Welcome to Save Camp Krietenstein, a dedicated group of individuals passionate about preserving the legacy of one of the most cherished Scout camps. Our journey began with a shared commitment to ensure that Camp Krietenstein remains a thriving center for youth development and community engagement for generations to come.
Our History
Camp Krietenstein has been a cornerstone of the Scouting community, providing a place where young people can learn valuable life skills, foster a sense of adventure, and build lasting friendships. Over the years, countless Scouts have walked its trails, enjoyed its campsites, and experienced the transformative power of nature. However, as time has passed, the need to maintain and improve the camp has grown, and that's where our group comes in.
Founded by a coalition of Scouts, alumni, parents, and community leaders, Save Camp Krietenstein was established with a singular goal: to preserve and enhance the camp's facilities and programs. We believe that every Scout deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of Camp Krietenstein, and we are dedicated to making that a reality.
Our Mission
Our mission is to safeguard the future of Camp Krietenstein by raising the necessary funds for its
