[edit] Camping Periods
The camping season starts with Cub Scout camp in late June, and then the regular season begins and goes through to early [August]. A Troop will typically stay at the camp for one week.
[edit] Services
The camp offers prepared meals, a waterfront for swimming, an archery range, a shooting range, an observatory, scout crafts, pioneering exercises, and an Order of the Arrow "Call Out" ceremony every week.
[edit] Natural Environment
Camp Shin-Go-Beek is kept in an arguably natural state. All alterations to the existing property are done with extreme care. The Scoutcraft area of Camp Shin Go Beek is entirely made with Lashing techniques and remains in a completely natural state. The camp is home to chipmunks, deer, cyotes, and many endangered birds, such as the Bald Eagle, the Sandhill Crane, and the Blue Heron.
A concern of the camp is the fact that Little Twin Lake has completely dried up. Big twin also has dropped noticeably.
