HEADS-UP! Winter Camp 2025- Dec 27-31 @ TRJ

Circle Ten Council’s annual Winter Camp at Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp is a special jamboree-style camping event for Boy Scout troops, Venturing Crews and Sea Scout Ships. It traditionally has been the largest annual event put on by Circle Ten Council and is staffed by Circle Ten’s Mikanakawa Lodge of the Order of the Arrow.

Winter Camp is more of a Jamboree style event. There will be some merit badges offered, but there are more centers of activities for Scouts to learn and participate beyond merit badge studies.

Units camp jamboree style with multiple units in a single campsite. The chance to make new friends from outside your immediate Scouting circle is one of the key rewards. Food is prepared by each unit in their
campsites.

Each morning, Scouts can:
Work on merit badges (See Program Guide)
Participate in C.O.P.E. (NEW THIS YEAR* for Scouts age 14+)
Take part in special living history programs in the Mountain Man area (14+)
Learn new program skills or participate in a training

Afternoons offer a wide-range of activities including:
ATV experience (*NEW THIS YEAR* – 14+ and certification required)
Competitive games and sports
Range and target activities
Climbing and repelling
Activities in the living history areas – Indian Village, Lumberjack, Mountain Man
Branding
