Welcome to
Boy Scout
Camp
Geiger
Today
Camp Geiger
offers a wide variety of landscapes to energetic campers. A Scout can explore
the more primitive old camp area. Older scouts can take part in a challenging new COPE course or the state of the art shooting sports area. Within the same camp boundaries one can hike the river bluffs and eventually
reach a scenic over-look on the highest point in northwest
Missouri.
Camp Geiger's
2010 program will offer a tremendous variety of activities for Scouts of all
ages. The first year Scout camper will certainly want to take part in the
Camp Geiger’s
special program, designed for the younger and less-experienced camper. He will
learn basic Scoutcraft skills that will help him advance through Scouting's
junior ranks: Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class.
Camp Geiger provides an extraordinary number
of activities each day to keep Scouts involved. Geiger offers one of the widest
varieties of programs of any summer camp. The 2010 schedule listed 50 plus
different activities. Most Eagle-required badges are offered. One need only review the listings in the Program Section to appreciate the
great diversity of learning and fun activities promised by this large
assortment of badges conducted by a very experienced staff. Older Scouts can
challenge themselves to the rigors of COPE, Climbing, Rowing and Canoeing. And
of course, there is the Tribe of Mic-O-Say, the honor camper society of Camp Geiger.
Mic-O-Say is one of the great success stories of the Scouting program.
Mic-O-Say is a society of exceptional Scouts and leaders, so honored because of
their character and leadership.
Leaders
can come to Camp Geiger confident that their young
charges will have an adventure-filled week that will certainly include a
generous helping of personal growth. Parents can confidently lend their sons to
Camp Geiger, assured that its staff will
provide a fun filled memorable experience.

Dear Scouters,
It seems almost impossible that 2010 will be my fifth summer as Camp Director. I am just as excited about this season as I was about the first one. Each year scouts and scouter return as good friends to Geiger. If you are looking to be new to the Geiger experience I am sure you will find it a rewarding week.
I am very pleased that Thomas Wilke has agreed to be program director replacing Matt. One of the factors that makes Geiger such a great place is the returning staff. This will make Thomas’s sixth year on staff. Like Thomas we have many returning staff members that have been part of the program for their third, fourth, fifth, sixth or more summer.
To help you have a great camp experience, please take time to review all the camp material on the website. We are always improving our programs and try to spread the word as quickly as possible. With an exciting and challenging new COPE course and a state of the art shooting sports area we know there will be a lot of excitement. As camp approaches more details will be available and all of them will be published on the website. Be sure to check often.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact either Thomas or myself at [Click for member's page].
Yours in Scouting,
Larry Grantham

Dear Scouts and Scouters,
The 2010 camping season is on its way and the staff and I have many things planned this summer.
With the 100th anniversary of scouting, we will be doing our part at Camp Geiger to celebrate the 100 years. I am thrilled with the ideas that we have in store for this summer.
A few of the new things that are going to be available at camp this coming summer and summers to come will be the new 60 ft COPE tower which will have a number of events connected to the tower. It is in the same area as the old tower, so no more walking down the big hill in the morning for those of you who like to take COPE. A state-of-the-art shooting sports complex will be located east of the Dinning Hall. Some new additions will be a Rifle Range, Archery Range and Shotgun Range. Also included are Sporting Clays where the old COPE course was. These projects are currently in construction phases.
The staff and I are going to provide campers of all ages the opportunity of 50+ daily activities. The staff is dedicated to maintaining the excellence that scouts and scouters know and love about Camp Geiger. This year will be my first year as Camp Geiger’s Program Director and my 6th year on staff. I am thrilled about all the fun that is in store for everyone this coming summer. I can’t wait for June so that the staff and I will have the opportunity to see all of you at Camp Geiger.
Sincerely,
Thomas Wilke
Program Director
