I always enjoyed going to WSR as a scout. My troop would go every other summer so that says a lot about the programs and the camp. Good range of activities and merit badges available for all level of scouting.
didnt seem like a boy scout camp. paved roads golf carts everywhere. staff did not care about the boys, they just cared about the staff having a good time
Staff seemed to have many intrapersonal problems that affected their overall product of the camp experience. COPE was the only exception. If you want a great COPE and climbing experience, I highly suggest WSR.
After attending many camps around the nation WSR was the very best. The staff is very attentive for such a large camp, and the facilities are excellent. The boys loved their camp experience!
I will say that like every other camop in the nation there are staff that can ruin the expirience for everyone. The facilities are very good with 5 indoor showerhouses and power to almost all of the teaching areas. We offer a full range of on camp and off camp activities, including whitewater rafting down the Ocoee and Nantahala Rivers. They affer one of the largest wariety of merit badges in the entire South East. However with only about 150 staff, we can't give 1000+ campers personal attention.
Very Friendly Competent Staff, starts and ends the season with the same great attitude. Wide range of activities including 60+ merit badges and a seemingly endless string of activities. Good campsites, older but very functional facilities. Great food. Optional order of personalized Troop T's on signing up is a plus. Bring few cars parking is limited, but campsites are full accessible 2 Full time Rangers. Over 20 miles of trails on 1600 acres with gorgeous lake and mountain views in all seasons. Top notch Climbing and aquatics facilities.
