About Camp Manatoc
Camp Manatoc opened in 1923 through a combined effort of dedicated Scouters, community leaders, and the generosity of Akron philanthropist Karl Butler who donated more than 400 acres for scouts to use in the Cuyahoga Valley.
The original entrance to the camp was off present-day Route 303. It was moved in 1932 to its current location when the camp expanded to the southern part of the acreage. Three buildings are still used from that expansion, including the Manatoc Dining Hall which is on the National Register of Historic Places for being one of the largest structures of its size make from extinct wormy chestnut.
Scouts BSA Summer Camp is held along with Cub Scout Overnight Camp, and weekend cabin and tent camping the rest of the year.
