Gerber Scout Reservation | Twin Lake, MI
Gerber offers many different year-round programs and are currently developing even more. We rent a large variety of our building out for your scouting events. More information are detailed below in the Year Round Programs and Services. If their is a program you would like to see offered reach out to the Reservation Director; we are always welcome to new ideas.
In recent years, Gerber Scout Reservation attendance has swelled from 900 in 1997 to over 2,500 in 2012. Much of this increase can be attributed to the 1998 initiation of the Cub Scout and Webelos Adventureland, a section of the camp dedicated to Cub Scouts. Gerber currently has the capacity to accommodate 425 Boy Scouts, 200 Cub Scouts each week or session.

Gerber Scout Camp offers amazing weekend program opportunities to add to your weekend camping adventures! Our programs consist of a variety of Range and Target, swimming, boating, climbing, fishing and more!
Canoe and Kayak rentals going off property will need to provide their own boat sanitizer.
We try our best to have as many programs available as possible each weekend, but unfortunately cannot always guarantee all of them at this point. So, contact Camp Director Marie Becvar at marie.becvar@Scouting.org
At the time of check in, you will review the camp policies and make any final arrangements for program activities.
