Can I visit?
Of course - we've set aside Friday evening as Parent's night. Parent's night activities begin at 4:30PM with our Water Carnival where Troops will compete against each other in a fun afternoon of Aquatical activities. 6:15 will be our Parent's night BBQ at our Dining Hall! Cost for visitors for dinner is $8 per person.
It is strongly discouraged for visitors to come to camp at any other time - your son will always be busy, and any visitors will detract from the program. If you need to contact your son in an emergency - please call our camp office at 609-698-2855 and leave a message with the clerk.
