The
Camp Allatoona Aquatics Base is one of three camps maintained
by the Atlanta Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. The base operates
on weekends only. It is located on approximately 500 acres fronting
Lake Allatoona (see maps)
in Woodstock,
a short drive northwest of Atlanta, Georgia. We offer year around
weekend primitive camping plus seasonal (March thru October) planned
weekend programs for all BSA aquatics merit badges, safe boating
and safe swim defense/safety afloat, lifeguard, basic and wilderness
first aid, and high adventure training for Boy Scouts, Varsity,
Venturing/Sea Scouts, and adult scouters, primarily on a weekend
basis. Advance reservations are required both for camping and
for programs. We operate with a 100% volunteer staff. In addition
to seasonal programs at the Camp, our volunteers may be available
to provide year around training and advice within the Council
for first aid, CPR, safe swim defense/safety afloat, BSA snorkeling,
BSA scuba, learn-to-swim programs, the America's Boating Course,
and the Ocean Conservancy's Good Mate program which helps boaters
develop environmentally sound practices.
Our base is the only scout camp in the United States that offers
expert training in ALL the aquatics merit badge skills plus training
for the aquatics High Adventure Camps from a wholly volunteer
staff. Several of our volunteers are BSA Aquatics Instructors
and American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructors. We also count several
American Heart Association and American Red Cross First Aid and
CPR Instructors among our volunteers. We are also a wonderful
development facility for adult leadership in aquatics skills,
first aid, and more..
When not being used for our programs, our canoes and rowboats
are available to scouts & scout leaders for use in the immediate
vicinity of the base following Safe Swim Defense/Safety Afloat
guidelines. Our powerboats and sailboats are dedicated to program
use.
Our address: 200
Lovingood Drive, Woodstock, Georgia 30189
We look forward to meeting you and your scouts and hope you all
will have a great experience at the Camp Allatoona Aquatics Base.
