Heritage Reservation provides a comprehensive outdoor experience for Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts through its three distinct camps. For younger adventurers, Camp Independence offers a family-oriented Cub Scout camp tailored to fostering early exploration and connection with nature. Designed with activities suitable for Cub Scouts and Webelos, this camp emphasizes family involvement and provides opportunities for Scouts to grow their skills and confidence in a supportive environment.

Scouts BSA can choose between Camp Liberty and Camp Freedom, each catering to different experiences. Camp Liberty focuses on the patrol cooking method, where Scouts prepare their meals, building camaraderie and leadership skills. Camp Freedom offers a dining hall setting, allowing participants more time to focus on merit badge activities and fun outdoor programs. Additionally, Eagle Base provides high adventure opportunities for older Scouts, including whitewater rafting, ATV tours, and canopy treks, ensuring every participant can find an adventure that fits their interests and skill level.
