Camp Crooked Creek Staff Portal

At Camp Crooked Creek, we take pride in the fact that we have the best staff in the Southern Region! As we prepare for the twenty-fifth birthday of our Camp, the Council celebrates in the efforts of the Camp Staff and know that the staff is fully committed and prepared to give your boys a positive camp experience. Recruiting, training, and facilitating a staff is no easy task, and the Camp Director shares that responsibility with the Program Director and Camp Commissioner each summer. These three leaders, known as the Key Three, act in concert with each other to ensure the promise of a great camp for your Scouts.
