Off-Site Activities
The International Camporee provides complimentary activities in the Gillette Community promoting educational, recreational and missional experiences.
There are more than 30 parks located throughout Gillette that provide a variety of outdoor activities. Many of these parks offer picnic areas, playgrounds, restrooms, volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoes, fishing, Frisbee golf courses and much more!
We’re only an ’hour to the tower’. Gillette is only an hour from Devils Tower National Monument! Enjoy the nation’s first national monument. See a real-life Prairie dog town, take a walk along any of the 7.4 miles of paths or simply tour the park from your car. Plenty of parking, a bookstore, and tons of educational opportunities.
An array of activities await Pathfinders and staff of all ages in the nearby Gillette community. Swim, play soccer and basketball, visit area museums or take in the art venues Gillette offers. Activities are held daily, unless otherwise noted.
Area 59
Area 59 is a Maker Center equipped with robotic arms, laser engravers, 3D printers, a workshop, metal shop and much, much more. Pathfinders under the age of 18 will have the opportunity to create their own pins or work on their digital photography honor.
The adult staff members that accompany them will work on the drone honor (the pins are just for the under 18 pathfinders).
