This camp, named for its donor, was first opened in 1945. This 800+ acre property is located in the west section of the Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle just 10 miles south of Amarillo on south Washington Street (FM 1541). It is on the Prairie Dog Fork of the Red River.
The camp has 12 campsites. The camp is open year-round for weekend camping. Other camp features include a full dining hall and kitchen, large heated swimming pool, archery and rifle ranges, and all the Scouting skills in nature, Scoutcraft, and handicrafts. The large lake offers canoeing, rowing, and excellent fishing.
Another exciting feature is the Ropes challenge course including low and high elements. A popular attraction is the "swinging bridge" over the lake. A four element Cub world was recently added to the camp including a tepee, a fort, a castle, and pirate ship.
