New Camper Program
Is this your first time at Summer Camp? Are you confused about what to do? Well, put your mind at ease – we have an exciting program just for you... the Camp Aquehonga New Camper Program!

Evening Programs
Each night, after Merit Badge program is over, there will be one featured activity available to all campers. Check out when each activity happens below.

• Sunday - Merit Badge/Program Find-Out & Opening Campfire

  • Highlights of the camp’s program will be displayed by area in and around the John Williamson Pavilion on Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. Scouts and leaders will get an overview of what every area has to offer as well as special programs that are available. Scouts will also find out about the merit badges they will take during the week and Senior Patrol Leaders can sign up for specific program opportunities with individual area directors.
    
    

  • Immediately after the Find-Out and the Leader's Meeting, the week officially kicks off with the Opening Campfire. Here you can meet the staff and start you week off with lots of fun, entertainment, and inspiration.
    
    

• Monday - Movie Night

  • Come watch a movie on the big screen at our own "Theater in the Pines", the Shawn E. Bowman Jr. Amphitheater
    
    

• Tuesday - Campwide Game

  • The entire camp will gather on the Pool Field for an exciting Campwide Game. Will it be a Scavenger Hunt, Campwide Clue, or maybe Capture the Counselor? Our game changes from week to week, so you'll have to show up to find out!
    
    

• Wednesday - BBQ and Ice Cream Social

  • Wednesday night's dinner takes place on the Pool Field with the traditional Aquehonga BBQ. Later in the evening, The Order of the Arrow Lodges of GNYC will sponsor an Ice Cream Social at the John Willamson Pavilion. Both of these events are sure to be filled with fun, food, and fellowship.
    
    

• Thursday - Scoutmaster/SPL vs.. Staff Softball Game

  • Relive Field of Dreams as the camp assembles on Barta Field for this highly anticipated game. All Scoutmasters and Senior Patrol Leaders are encouraged to come down with their gloves and step up to the plate against one of the best staff teams on the reservation. See the Field Sports Director to sign up to play, or to volunteer to lead as a Scoutmaster/SPL Captain.
    
    

• Friday - Closing Campfire

  • Once again, the Shawn E. Bowman Jr. Amphitheater is the place to be as we cap off the week. In this campfire, the troops in camp will show off your their best songs, skits and cheers. Take this opportunity to reflect on your week and challenge yourself for the scouting year ahead. Senior Patrol Leaders, make sure to bring your troop’s program items to the Wednesday afternoon SPL Roundtable.

Week in Review
Each week on Friday evening after the campfire, we will show a video recap of the events for the week. Campers will have an opportunity to relive the good times they had at camp that week. The recap will be shown outside the services building.

Dunk The Counselor
A definite hit in past seasons, units will once again have the opportunity to challenge the staff member of their choice to a display of firebuilding skill. Scouts work as a patrol/troop to quickly build a fire, burn the string and drench the counselor. The program takes place in the Scoutcraft area on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:45 p.m. Don’t forget, however, that all Dunk the Counselor challenges must be made at one of the two daily campwide flag ceremonies!

Biking Overnighters
Nature Biking Overnighter
Older Scouts looking for something new and exciting to do in the evening? How about taking an overnight biking trip to a remote part of the camp? You’ll pack everything you need in your backpack and cycle saddle bags. While there, members of our nature and biking staffs will spend the night with your group enjoying the calm, pleasant atmosphere and learning more about our beautiful reservation. Trips will leave around 5:00 p.m. and return the following morning before reveille. See the Program Director to sign up.

Campwide Flag Ceremonies
As a service to the camp, each morning and evening a different unit will raise and lower the colors on the Pool Field. Other troops are welcome to attend. Sign up at the Sunday Leader’s Meeting.

TMR Outpost Programs
Quality merit badge programming is only one small part of the Ten Mile River experience. The Reservation and each camp also offers a number of Outpost Programming opportunities.These programs are of interest to your younger and older Scouts alike. Don't miss out on these incredible programs which are often the highlights of a Scout's stay in camp!
