What does the future hold for Camp Trexler? Conservation group seeks partners for preservation

For generations of Boy Scouts in the Lehigh Valley, the Trexler Scout Reservation has been a chance to get in touch with nature.

The camp features two lakes, a 65-foot climbing wall and zipline, a crafts building, hiking trails and dozens of other activities to pass a summer day.

But the 2023 season will likely be the last one for Camp Trexler, which has a history stretching back more than 90 years. The Minsi Trails Council announced in March that it plans to sell the land to raise money for its share of a historic nationwide settlement with thousands of people who say they were abused when they were Scouts.
