Behavior & Conduct

All participants are expected to follow the Scout Oath and Scout Law at all times. Hazing is strictly prohibited with zero tolerance. Any form of bullying, harassment, or initiation rituals will result in immediate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from camp.

Scouting America's Youth Protection policies are enforced throughout camp. Two-deep leadership is required at all times, with no one-on-one contact between adults and youth, and separate sleeping arrangements maintained.


Dress Code

Closed-toe shoes are required at all times in program areas. Sandals and flip-flops may only be worn in shower areas. The Scout uniform (Class A) is expected for flag ceremonies and dining. Activity-appropriate clothing should be worn for all programs.

Equipment & Damage Policies

Units are responsible for all camp equipment assigned to their campsite. Damage fees are as follows:

Tent Repair: $10 per inch of damage

Tent Replacement: $900

Fire Extinguisher (missing or discharged): $150

Report any pre-existing damage to camp staff immediately upon campsite setup to avoid being charged. Leave your campsite better than you found it.


Parking & Vehicles

All vehicles must be parked in the main parking lot. Vehicles are not permitted at campsites. The camp road is a single-lane dirt road with a 15 MPH speed limit. Uphill traffic has the right of way.
