Packing List

Our number one priority is safety, followed by providing our children with a fun and age-appropriate experience. We understand that some families are experienced campers, but we must follow rules and guidelines as prescribed by Scouts America at all times. As a result, we ask that you abide by the following for everyone’s safety and enjoyment throughout the weekend: 

The following items/activities are strictly prohibited:

• Pets

• Firearms, fireworks, or explosives

• Sheath knives or wood tools (hatchets, axes, saws). Small folding pocket knives for personal use are acceptable for adults or Scouts who have earned their Whittling Adventure for the year.

• Firewood or fire starters (no personal campfires are allowed)

• Alcohol 

• Tobacco or vape products

• Drugs or any controlled substance (other than required personal prescription medication, which should be secured by the adult away from children)

• Cooking equipment, such as camp stoves, bbq grills, backpacking stoves, etc.  (NO INDIVIDUAL COOKING OR FIRE OF ANY KIND is allowed within our sites.)
