Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (COPE) is one of the high-adventure programs of the Boy Scouts of America. The program comprises group initiative games, trust events, low-course events, and high-course events. Some activities involve a group challenge while others develop individual skills and agility. Participants climb, swing, balance, jump, and rappel to devise solutions to a variety of problems, learning that they can perform at levels much higher than they imagined they could. COPE is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages who are seeking ways to challenge and expand their physical and mental abilities. As a noncompetitive program, COPE permits every participant to succeed. The group activities are ideal for enhancing the leadership and teamwork of Scout units, and activities that challenge individuals can be used to promote self-sufficiency and personal growth.
We are pleased to offer three distinct programs at our Camp Davy Crockett facilities, including both summer camp and our weekend programs. Please follow the links below to learn more.
