The camp has several prairie, woodland, marsh and lake habitats, and a full-time camp ranger. Spring Creek feeds the 60 acre Lake Mack Dick. This camp offers excellent wildlife viewing and Boy Scouts can meet all the requirements for any wildlife merit badge. Woodland and prairie birds and owls can all be seen. White-tailed Deer, Wild Turkey, Northern Bobwhites and many small mammals including beaver are found at the camp. In the evenings Eastern Screech-Owls and bats excite the scouts. Public access may conflict with Boy Scout activities, particularly in summer, so call ahead to confirm availability. Open daily, check for seasonal closures.
