Belzer Day Camp includes a variety of fun daily activities led by the staff councilors. Activities include BB shooting, archery, daily swimming, rafting, crafts, cooking and other scout related programs. Parents volunteer one day to help drive and chaperone at camp. Pack 175 Scouts stay as a group other than Webelos Scouts, which have a separate more advanced program.

Scouts Bring: Water Bottle, Backpack, Swim suit, towel, sack lunch, drink, rain gear, suntan & insect lotion (no aerosol cans), no open toe shoes, a few dollars for the trading post. What Scouts Wear: Wear shorts and your Pack 175 Camp T-Shirt. Wear older comfortable shoes (closed toe/no open toe sandals) for lots of walking. Wear a hat to shade your head. Do not Bring: Knives, lighters, expensive electronics, anything that you do not want to lose, or anything that you cannot bring to school.
Parents Bring: Their health form, pen, lunch, drink, hat, sunglasses, swim suit if you would like top swim (no 2-piece suits), suntan and insect lotion
Friday Overnight: The Overnight is optional but enjoyed by most. Bring a flashlight, personal items/toiletries, sleeping bags, ground cloth, sleeping mat or cot, insect repellent, your tent with mosquito netting. You can also sign up to use one of the camp tents which are near the campfire but away from the rest of the Pack 175 tents. Sign up and pay fees the week of camp. Fees are typically $7 per person. A form will be sent home on the first day of camp to sign up. The overnight form is due back on Wednesday.
Trading Post: The Trading Post sells ice cream, candy, drinks, camp T-shirts, souvenirs and is open daily so bring a dollar or two daily (optional).

Tag-a-longs can do the same activities as the scouts except for BB shooting, archery and rafting.
