A Three Fires Council CampCamp Freeland Leslie is the premier patrol-method camp in the Central Region.  We believe that the patrol is the heart of Scouting, and that teaching Scouts to work as a team is our most important job. The staff is hard at work preparing for your visit next summer, and we look forward to serving you.  Please visit this site often as we will be adding new information as it gets closer to camp, &  be sure to check the important announcements and dates as they appear.
