Welcome to Guppy Gulch, a World-Class extreme high adventure camp for scouts, it was featured in Scouting Magazine’s Cool Camps. This summer we are offering eight week-long sessions for our summer camp. We offer one of a kind merit badges with hands on in the morning, extreme water park in the afternoon, and high interest evening activities. All this with tent or cabin camping along with a great meal program.
The word we hear the most from older scouts is PARADISE. It’s what keeps the same troops coming back year after year. We are open to camps, scouts, and crews. Whether you are looking to camp with us for a week, or come as a day camper from another camp, we have it all for you. Come either as a troop, older boys patrol, or by your self as a provisional.
We have attracted scouts from as far as Michigan from the North, South Carolina from the South, Kansas to the West, and international scouts from Japan and Denmark. All with the same message, we will be back. Some have even come back to join our summer staff.

Guppy is the number one scuba designation spot in the mid Atlantic. Our scuba camp offers both the merit badge and PDIC Cretification to a 130 feet. This popular program has its own under water Water-Park with many sunken yachts and large sail boats, two train engines, a school bus, and a plane 80 feet under water. All this in a treated clear blue quarry using the same chemical that the Disney theme parks use.
Aviation can either be taken as a merit badge or as an activity. Campers after take off will take over the flight of the plane flying over Guppy, raising and lowering and steering the plane left and right. We offer other scout merit badges in Chess, Oceangraphy, Life Saving, Motor Boating, Geology, Scuba, and White Water on the Susquehanna River.
Guppy has a fleet on new outboard motor boats for both Motor Boating Merit Badge, and recreational boating. We will also be the first in the state to over a state DNR approved motor boating license, were scouts can use the license back in their own states to drive motor boats and jet skis at home.
We have several programs with kayaking, including white water merit badge and white water activities. Before heading off to the Susquehanna for white water, scouts will practice on our class 5 kayak water slide featured in Scouting Magazine, working on pencil dives and barrow roles.
Guppy offers BSA Snorkeling and tours in snorkeling,exploring under water rock formations and schools of bass, trout, and blue gills. We also have an advanced snorkeling were campers descend and jump off boulders, use zip lines, and water slides in full gear along with night missions.
Our Nationally recognized Scout Water Park like no other is a favorite attraction.
Our water park setting is a tropical paradise with a white sandy beach, real palm trees, clear Caribbean blue waters, with cool afternoon breezes and todays hottest music in the background.
” Excellent program! Continue the focus on fun, and showing the boys some of the more historic games and activities. Mike and Scuba Steve are kindred spirits and tremendous assets to the Council’s team. Their enthusiasm carries over to the boys, and makes this an enjoyable event for all”

We had an AWESOME visit with you last year, so we booked at Guppy Gulch. We’ve never seen anything like this High Adventure program within 100 miles of our troop.
Mike and his staff are GREAT! Looking forward to Week 4 of camp in 2011!
