Camp Blazing Trails FAQs
Follow the signs directing you to our camp Rides In area near the Dogwood Shelter marked with a red dot on the map below off of Lake Crabtree Park Drive off of Aviation Parkway. Map Pin.
Fishing
Campers will have the opportunity to go fishing most days. Gear will be provided, however, campers are more than welcome to bring their own gear. Staff may not be able to assist with maintenance of personal gear. We use artificial bait as well as hot dogs to generally catch bluegill, sunfish and catfish. Lake Crabtree is catch and release only.
Archery
Campers will have the opportunity to participate in archery most days. We will provide all equipment.
Canoeing
Campers will be able to canoe on Tuesday and Thursday. Swimming in the lake is not permitted, but please pack an extra pair of clothes, just in case.
Adventurer Training
Campers will have the opportunity to experience Outdoor Adventure through learning outdoor skills and conservation projects.
Mountain Biking
Due to the closure of trails at Lake Crabtree County Park, we have suspended biking temporarily, but hope to offer it again later in the summer. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Campers who are rising fourth graders or older will have the opportunity to go mountain biking on Wednesday. Campers will need to come prepared with their own bike and helmet. Helmets are required and campers without helmets will not be allowed to participate. We highly encourage a mountain bike as other types of bikes may not be adequate for trail rides.
