Making Memories for 100+2 Years (Since 1925)
Tahquitz Summer Camp is a one-week overnight camp for Scouts BSA troops at Camp Tahquitz, the Long Beach Area Council’s mountain camp in the San Bernardino Mountains, celebrating 102 summers since 1925. Scouts choose from dozens of merit badges and activities including our heated pool, zip line, climbing, archery, shotgun, and horseback riding. Five sessions run June 20 through July 24, 2027. Scouts pay $695. Camperships are available to all Scouts thank to generous donations to the Long Beach Press Telegrams “Send A Kid to Camp”, program so cost never keeps a Scout home.
