Cubs groups can choose the “Cuboree option” while registering on the Wilderness Challenge website.

Cuboree programming will start Saturday Afternoon at 1:00 pm with a camp wide Grand Howl, followed by three hours of programming activities. Groups are encouraged to set up camp Saturday morning; volunteers will be available on Friday night if groups want to set up Friday. Cub groups need to be self contained bringing their own food and equipment.

Saturday programming starts at 1:30 and will involve groups moving through three one hour activity stations:

Activity Stations:

Axe, knife and saw safety through a series of fun activities. Youth and leaders are encouraged to bring their pocket knives and those dull old group axes.

Other Activities:

Groups can also sign up for special activities which will be offered at various times during the camp. Groups must register in advance for these activities and time slots will be assigned prior to the camp.
