.
