“The real way to gain happiness is to give it to others.”
Baden Powell de Aquino

The Aquatics department has always been an important piece of the Camp Ware program.  Swimming was always conducted in the Octoraro Creek until the pool was built in the mid 1960s.

The basic survival skills of Scouting are taught here – camping, cooking, orienteering, hiking and pioneering.  Participants at the Cub or Scouts BSA level are bound to pickup new wilderness skills in this department.

Many a marksman has been cultivated at the Camp Jubilee / Ware / Explorer Base Field Sports department.  For the Cub program, bibi guns and bows & arrows are used while the Scouts BSA use .22 rifles, shotguns, and also participate in archery.

One of the quintessential skills of any Scout, First Aid is an indispensable part of the program.

Handicraft is a good place to express one’s creative side, and Scouts (and parents) of all ages get a chance during the summer to build, weave, carve, paint and stitch their creations in a safe and fun manner.

Opened in Summer 2016, the Innovation Center exhibits some of the cutting edge activities in technology that Scouts can enjoy while visiting Camp Ware.

Many folks have explored the Camp Ware Nature Department and found quite a number of slithery, leafy, starry and furry exhibits.  Posters, animals, plants and more await the curious observer in this department.
