Ten Mile River Scout Camps

For Scouting America locations, this was pretty good. Well done cabins, nice kitchen and bathrooms, great network of trails. Could be a really cool place for Summer Camp. Laughed at Google's description of it as a B&B though! Bring your own food on a camping trip!

Some of the best memories and most fun as a young boy going to Ten Mile River for two weeks during the summer in August. Completed the One mile swim with my best friend. All with Troop 1, Flushing, N.Y.

For my second summer camp as a Scout in 2011, my troop selected Ten Mile River. We regretted coming to this camp. From the start, we were given a terrible campsite that was so far from the dining hall and the area it was situated in was very rocky and a ton of falls happened as a result of this trek to the hall. This camp has a ton of rude Scouts who don't know the Scout Law very well, especially "loyal, helpful and friendly". One day, it was Crazy Hats Day or Funny Hats Day (name escapes me) and I had bought a clownfish hat to humor everyone, which worked for my troop. A few Scouts from another troop passed by us and said to me "A clownfish hat? What are you? Three?" and they jeered at me. Luckily my Scoutmaster was there to scold them for not being friendly but they laughed and left. I

Great Camp! Had an amazing time. I went on work related program and the experience was great. The camp offers great activities (shotgun shooting, archery, rifle shooting, tomahawk, swimming, etc) that you wouldn’t get to experience any where else while enjoying an authentic camping experience. The staff was great and attentive. I would definitely recommend this camp for teenagers or families who want to get away and enjoy some family time.

I was a Boy Scout back in the late 70's to early 80's. At Ten mile River camp I had the greatest time of my life. Learned how to properly use a bow and arrow, ride a horse, in leather working made my mom a few things. It was truly a different world for an inner city kid like I was. It truly was..."The Best of Times". Rodney E. H.
