The Young Men Regional Summer Camp is a continuation of the Hudson-Delaware LDS Regional Scout Encampment. The same camp leadership and program directors are returning to run the camp in 2020. Youth and adults will have access to the same outstanding facilities they have enjoyed in past years at Mt. Allamuchy Scout Reservation. Instead of following prescribed merit badge requirements, youth will have some flexibility to set their own goals from these four areas: physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual. Youth are encouraged to select at least one subject from each of these four areas.

Building on 45 years of experience running Scout camps, and with the support of the Church's new youth program, the staff of the Young Men Regional Summer Camp will encourage young men to explore and stretch themselves, while providing all of the familiar classes and activities that youth have grown to love over the years. These include swimming, boating, fishing, ecology, citizenship, technology, Gospel instruction, and many, many other topics.

Camp will run Monday, June 29 through Saturday, July 4, 2020. Please report to the dining hall promptly at your assigned time on Monday morning.
