Spanning more than 300 acres, Camp Guajataka is one of the most complete camps in Puerto Rico. This youth paradise is open year-round and also welcomes groups and families not affiliated with the Scouting movement.

The waterfront features an impressive observation tower and a fleet of 35 canoes, plus paddle boards, kayaks, rowboats and sailboats. For the more adventurous, the camp offers diverse expeditions, including one that takes you to the headwaters of the Guajataca River.

The rappelling tower delivers adrenaline-pumping experiences, and C.O.P.E. events build teamwork and confidence among participants.
