Bear Paw Cold Weather Camping #1 – Outdoor 2025

January 31, 2025 - February 2, 2025

34th Annual BearPaw

OUTDOOR SESSION

Three-day Winter Camping Experience 

WHAT:

The outdoor camping experience allows participants to put into practice what they learned during troop meetings, which is camping in the snow or a very cold environment within a very safe environment accompanied by a couple of hundred fellow Scouters.  This may be the best high adventure they may ever participate in as a youth; even adults have fun.  The event has a focus on fun in the cold/snow, along with camping challenges that are easily overcome with experience and mentoring. We will have a snow cave and snowman competition, plenty of hot cocoa, and fellowship!

WHEN: JANUARY 31st – FEBRUARY 2nd

WHERE: Camp Hi-Sierra – 29211 Hwy 108 Long Barn, CA 95335

BearPaw can be considered a car camping event.  Units may leave the campground during the day on Saturday and drive up to Lake Pinecrest, go skiing, or participate in any other activity desired.  BearPaw focuses on camping in cold weather with or without snow which includes cooking, sleeping, and keeping warm.  Units are not required to be at camp during the day.
