Testimonials

Thank you for your amazing support towards my summer camp. This experience has allowed me to learn many new things, as a person and as a Scout. Camp Emerald Bay helped me realize improvements that needed to be made to my leadership. With this, I could properly support my fellow Scouts in the future. For that, I appreciate and thank you for the opportunity to attend camp.

Sincerely, Joey

Dear Camp Emerald Bay,
Thank you for such an amazing week at summer camp. This has been my favorite one so far. The counselors were awesome, the food was consistently delicious. I can’t wait to tell my friends at home my memories here.

I had an absolute blast at camp! This was the last campout I could spend with my best friend and it was the best I’ve been on. I learned a lot about the ocean and leatherworking. We got to canoe across the island and campout on a new beach. Thank you again
