The Chester County Council hosts the Special Camporee each year at Camp John H. Ware 3rd to provide disabled individuals with the chance to learn and experience all the wonder of the Scouting program.

Held each summer at Camp John H. Ware 3rd, participants spend a week earning merit badges and gaining insight into numerous science fields such as electronics, aviation, engineering, radio, medicine and chemistry.

Also known as V-Week, Venture Week was started in 2008 at Camp Ware to provide Venture Scouts with an opportunity to try lots of high adventure activities – such as C.O.P.E., Kayaking, Climbing, Caving and Pistol Shooting – as well as some off-the-beaten-track type things like wilderness first aid, graphic design and pottery. 

This exhibit also covers some photos from the 1950s Explorer Weeks.

Camp Cadet is a summer camp for boys and girls from Lancaster County, PA between the ages of 11 to 13 and sponsored by the Pennsylvania state Police. They hold their camp activities at Camp Ware after the camp closes its normal Scouting activities for the summer.
