As of May 2008, Rawleigh Cabin may no longer be rented for weekend camping

Aside from offering a summer camp program during the months of June and July, the camp also provides troops the opportunity of camping during the other months as well. Any troop in Blackhawk Area Council or from another council may rent cabins or camp sites for their troop or unit to camp during the other 10 months.

If your unit is interested in using Canyon Camp this fall and winter for a weekend cabin camp, campout, or activity, and your unit does not have a reservation, better make one as soon as possible.

Don't delay! Contact Beth Ann at the council service center at 815 - 397- 0210 ext. 100 to get your reservation on the books.
