Year-round (Weekend) camping facilities include:

• Tent sites, Cabins and Lean-to sites.

• Programs available every weekend include a self guided Ecology Trail around Deep Pond, Fishing, and Orienteering.

• Archery and BB Gun ranges are also available on Spring and Fall weekends under the leadership of  the camp staff. 

Four hiking trails have been cleared and marked. The four (4) trails provide ample opportunities for scouts camping at Schiff to satisfy most of the advancement hiking requirements, with a minimum of trail duplication.

All the trails start at a "Hiking Stump" which has been installed near the "Camp Wauwepex" sign on the road to Hickox Dining Hall. The trails are designated and marked: Red, White, Blue and Yellow. In some sections more than one of these trails share the same route and will be marked with all the trail colors in areas or the trail shared by more than one.

Campmaster Program

The campmaster corps is a group of selected, trained, and registered Scouters who serve at camp whenever troops, teams, Webelos dens, or posts are using any part of the camp property. Campmasters select their own time and frequency of service, but they usually serve two to four times a year.
