Project C.O.P.E. at Camp Birch for 2008-2009 C.O.P.E. is the Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (C.O.P.E.) program of the Boy Scouts of America. COPE is an excellent program for teenage youth and adults. Low COPE and combined low and high COPE events can be tailored to your unit’s goals and objectives for things such as Troop Leader Training, teen or adult leader retreats, high adventure crew team building, and/or fit within any weekend outing at Camp Birch.
