As a complete contrast to the other BSA summer camp I frequented in my teens, camp Wente is anything but mild. In the summer it is downright hot. Back among the hills to the east of Willits, California, there are several hundred acres (maybe thousands) of space around a little lake that makes up this camp. Like any BSA camp, it has many activities, from swimming and boating (very popular in 100 degree heat), rifle and archery, horseback riding, climbing, and more.
