Camp Shawano
Camp Shawano is 142 acres located in Jessamine County Kentucky. The camp consists of large meadows for sports and recreational activities. The property has a climbing tower, archery range, and facilities for seasonal and year round use. This is the perfect camp for first time troop camping!

Trails are open! Lexmark employees came for their annual work day and worked on clearing trails. Sinking Pond and Joe's Journey trails which go from Jack Frost to Sky Ridge to the old Dining Hall area are in great shape. Red Bud Trail is usuable with a tree down that is easy to get around. Here is a basic Trail map.
