cabins and a lodge for indoor camping and 12 campsites

your unit camping in the local area. The camp also features
a natural fire bowl, picnic pavilion and chapel area that
make great locations for Troop Courts of Honor, Pack Crossover
Ceremonies and family picnics. In the winter months scouts
can enjoy cross county skiing, sledding and ice fishing
on Horton Lake. While the cabins feature outdoor facilities,
indoor facilities and showers are available at the administration
lodge. Camp Holaka also has a C.O.P.E. course to add to
the excitement of the great outdoors.
