Group games, fishing, swimming, crafts and personal time fill their weeks, providing a well-balanced program.
- The program is COA Accredited.

- Chiefs: As authentic, adult role models, chiefs wear many hats – from counselor to friend to teacher. Solid values and strong standards are the backdrop of a chief’s life. Chiefs become deeply involved, daring to change and grow themselves, to help the boys succeed.
