The camp offers a variety of natural settings: pine forests, prairies, swamp, abundant wildlife and a beautiful lake entirely on the property. Lake Emrick is a unique natural resource and is one of the cleanest in Wisconsin. The camp was purchased by the former Du Page Area Council in 1970.

The 500 acre property allows for a wide variety of Scouting opportunities sure to meet the interests of the newest camper as well as the experienced older Scouts in your unit. CFL offers a full complement of merit badges, outpost opportunities, first year camper program, a COPE course, high adventure programs and much more.

New improvements to the facilities are constantly being made to improve Camp Freeland Leslie. A beautiful new nature center and lakefront observation deck was constructed for the 2005 camping season. Construction of a new shower facility was completed in 2006 which provides private and modern shower and restroom facilities. 2007 saw the completion of a handicapped accessible campsite. In 2008, the OA constructed our awesome Eagles Nest Program Area. 2009 brought the completion of a huge dining pavilion and 54 new tables with benches. Other projects are planned for future years. If you have not been to CFL in a number of years you will be amazed at the many improvements to the facilities. |
