James Ray Scout Reservation 2025

Camp James Ray
Date: Sat, Jan. 18, 2025
Location: James Ray Scout Reservation, Pottsboro (Map)


Join us at scenic James Ray Scout Reservation on the shores of Lake Texoma as we welcome the new year. Just a few miles down the road from All Saints Camp, this venue also offers a wide variety of forest and terrain with an extensive trail system. The northern part of the camp has lots of campground features to navigate, while the south side is more un-groomed and natural. It’s a great place to race or just stroll and admire the beauty of nature.
