Saturday, we will swim in Inks Lake so bring your swim gear and we will take a short drive to Longhorn Caverns for an exciting tour of the beautiful caves, for those scouts and adults who want a little more excitement and adventure then sign up for the Wild Cave Tour where you will explore parts of the cave that require headlamps, helmets knee and elbow pads (gear that Longhorn will provide). Note: Time slots and participants are limited so It's first come first serve on the Wild Cave Tour so sign up on Troopmaster and get your payment ASAP and also email Mr. Gibson if you want the Wild Cave Tour.
See Mr Gibson’s flyer for Camp Activity Fees.
There are 2 options depending on the type of tour you choose.

See Longhorn Cavern as it existed before modern lights and pathways. The Wild Cave Tour takes 4–12 guests (8 years old and older) on a wriggling, crawling adventure through the undeveloped lower level of the cave. You will get dirty and wet. And have lots of fun doing so!
Requires appropriate caving safety equipment.
