==The camp that comes to the boy==
{{quote-source|Day camp is an organized, multiple-day, theme-oriented program for [[Tiger Cubs]] and their [[adult partners]], [[Wolf]], [[Bear]], and [[Webelos]] Scouts. Day camp is conducted by the council/district under trained leadership at an approved site during daylight or early evening hours. Day camps do not include any overnight activities. The day camp program is [[Age-Appropriate Guidelines|age-appropriate]] and theme-based. Den members are supervised by den and pack leaders.|[http://www.scouting.org/CubScouts/Activities/Adults/camping.aspx Cub Scout Camping]}}

==For Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos Scouts==
{{quote-source|Tiger Cub day camp programs should be geared to the physical and mental abilities of their specific age group. Program session time schedules and activities should be geared specifically for Tiger Cubs, with the involvement of their adult partners. This usually will require adjustment of an existing day camp program geared for Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts.''

Approval to conduct a day camp is granted by the council. Training for camp directors and program directors is provided through the National Camping School. All day camps shall be conducted in accordance with established standards as given in National Standards for Local Council Accreditation of Cub Scout/Webelos Scout Day Camps, No. 13-108.|[http://www.scouting.org/cubscouts/resources/cub%20scout%20outdoor%20program%20guidelines.aspx Cub Scout Outdoor Program Guidelines]}}

Check with your council and district leaders for day camp opportunities available in your area.
