Camp C.S. Klaus is situated within a wooded valley approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) NW of Colesburg, Iowa. The camp is approximately 160 acres (0.65 km2). [3]
Camp C.S. Klaus has a large grass parade grounds area where the Lyon's Camp Office is located. This area has proven itself as a great location for activities and games. The parade grounds also provides a place for Scout troops to camp during the off-season.
The waterfalls within the camp are the source of Brownfield Creek, a trout stream that flows into a man made 12-acre (49,000 m2) lake known as Lake John Deere. Many of the aquatics programs (canoeing, sailing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking) offered at summer camp take place here. The lake is also known to have fish. Common fish include Bass, Bluegill, Catfish and Iowa Brook Trout.[ citation needed ]
The newest addition to the camp is the backyard also known as the valley. Purchased with donations from over 120 individuals and local businesses, this land was dedicated in 2006. The Backyard abuts the NE corner of the main camp. This 80-acre (320,000 m2) piece of land is home to many new programs. This area is also home to the ice cave that Scouts have been visiting for decades. This area is often utilized for wilderness survival, leave-no-trace camping, hiking, nature study, star-gazing, viewing wildlife and a competition level Navigation Course for teaching orienteering with a map and compass and GPS navigation.[ citation needed ]
Over the last 15 years, Camp C.S. Klaus has seen a tremendous number of improvement projects and additional facilities including, new building construction, building renovation, program upgrades and camp infrastructure upgrades. These improvements have come from many extremely dedicated volunteers that have donated much of their time, resources and skills. Despite these renovations the camp is still quite rustic. [4]
