On Thursday, April 18, 2019, the Council Executive Board voted unanimously to open the camp for weekend camping as a 'Wilderness Camp', and to hold the property long term.
Council volunteers led by Activities Chairman John Ohlson, have made preparations to welcome Scout Troops to the property in summer 2021.
The remaining camp property includes the archery range, the Bear Bowl, the Nature Lodge, Fruitcake Lodge, Handicrafts Lodge, Twana Lodge, U Lake and the Robbins Lake waterfront.
The property purchased by the DNR and Great Peninsula Conservancy is available for limited use by Scouts, and has a permanent conservation easement, and will never be commercially developed.
