Camp Whiting is the Troop 63 camp in Woodbridge. Boy Scouts from our troop and other local troops come to the camp to stay for a weekend and go on hikes to the Judges Cave, or on the trails back behind our camp. The camp has a cabin and a couple lean-tos for the boys to stay in. There is also a big field down at the bottom of the hill where we set up tents.
Much of our Troop's legacy is reflected in the history of our own camp and the dedicated fathers who built it. In 1963 our first camp "Camp Schulz" was established on land donated by Mr. Schulz of Woodbridge. The camp centered around a 30 x 30 solid oak cabin and took Charlie Whiting, Ernie Trowbridge, Don Schultz, Mac Engstrom, Rupert Thomas, John Reynolds and many other dedicated Dad's working weekends nearly three years to build.
The camp was moved to it's current location off Litchfield Turnpike in Woodbridge in 1978 and renamed Camp Whiting after the Troop founder and chief cabin builder. Camp Whiting features a large open field for tent camping and field activities as well as two Adirondack Lean-To's and a main cabin complete with fireplace and pot belly stove. There is also a large pavilion with picnic tables and a large fire ring for campfires and ceremonies. The camp lies between two blue trails which run through the Bishop estate and along the base of West Rock.
