Our Summer Programs

Arrow of Light Camp
The traditional “Cub Scout Camp”, but geared specifically to Arrow of Light Scouts (those entering 5th grade in the fall). This camp takes place at the same time as Scouts BSA camp so that incoming AOL Scouts can see what the future holds. Scouts will work on Advancements specific to their rank, while learning more about Scout Camp.
Scouts BSA Summer Camp
Edward N. Cole Canoe Base is a 1,489 acre piece of wilderness, nestled along the banks of the beautiful Rifle River in Ogemaw County, Michigan. We are one of the premier summer camping destinations for thousands of youth and adult leaders from all over the Midwest for over 50 years. We are owned and operated by the Michigan Crossroads Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
High Adventure
What’s great is that there are High Adventure opportunities close to home, right here in Michigan.
Great Lakes Sailing Adventure
Come set sail aboard Michigan Crossroads Council’s sail training vessel Retriever!
