Waterfront, as seen from Camp Blackhawk Dining Hall.

Camp Blackhawk lies on the shores of Big Blue Lake and is rich in tradition, with roots dating back to the early days of Scouting.  So many generations of Scouting footprints have traversed the trails of Blackhawk, that these paths have become firmly embedded in the landscape surrounding Big Blue. 

Blackhawk with its long standing traditions, also has a newer flair with its modern dining hall filled three times a day with Owasippe’s genuine hospitality.

The campsites, whether they be up on the hill overlooking the lake or scattered through the woods, are never far from Big Blue Lake.  The sites have modern amenities, flush toilets and a shower.  Wall tents, set up on platforms with two cots, make up the accommodations, or you can choose to use your own tentage.

Down the beach just a short distance from the waterfront, is the Fossett Sailing Base.  This outpost is available to campers across the reservation.  Besides Sailing, Motor Boating, Water Sports and Lake Tubing are offered here.

The camp offers all of the traditional outdoor programs and a wide selection of merit badges that enhance scouting skills while building experiences that will stay with your Scouts for a lifetime.

Scouts are not confined to Camp Blackhawk when looking for exciting programs.  Cool stuff is happening all over Owasippe.  You may sign up to experience the Diamond O Ranch, Charles Nagel C.O.P.E Base, Flintlock Village and the many other opportunities, across the Reservation.
