Fifth Water Hot Springs
November 14-15, 2025
Campout Information
Fifth Water General Information
Fifth Water Hot Springs are a series of 27 hot pools that are fed by hot water bubbling up into them.
We will have a changing tent. Boys will change into their swimsuits near the hot springs.
After swimming, they will change back into warm, dry, sleeping clothes before they head back to camp Friday evening. They will also change into warm, dry, clothes before hiking out of the area on Saturday.
There may be rain in the area Friday and Saturday, We camp in all kinds of weather so the boys know how to take care of themselves wherever they may be.
Forecast temperatures are low Friday night of 36 and high Saturday of 45

Lee needs to know who will and who will not be going on the campout
November 13 (Thursday)
Pack Check. Since this is a backpacking campout we will not be able to pack extra items into camp (like sleeping bags and water bottles). Each boy must have every item on the packing list. The boys packs will be checked and loaded into Lee’s truck at Scouts on Thursday. Boys who do not come prepared will need to go home, get their gear, and setup a time with Lee to check their gear prior to 3:30 PM Friday which is our departure time. Boys who do not have everything will not be allowed to go.
