Weekend Camping

Weekend Camping is a fun way to accomplish the goals of your unit’s program and to spend quality time with fellow scouts, friends or family. Within the Longhorn Council, there are a variety of camping opportunities for those looking to get away for the weekend. Whether you’re looking for some solitude from the life’s stresses, or want time to work on advancement, weekend camping can be the trick.

The Longhorn Council has 6 camps available for weekend camping, the Longhorn Activity Center on Basswood Blvd in north Fort Worth, and Lakeview Lodge and Conference Center at Sid Richardson.
