Olmsted at Camp Goshen - Summer Camp 2026
June 21-27, 2026
Scouts and Scouters,
When: Week #1 (June 21-27, 2026)
Where: Olmsted at Camp Goshen
We are heading off to Olmsted at Camp Goshen this year for Summer Camp.
Olmsted offers your fundamental summer camp badges such as Wilderness Survival, Swimming, and Rifle Shooting. Olmsted’s Merit Badge program offers a great deal of diversity with roughly 60 badges offered! The camp also gives Scouts many opportunities to take part in camp-wide activities outside of earning Merit Badges. In addition, Olmsted offers a climate controlled Tech Center where technology related Merit Badges are taught.
Check out the Program - Olmsted at Camp Goshen
What Merit Badges are offered? While the 2026 program is not yet listed, check out the 2025 Scouts BSA Program Guide and Camp Olmsted 2025 Program Schedule to get an idea.
When is Merit Badge registration? March 31, 2026: Merit Badge & Activity Sign Ups open at 7:00pm. All campers that are registered can sign up for sessions.

Ready to start packing?
- Summer Camp Packing List.pdf
- If you don't already have one, get a Rubbermaid Action Packer Storage Container (24 gallon) for storing items that go to camp. We prefer all campers use this particular item to make packing the trailer easier. These can be found at REI, Walmart, online (i.e. Amazon), etc.
Looking forward to a great Camp!
