    • River outfitter with canoe, tubing, and kayaking trips on the Flint River (camp has 3 miles of riverfront).
    • Complete COPE course (ropes course) with low and high elements.

    • 20 Developed campsites with platform tents or adirondacks, 3 primitive campsites with shelters and water, and 16 Backcountry campsites.

In addition to frequent year-round use by Scouts, the Lawhorn Scouting Base is a hotspot for non-Scout groups that include colleges, churches, sports teams, and businesses.  Groups come to Lawhorn for training, team-building, conferences, and just to have fun!  We offer everything from high adventures in climbing and rappelling to more relaxed hiking and canoe trips.
