Camp Durant is the larger of the two camps that make up the Occoneechee Scout Reservation (OSR) and operates as a full-service summer camp for the Scouts of Occoneechee Council as well as other councils in the vicinity during the months of June, July and August.
Camp Durant has some of the best facilities that a camp can offer! Following a generous capital campaign, Camp Durant underwent major improvements, including building our fully air-conditioned, 700-seat Grand Lodge Dining Hall that can seat the entire camp population at once.
Camp Durant has 15 campsites, each divided into two sides, and both sides feature a permanent shelter with electricity and lighting. Each campsite also has a shower house, complete with hot/cold showers and flushing toilets. These shower houses also allow for electric power during summer camp. In addition, the entire camp has been wired with fiber-optic cable, which provides both wired and wireless high-speed internet connections at most locations.
Participants and Staff will be housed in cabins for NeXus 2026 (campsites for tent camping are also available).

Once you arrive in Raleigh, follow these driving directions to camp Durant:
DIRECTIONS TO CAMP DURANT FROM RALEIGH
Take US-1 South from Raleigh past Sanford to the US-15/501 exit to Carthage and Pinehurst (you will see the Regan inn on your right just before you exit to the right). Take US-15/501 South to the outskirts of Carthage where the speed limit drops to 35 mph (enforced). Where 15/501 veers left and continues to Pinehurst, you will continue to head straight (West) where NC-24/27 peels off into Carthage. Continue into town until you reach a traffic circle which goes around the town’s courthouse. Turn right and so halfway around the traffic circle (as if you had gone straight through the courthouse) and continue on NC- 24/27 to the outskirts of town. After you have passed a convenience market and a graveyard on your right, you will come to a “Y” intersection where you will turn left onto Bethlehem Church Road. (On your right will be a small building that used to be a gas station with a blue roof.) You will come to a very sharp curve almost immediately after turning...go slow! After 7 miles of twisting country road, you will come to a flashing light. After stopping, go through the light, you are now on Old Carthage Rd. On your left you will pass a brick Methodist Church before coming to the service entrance to Camp Durant. The entrance to camp is about a half mile further on the left.
