The Campcraft area sits South of the Camp Horseshoe parking lot, and situated to the East of the Loop Road as it passes Sherwood and Boonesboro campsites. It is a conglomeration of buildings, pavilions, and tons of pioneering projects and demo areas to conduct merit badges.

Campcraft hosts plenty of merit badges and here we see the faces and the skills from years gone by to today.

Paul Bunyan field day is a Camp Horseshoe tradition that goes back to the very beginning of camp. Participants try their best in a variety of camp craft skills and pioneering skills and skills he would probably not need anywhere else in life, like eating giant pancakes.

The Obstacle Course has changed shape, form, and locations over the years, but it is always a challenge and a competition whose winners are announced at the end of the week.

Outpost is a wilderness adventure for Scouts taking Camping or Wilderness Survival merit badges, and they are often run in remote areas of camp far away from the rest of the summer campers.

The original rugged individualists, the Campcraft staff, are featured in this display.

Along with the every popular “PBFD” shirts worn predominantly by staff, there are plenty of other memorable memorabilia from Campcraft.

Here is the listing of known Campcraft area directors for Camp Horseshoe.
