CAMP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ---- Visitors and Late Arrivals

All campers and leaders arriving at camp at some time other than check-in must register at the Camp Office and get a camp ID bracelet. It is also important that any leader being replaced checks out. We must know who is at camp at all times. Everyone in camp will be given a camp ID bracelet to be worn at all times.

All visitors must sign in and sign out at the Administration Building and get a camp ID bracelet. Any visitor who has not registered may be asked to leave camp. It is important for safety that we know who is visiting our camp and when. Visitors who intend to eat a meal at camp can purchase a meal ticket at the camp office. Meal rates are as follows: Breakfast - $4.00; Lunch - $5.00; Dinner - $7.00.

Family Night

On Friday night, parents and families of Scouts attending camp are welcome to experience the end of the week finale. Family night begins at 5:30 pm—7:00 pm. After dinner, the camp will have open program areas and a closing flag lowering at 8:45 pm. Our closing campfire will be after flag lowering and all guests are invited to stay for the show. Meal reservations for family members attending the Friday dinner should be made during camp check-in or they can be purchased in advance.

PROHIBITED ITEMS:

• Sheath knives
• Firearms
  
• Fireworks
• Drug, alcohol, or tobacco products
• Electronic devices (radios, TV, cell phones)

Leaders may have cell phones

LABEL YOUR SON’S PERSONAL BELONGINGS: Each year campers leave clothing and other personal belongings the camp staff cannot return because it is without a name or troop number. We suggest that parents use an indelible fine point marker to label items with your son’s name and Troop #. A lost and found area will be designated. The camp will not be responsible for missing items. Valuable items should not be brought to camp. Raccoons in the area have been known to pilfer valuable items. All items will be kept for 1 week after camp. After this they will be donated to a local clothing drive.

TRAILBLAZER PROGRAM

This program is for first-year campers to start towards their rank advancements of Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class. These are the objectives:

• Teach and improve basic Scout skills
• Teach the patrol method through practical application
• Provide instruction on requirements for the following skill areas; woods tools, physical fitness, first aid, nature, ropes, cooking, camping, orienteering, swimming, and Scout skills
• Trailblazers can also earn their Totin’Chip and Firem’n Chit cards

OVERNIGHTER

On Thursday night, Trailblazer participants have the option of going on the much-anticipated outpost. This night away from the troop in a remote part of the camp puts Scouting skills to the test. Participants should bring personal gear they would normally take on a weekend campout. This includes, tent, backpack, sleeping bag, canteen or water bottle, mess kit, first aid kit, pocketknife, ground cloth, flashlight and a compass. Tents can be shared with other Trailblazers participants.
