This camp started in 1929 and occupies 125 acres of land on "Lake Onway" formerly known as "Jones Pond" (50 acres or more of water). The camp offered swimming, boating, canoeing, and sailing, tent camping, winter cabins, a dining hall and patrol cooking during summer camp.

This camp has operated for 78 years and on March 22, 2007 the Yankee Clipper Council sold it for $2.8 million to the Morman Church. The camp will close in August 2007. Scout Camps are disappearing at an alarming rate as more BSA Councils are merged together and down sized. What a shame to see another camp gone forever!

Greater Lowell District - Cub Day Camp
Held at Camp Paul, on Concord Road in Chelmsford, MA. The Greater Lowell District holds their Cub Scout Day Camp at Camp Paul, but they do not own it. They rent it each summer for one week only (usually the 3rd week in August). The rest of the summer season Camp Paul is a "Special Needs" Camp and not a BSA Camp. Cub Day Camp is for Wolf-Webelos (grades 1-5). Activities offered include, songs, games, skits, arts & crafts, swimming (in a pool), fishing, frog catching, nature study, archery, BB-Guns (BB-Guns are for Webelos Only) and other activities. It is staffed by Volunteer Boy Scouts, Scout Leaders, and the Parents of the boys that are lucky enough to attend. I might add, that I (the Founder and Webmaster of SNE) rate this program very highly, since my son attended it for 5 years in a row. It is one of the best and most popular camps offered to Cub Scout age boys.

Marblehead - Cub Day Camp
This Day Camp is located on the north shore of Marblehead right on the Salem Harbor at Gerry Playground. Throughout the day the boys will particapate at six forty-five minute, fun filled activity areas. The scouts will enjoy a physcial fitness program, a nature area, a sports area, a crafts area, a water activity to keep cool, and the ever popular archery area. The 2000 Cub Scout Summer Day Camp Program will be held July 24 to July 28 and July 31 to August 4. Camp fee without bus transportaion is $80.00 (Early Bird) or $100 (Regular) per scout. Camp fee with bus transportation is $125 (Early Bird) or $145 (Regular) per scout. As an added bonus any adult who volunteers to work on staff for a full week will not have to pay for their son.
