(2020) Summer 2020 - Virtual Camp
September 15, 2020
Our 2020 theme of “Under the Big Top” had a unique spin on a traditional circus theme.
This circus was all virtual! Clowns and circus hands made the magic happen and joined over 1,300 Scouts and leaders in a summer of fun in a whole new environment. Opening Campfires, Carnivals, Cooking Classes, and the Grand Finale rounded a week of just clowning around.
