COPE incorporates a series of outdoor challenges designed to foster problem solving and teamwork in a group setting. At Baiting Hollow Scout Camp, the focus is on fun filled challenges. Most people find that they can do much more than they initially thought. By the end of the program, participants learn more than they ever expected. All activities are “Challenge by Choice.” Everyone is encouraged by staff and team members, but no one is forced to participate in the activities. BHSC has both a high ropes COPE course and a low COPE course. COPE activities are considered age-appropriate activities for Scouts BSA and Venturing age Scouts. Cub Scouts may NOT participate in COPE activities.
The high course focuses on developing trust, teamwork and self esteem through activities requiring high-intensity communications and leadership. High course activities are designed to “push the envelope” and participant’s comfort zones through various challenges on high course elements.

Cabins
Special notices regarding cabin rentals:
A $200.00 security deposit is required for all weekend cabin rentals. The deposit is to be made in the form of a check made payable to Suffolk County Council and must be submitted by the unit at camp upon check-in. Please be sure that trip leaders are aware of this policy and are prepared to provide a deposit check when checking in at camp. The check will be returned to leaders when checking out of the cabin. Credit or debit cards cannot be accepted as security deposits.
Both the Boathouse and McMorris Lodge are equipped with Central Station fire alarms. Pull stations are present in several locations within each of these buildings. Tampering with or falsely activating these stations is a crime. In the event this occurs, the camp will ask the individual or unit to depart immediately. The unit will be responsible for any fine that may be incurred.
Before departing on Sunday, please check-out at the camp office. If you are departing a cabin, a staff member will do a walk thru of the facility with you before returning your security deposit check.
