Mail – Phone Number
Two of the most asked questions by parents are, “Where will my son be?” and “How can I
reach him?” Please send all the letters and post cards that you want but do not call unless
it is an emergency. Remember we are in a remote area of the woods and phone service is
limited. The camp phone is for business and other emergencies. Mail takes about 4 days
to get to camp. Start mailing Wednesday the week prior to your son coming to camp. Here
is the Address and Phone Number for camp. Use regular USPS mail only for letters and
packages - DO NOT USE PRIORITY, OVERNIGHT, FEDERAL EXPRESS, or UNITED
PARCEL SERVICE – they do not deliver to camp. These services require a signature
and it is 18 miles one way to town where we have to send someone to pick packages up.
These services will delay your mail by 3-4 additional days. We will not make a special trip
to town just for packages.

Visitors
Visitors are welcome in camp at all times. You must check in at the Main Office at Camp
no matter what time you arrive. Prepare to show Picture Identification and know what troop
you are visiting. In order to speed this process tell your scout leader when you will be
arriving so that person can notify the office so we expect you. When you check in you will
be given a visitor ID bracelet that you must wear at all times. You must sign in and out of
camp, if you are taking your son you need to sign him out as well.
Scouts Leaving Camp
For your son’s protection, if an adult other than the parent or legal guardian is picking him
up instead of him going home with his troop, we need to have written confirmation from the
boy’s parent or legal guardian, stating that you may take the youth. Divorced parents, if
there is a legal issue of who can take the boy, the camp director must be notified in writing
that a certain adult or adults can not pick up the boy and check him out of camp.
The Form C-1 in the appendix needs to be filled out and brought with you to camp. The
form must be turned in when you register at camp.
