Each and every year, Jewish Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts from all over the Northeast gather for a weekend of camping fun and excitement. We have delicious kosher meals provided by our kitchen staff and spend a beautiful Shabbat together. We also play all sorts of fun games, and learn all sorts of exciting stuff. Kinus Dates Boy Scout Kinus – May 28-31, 2010
Cub Scout Kinus – June 4-6, 2010 |
Not a camper? It doesn't matter! Most of the adults who attend the Kinus do not think of themselves as campers, but still manage to have a blast. We also have various activities for our scouters and interesting lectures for the adults on various Jewish topics. For the more adventurous, on Sunday, we have various hikes from a ten mile trek to a light ramble around the camp grounds exploring the local wildlife and plants. There's also fishing, archery, riflery, and other fun activities. We even climb the mountain located behind our camp and take the campers down a small segment of the Appalachian Trail! If you missed out on all the fun at last year's Kinus, just take a look at our gallery and see what you missed. So, rush to your calendar and clear those dates. The, come back here early and often for the latest information. We hope to see you at this year's Kinusim. |

Compass Hike for Cub Scout Kinus |
|
 Would you like to try your hand using a compass? We are planning a Compass Hike at the Cub Scout Kinus. Please remember to bring a decent hiking compass. It doesn't have to be expensive. You don't need one with mirrors and sighting or declination error correction. The Suunto A-10 Compass show here can be had for between $10 to $15. This compass can easily be used on maps and on hikes for sighting.
Of course, this hike is open to both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and any interested adult. If you are interested in going on this hike, please contact our Danny Chazin, our Kinus chairman at

Five Mile Hike Planned for Boy Scout Kinus |
|
 We are planning to have a five mile hike during the Boy Scout Kinus. This hike will be open to both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts as well as adults. To go on this hike, you must be prepared. People without the proper preparations will not be allowed on the hike.
- All people on this hike must have hiking boots. Tennis shoes will not do.
- Socks are a must.
- You must have a proper canteen for water. This can be a bottle designed for hiking or a hydration backpack.
- Everyone must wear long pants. This includes girls who may wear pants under their dress. This is for both modesty reasons and to protect your legs against ticks and getting scratched from plants and rocks.
- You must be in good physical shape. Although it is only five miles long, it will be a very rigorous hike.
