The "where else" dilemma is one of the reasons that I wrote Scout Camps USA.
There are dozens of High Adventure opportunities available throughout the
country that should satisfy the lads.
Check these out:
Chisholm Trail Adventure-Texas

Plus many, many more........

Or-Do it on your own
How about:
