Camp Rules

This camp property was established for youth groups to enjoy Nature’s creation. We
expect everyone to respect Nature’s handiwork and not pick, pull or otherwise destroy it.

All groups must fill out a “CHECKLIST” for either the Longhouse or Cook Shelter {Tenting Area) upon arrival to Camp. If you notice any damage or buildings not cleaned properly, the booking coordinator must be contacted IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so may result in your group paying for damages done by someone else. The checklist for tenting area is found inside Cook Shelter, for the Longhouse it is in a grey binder on the wall as you enter the longhouse.

There will be no dangerous activities allowed on the camp property.

Scout Canada rules still apply anytime SC youth are on the premises. Abiding by Scouts Canada Drug and Alcohol Policy, alcohol and prescribed drugs are only allowed when there are no Scouts or Scouting activities ongoing.
