     Voyager Bay Scout Camp has been the home of Troop 370's summer camp experience since the summer of 1995.  This unique piece of property is located just north of Outing, MN on the shores of Lake Washburn, and in the heart of the Land 'O Lakes State Forest.  Donated in the 1950's to Shepperd of the Lakes Church in Edina, MN, Voyager Bay is currently shared by Troops 370 and 347 from Eden Prairie, and Troop 123 from Edina.  The property itself is a diverse mixture of old and new forests, swamps, lakes, and fields.  It hosts a large variety of birds, deer, mosquitos, squirrels, rabbits, fox, and many other wild animals.
     Voyager Bay features all of the amenities one expects from a Scout camp including rifle, shotgun, and archery shooting ranges, a climbing and challenge course, orienteering courses, scoutcraft area, campfire bowl, swimming and boating beach, 15 secluded and spacious campsites are set throughout the camp to allow for a camping experience focused on nature and the out of doors.  The camp also features several programs and unique opportunities including access to thousands of acres of adjoining forest land, the local fire tower and fish hatchery, and it's own metal working shop.  Coming to Voyager Bay in 2010 are a SCUBA platform and instruction area as well two reinforced storm shelters.
     Improvements to camp and all programs are operated by Troop 370's parents, leaders, volunteers, and alumni.  Work parties are organized two or three times a year, and planning for the week long summer camp experience begins in February.  Troop 370 alumni have experience with this Camp going back to the 1960's and help to guide the future of camp, as well as keep the past alive.

Zach- A Day at Voyager Bay

E-mail Print

Hi,my name is Zack

Tuesday was an ok day. It was the first day that we were able to go out to the raft. They wouldn't let us go out earlier because the water had been to cold. Not a lot of people stayed out on the raft. I think it was because the water was still pretty cold. The only people that stayed out there were the spiders and the Emus.

The thing that made Tuesday a so so day was the rain. It started raining just after free swim time. A lot`of people tents and gear got wet. I rained all through the night. I hope  it is the only night it does so.

Watch in this section for daily writeups and possibly videos from our communications students.  In the sounds section you can find two songs performed at our opening campfire by NODEATH, our Alumni group.  We are also tracking some thunderstorms that may hit us later in this evening.  We will post an update if necessary later this evening.

First real day at camp.  The weather is quite nice, not overly hot, but warm.  Swim quals were held today, so I can finally practice sailing and life saving. We also played capture the flag, but that quickly disintegrated when the older boys minimized the field to just the field.  The raspberries are growing abundiently in a few places making it easy to grab a snack.  Overall, a nice day.

Voyager Bay Summer Camp History

The Viking Council has long been known for its long term camp and its support and encouragement of long-term, independent camping.  Summer Camp 1995 at Voyager Bay was a premier example of that philosophy in action.
