Camp Overview
Camp Bashore is a 400 acre Boy Scout camp nestled in the foothills of the Blue Mountains of central Pennsylvania. Surrounded by mountains and wilderness, we are in close proximity to the Appalachian Trail, while being only a short drive from major metro areas and attractions such as Lancaster's Amish Country, Hersheypark, PA Renaissance Faire, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, as well as Ski Round Top ski area and Fort Indiantown Gap military reservation.
Founded in 1947, Camp Bashore has earned a reputation for providing one of the Northeast Region's finest summer camp programs. Our camp features miles of hiking trails, a 5.5 acre lake that offers sailing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing, and fishing. We have an Olympic sized swimming pool, Shooting Sports ranges offering Rifle, Shotgun, Archery (3-D and traditional targets- unlike any course you've ever seen!) as well as a COPE course and Indoor Climbing gym! A nearby horse stable affords us the opportunity to offer Horsemanship Merit Badge. We offer programs for first-year Boy Scouts, experienced older Scouts, and even training for Adult Leaders- something for everyone!
We also offer year-round camping opportunities as well. We have three cabins / lodges that can accommodate from 22-40 persons. They are equipped with double bunks & mattresses, propane stove, and are heated with woodstoves (firewood is provided, though re-stocking what you use is welcomed). Water is available from frost-free hydrants. We have two campsites with Adirondack shelters, and many other campsite areas for primitive tent camping. Our Campmaster Corps offers programs to supplement your unit's program such as Rifle and Archery, First Aid, CPR, Cooking, Orienteering and other skills. Some units choose us as a base camp while exploring off-site program opportunities.
