Dear Scouts, Families, and Friends,

Please join us at Camp Cody this summer. "The best Nationally Accredited Backwoods Camp in the Sierra" lies at 7,260 feet on the shores of Cody Lake in the El Dorado National Forest. When Troop 1 founded Camp Cody in 1937, there was just brush and timberland. Camp Cody is now a rugged backwoods summer camp, boasting a full range of Scouting programs, an active waterfront, and three support lodges.

There are no roads into camp, no soft beds. Each Scout has a real opportunity to camp in the great outdoors, sleeping on the ground in tents. Hiking, fishing, swimming, boating, and rock climbing are just some of the challenges available at Camp Cody.

Experienced cooks offer three meals every day, except for the overnight trip when Scouts go outside Camp. Our Scouts tell us that there is no better food in the mountains. Careful attention to sanitation makes Camp Cody a healthy environment. It's fun, you learn a lot, and you'll have a great time.

If this is your first time to Camp Cody, then be sure to read the Camp Cody Reminders from Stephanie.
