Thanksgiving Camp

Welcome to the Camp V-Bar Thanksgiving program - a different approach than typical resident camps.  The merit badge sessions will primarily be in a “vertical” schedule where each Merit Badge is completed within a day – similar to merit badge colleges.

Winter Camp

Got a new tent for Christmas?  Come try it out at V-Bar Winter Camp!  Knock out those Eagle required and STEM merit badges at the coolest camp on the calendar.  And, if you are coming from up north, escape the blizzard, and come experience Christmas time in the gulf south.  

Summer Camp

Nestled in the pine trees and red clay dunes surrounding Morning Glory Lake in rural Mississippi about 70 miles north of New Orleans, Camp V-Bar at Salmen Scout Reservation offers a program based on Scouting principles and fun.  From the Pathfinder Program for new Scouts to the new Camp V-Bar Challenge for older Scouts, Camp V-Bar presents an a action-packed program designed to provide exciting experiences and adventures for Scouts of all ages.  Camp V-Bar also boasts an extensive merit badge program taught by a knowledgeable staff using immersive experiences and instruction.  Additionally, the more than 1,400 acres comprising Salmen Scout Reservation allows for hiking, fishing, boating, and other activities to encounter nature on a grand scale.  Finally, from the first class Target and Range Activities area to the inground pool and 45-acre lake waterfront to a Dining Hall with the best food in the south, the facilities at Camp V-Bar provide a quality experience for Scouts and leaders to enjoy a week at one of the most fun camps in the country!
