Camp Chawanakee Opportunities

Camp Chawanakee has celebrated a long standing tradition of offering Scouts and Scouters around the country a premier location to enjoy a quality summer camp program. With all these years behind us Sequoia Council is taking steps to encourage this tradition to continue in the future. If you are interested in helping us keep this great camping tradition please check below for the following options:

• Join our Camp Staff:

  The main purpose of camp is to have the opportunity to provide an place to learn, develop character, and experience new skills and opportunities. One of the most important ways we can offer this is to have a staff that can be great role models for our campers. The kids will remember staff far longer than they'll remember merit badges, the ropes course, or campfire skits. If you are interested in becoming a part of our camp staff and experiencing summer camp like never before please fill out the camp staff application here and mail it into our Fresno Office at 6005 N Tamera Fresno CA 93711.

• Camp Alumni Association:

  This is a new opportunity that the Council is starting to develop to help the future of Camp. This group will be made up of the same individuals that once worked at Camp as staff members. The plan is for this to become a group of dedicated people who are interested in the future of camp. If you are interested in becoming a member of this group and helping out please contact Joseph Potthast at jpotthas@bsamail.org or calling the Fresno Scout Office at (559) 320-2100.

• Camp Staff Scholarships:

  Without a doubt it is the staff that makes camp the great success that it is. In 2007 for the first time the Sequoia Council started to accept donations in the interest of providing a new method to help out those dedicated staff members that help make camp possible. The purpose of this program is to provide a resource for dedicated staff members to continue their pursuit of higher education. If you are interested in this new program please contact Joseph Potthast at jpotthas@bsamail.org or calling the Fresno Scout Office at (559) 320-2100.
