DSN Line 375-4011
The camp in Oberdachstetten, Germnay, which is near Ansbach, is not ready for this summer season. We will be returning to Freedom. Camp Freedom is the council's longest continuing running long-term camp that was established in 1955. The camp is situated in the scenic rolling foothills of the Westerwald mountain range near the small village of Dautphe, 50-KM northwest of Giessen. Camp Freedom is organized under the traditional BSA summer camp approach. All campsites are equipped with two person wall tents, cots, and platforms. Meals are served in our dining facility with the exception of three meals that are prepared in the campsite. A few of the campsites are set aside to accommodate those units desiring to use the patrol method and cook their own meals. All campers should bring camping and personal equipment listed in the Boy Scout Handbook to camp. The camp shares a swimming pool with the local village. The camp has its own climbing tower and a small pond for boating. High Adventure activities such as biking take place off site. There is a central shower house, running water, and flush toilets near campsites. A fully trained and motivated camp staff awaits your unit's arrival. Camp Freedom offers your Scouts the opportunity to work on merit badges including a full program of aquatics, nature, camp craft, and handicraft and field sports. The Accelerated Camping Experience (ACE) program is designed to teach first year campers basic skills needed for advancement. Check in begins at 1300 hours on Sunday (1300-1600) Check out is after Breakfast on Saturday until 1200. Basic camping fee includes food, camp patch, and merit badge instruction (materials for merit badge instruction if needed are an additional cost). The Camp Leaders Guide details additional materials needed for merit badges. |
