Camp Chawanakee is a Boy Scout summer camp run by the Sequoia Council Boy Scouts of America. The camp is situated on the banks of Shaver Lake in the high Sierra’s and annually plays host to more than 4,000 Scouts and Scouters. A week at Camp Chawanakee gives Boy Scouts opportunities to experience outdoor camp living, participate in traditional scouting activities, take classes and earn merit badges, and generally have fun! Camp Chawanakee is located in a pristine area of the Sierra’s on Shaver Lake. The views are beautiful and the skies are clear -- perfect for star gazing at night. The camp is quite large and provides many troop campsites. Each site contains two or more ‘patrol sites,’ a cluster for four two-man semi-permanent tents. The tents have canvas roofs and walls, wooden floors, and contain two cots, each with a foam mattress. Campsites are inspected for cleanliness each day. Scouts are responsible for maintaining a clean site at all times during their stay. The high altitude, high heat, and high activity can make for a dangerous combination. Boys should be careful to carry water with them at all times, and drink at least three liters of water a day.
