Join us at Camp Nocatee for our fourth annual Rock the Noc family-style festival!

Join us at Camp Nocatee for our fourth annual Rock the Noc family-style festival! Bring out the folding chairs, blankets, and coolers while you enjoy fun activities for the whole family and then jam out with us during the finale concert in the Commons area!

Bring the whole crew (dads, siblings, grandparents, cousins, friends) and jam out with us at GSSEF’s fourth annual outdoor festival, Rock the Noc! We are celebrating music, art and self-expression at Camp Nocatee and it’s going to be a rocking good time. Not only will you and your family get to explore all the reasons we love camp (including archery, hatchets, slingshots, hiking and campfire s’mores), but there will also be carnival-style games and crafts! The day will end with a grand finale concert with a live band playing on the steps of Founder’s Hall with freshly popped popcorn.

Rock the Noc Camporee 2026

Think one afternoon isn’t enough time to really Rock the Noc, then turn your Rock the Noc experience into a whole weekend of fun with our new Council-led camporee option!

Get ready to rock out all weekend with our new Council-led camporee option for Rock the Noc. Participants will come on Friday night to start the fun and stay through Sunday morning.

The program fee will include admission to Rock the Noc, all meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday, activities for the weekend including the Rock the Noc day event, a Rock the Noc t-shirt and fun patch.

Additional activities will include all-camp mingle activities on Friday and Saturday evening as well as special camporee activities Saturday morning.

This camporee will be operated as a family camping trip. Male volunteers and youth are welcome to join for the camporee option as long as space permits for sleeping arrangements as required by Safety Activity Checkpoints.

Troops/groups will be assigned to a site together. Depending on the size of your group/troop, you may be sharing a site with other troops/groups.
