Where: Cheyenne Mountain State Park, CO. The park is nestled beneath the eastern flank of Cheyenne Mountain, just south of Colorado Springs. Cheyenne Mountain State Park offers beautiful camping areas with stunning views. The sites are spacious and spread out over four campgrounds. Each campsite has a table, fire ring and grate. The terrain is easy and rolling hills with beautiful views of the mountains. The landscape could be described as "meadow" with shorter trees and scrub brush. The park features 23 miles of easy to moderate hiking and biking trails that lead visitors from prairie grasslands through a stunning foothills transition zone. The visitor center provides an opportunity to learn about the park's diverse natural resources while taking in an amazing view.

When: The campsite is reserved for our group from Friday, May 16 through Sunday, May 18, 2025. However, the organized scout activities will begin on Saturday, May 17 at 10:00 AM and end at 12:00 PM on Sunday, May 18.

Meals: We will coordinate lunch and dinner on Saturday, May 17 and breakfast on Sunday, May 18. Food costs will be calculated closer to the campout date and a per person total will be provided to all attendees.

Campers arriving prior to the scheduled activities (Friday) are responsible for coordinating their own dinner on Friday and breakfast on Saturday.

Water: The campground amenities include drinking water, but for convenience, please bring enough water to last you and your scout for the duration of your stay.

Facilities: The park offers flush toilets, hot showers (for a fee) and laundry facilities. There is also a playground for kids and plenty of open space for activities.

Activities: Our Cub Scout group will enjoy hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor activities throughout the weekend. The park offers over 28 miles of diverse trails suitable for different skill levels. Wildlife you might spot includes deer and various birds. We'll also have scheduled scout activities from Saturday morning through Sunday noon.

Requirements: All vehicles entering the park require a Colorado State Park Pass. If you don't already have an annual pass, the daily entrance fee is $10 per vehicle. Please be prepared to purchase this at the entrance if needed. Please follow all park guidelines regarding wildlife, fires, and camping etiquette.

Reservations: The campsite has been reserved for our pack. Please RSVP by email pack599sandburg@gmail.com to confirm your attendance.

Looking forward to a wonderful Spring Campout with all our Cub Scout families at this beautiful Colorado state park!

Please Note: This campout is an opportunity for all of us (who happen to also be Scouts) to meet up in the great outdoors and talk about and use some of the amazing skills we have learned over the last year! We will abide by the same guidelines and rules that apply to Pack sponsored activities (youth protection, parental supervision, age/skill appropriate activities, etc.) If you have any questions, please reach out to pack599sandburg@gmail.com.
