replica of an 1860s logging camp, the Thompson-Peake Lumber Company, that used to be on Many Point Lake. Pioneer Pioneer is located along the southwest shore of Many Point Lake, between Voyageur and Family Camp. Unfortunately, the sub-camp is no longer in use. However, troops and crews may come to this camp if they wish to make and run their own program with minimal staff interaction. Family Camp Family Camp is built on the site of a former resort, on a peninsula that stretches to the center of Many Point Lake. While priority for the cabins and tent sites is given to families of Scouts and Scoutmasters camping at another sub-camp, any family can come and spend a week doing some fun camp activities or relaxing for the entire week. Swimming lessons, arts and crafts, and trips to Itasca State Park are also available. Many Point Family Camp is unique from other BSA family camps as it is one of the only in the nation to run a program for families.

Established in 1918, it was officially named "Oak Point Camp" but known as "Square Lake Camp" by the campers. It served the council for many years, but became too small for the demand in the 1930s, and was closed in 1937 when it was severely damaged by a storm. Neibel Looking for a larger property, the council purchased of land on the eastern shore of Balsam Lake, Wisconsin (), which was opened as Camp Neibel in the mid-1930s. It was named after Frank Neibel, who was the Scout Executive of the council at the time, and included a small island which was used for camping trips. Eventually, it too was outgrown, and it was closed in 1954, shortly after the land for Camp Tomahawk was purchased. The former Camp Neibel property was subdivided into individual lots, but the original pillars and entrance gate can be seen on the road that still bears the name "Neibel Lane".
