October 14-16, 2022

Once again Scout Units are invited to join us for our annual Scout Camping Retreat Weekend held at the Ross Dock area of the Palisades Interstate Park near the George Washington Bridge in NJ.

The weekend not only encompasses the opportunity for scouts to camp out, but builds community and includes several retreat sessions for the Scouts to grow in their faith.

Sponsored by the Catholic Committee on Scouting, this weekend is an annual favorite for many of our Units.

The cost for the weekend is $50 for a Hold a Site (30' by 30' area), and $30 per person. The cost covers all Retreat Sessions, a Patch, Lunch and Dinner on Saturday. Units prepare their own Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday Morning.

The Retreat begins by 9:30pm Friday night (most Units eat before arriving) and concludes after cleanup Sunday morning - typically by 10am.

Reserve a Site and Register your Unit below.

PLEASE NOTE
Deadline to Register Your Group and Request a Site is Monday October 10th
