Winter Camp

Hear ye, hear ye!

Welcome to Winter Camp 2026 at Robert E. Knox Scout Reservation!

For the next few days, the gates of the Faire stand open, and the woods, trails, and gathering places of Knox will become a lively winter realm filled with adventure, craftsmanship, friendly competition, and fellowship.

Throughout your stay, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to try something new and put your Scouting skills to the test., learn from the craftsmen and artisans of the Faire, test your aim upon the range, compete for honor in the Queen’s Tournament, explore new skills and challenges, and stand alongside your patrol as you make new friends and memories along the way. Whether your talents lie in creativity, leadership, skill, strength, or simply being willing to give something new a try, there is a place for everyone at the Faire.

Our staff has worked hard to fill Winter Camp with opportunities to learn, explore, compete, create, and—most importantly—have fun. Wander among the booths of the Knox Winter Faire, gather with friends around the Innkeeper’s Table, cheer on your fellow Scouts, and share one final evening together at the Gathering at the Great Fire. Through it all, we hope you’ll discover that some of the best adventures are built from good friends, new experiences, and the willingness to step forward and take part.

As with any great gathering, the Faire is what its people make of it. Bring your enthusiasm, your Scout spirit, and your sense of adventure. Try the unfamiliar. Welcome someone new into your patrol. Lend a hand when it is needed. Laugh often, compete honorably, and leave Knox a little better than you found it.

May your days be filled with discovery, your evenings with fellowship, and your time at Knox with memories worth carrying home.

Welcome to Winter Camp 2026—the gates are open, the banners are raised, and the Faire begins!
