History[]
In 2012, Clark's Fork became an interpretation camp set in the year 1950 (with great success) as a trial for all three western-themed camps. Whether or not Ponil and Beaubien will follow suit is still being decided upon.
Program[]
For dinner, Scouts and leaders are served a "chuckwagon" beef stew, a signature of Philmont. Many 'crews' (trekking groups usually consisting of ten Scouts and two adult leaders) take trail rides on the camps horses. Rides can be reserved in advance by crew leaders.
