Pipsico might not be able to host a Long-Term Overnight Youth Summer Program this year, but that does not mean you can’t enjoy the awesomeness that is Pipsico Scout Reservation this summer!
Pipsico Summer Recreational/ Family Camping will occur in Camp Lions, one of four year round camps on the Reservation. Camp Lions primarily serves long-term camping with facilities compliant with and in most cases exceeding Boy Scouts of America National Standards. Most prominently, it includes an air conditioned dining hall capable of seating 400 people, a 25 yard swimming pool, central "uni-sex" shower facilities, a health lodge, trading post, activity shelters, a 40 foot high climbing & rappelling tower, shooting sports range, and campsites with water and latrines.

Upon arriving at camp, follow the signs to "Camp Lions". Continue down Lions Drive until you reach the parking lot and proceed to check-in at the Burton Program Center. The Camp Ranger or designated staff will check you in, collect your required information roster, explain the rules, and show you to your campsite.
Depending on your departure date/ time, you will be given specific check-out procedures for your departure. Please ensure that your campsite and any facilities you utilize while visiting the property are left in the same condition, if not better, than what you found them in.
Tidewater Council property reservations that are canceled in advance of 14 days prior to the reservation are transferable; otherwise you will receive a refund, minus a $20 cancellation fee, or the reservation fee, whichever is less. If the reservation is canceled within 14 days, no refund is given, but the reservation is transferable to another rental period within the calendar year.
All facilities and amenities must be left in as good if not better condition then when found. If facilities are not cleaned or amenities left in nonworking order, you will be assessed a cleaning or replacement fee.
