Camp Kikthawenund

Fun and excitement rule at Camp Kikthawenund. During the summer, the camp hosts Adventure Camp, our four-day, three-night resident camp for Cub Scouts. This means that there are many great Cub Scout program areas for your group to use during the rest of the year. The 230-acre camp, located 20 minutes north of Noblesville, plays host to Boy Scout units, community groups, private parties, and corporate meetings.

The beautiful, year-round Steak n Shake Dining Hall can easily accommodate 400 for meals and is a popular spot for weddings, rehearsals and receptions. There are three year-round cabins that each sleep 24. Ten primitive campsites with shelters and heated central restrooms/showers are available for use after summer camp. Fun program sites such as the pool, Fort Miami, Eldon Williams TAC Tree House, Western Town Shelters, Indian Village and the Inlow Riverboat Shelter can each be rented for use, as well.
