Onteroa Scout Reservation

Located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, the 1400-acre and 2000-foot altitude, Onteora Scout Reservation is affectionately referred to by those who have experienced the camp as "Land in the Sky."  Upon arrival at OSR, you will be met with a traditional greeting of "Welcome Home." 

Boy Scouts of different rank and age will have a wide variety of programs to choose from during its summer camp season.  While OSR is rooted in tradition, its programs are developed with the needs of today's Scouts and leaders in mind.  Outside of summer camp season, Onteora is available for campsite rental.
