This is one of two major summer camps of the Atlanta Area Council, located SE of Atlanta. There are three sub camps: Emmerson, Gordman, & Jamieson. The camp has a swimming pool & large dining hall. One of the major detractions of the camp is the fact that it is the only BSA camp in the USA with a year round BSA Supply Division operated Trading Post. Those kids pay a fortune for everything they need at camp.
