1 - 12 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. Sabattis Scout Reservation Scouts Name Troop # HC 01, Box 3 Long Lake, NY 12847 Emergency Phone Number Only (518) 359-9283 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.
