The Harpers Ferry Campout includes hiking, history and whitewater rafting. Scouts can come for the day only on Saturday but are encouraged to stay overnight to strengthen camping and cooking skills. We will be sleeping in troop tents at Camp Manidokan, a camping area and retreat center owned by the Methodist Church. See more info on Harpers Ferry National Park HERE.
