Preparing For Camp

Camp Policies and Procedures

All leaders arriving at camp at some time other than check-in must register at the Administration Building and get a camp identification bracelet.  It is also important that any leader being replaced signs out, as we must know who is at camp at all times.

All visitors must sign in and sign out at the Camp Office and wear a camp ID bracelet.  Any visitor who has not registered may be asked to leave camp.  It is important for safety that we know who is visiting our camp and when.  Visitors who intend to eat a meal at camp must purchase a meal ticket at the camp office.

Insurance

Troops attending camp from the Dan Beard Council are provided secondary medical insurance coverage through registration and charter renewal. Out of council troops attending Camp Friedlander are required to show proof of accident insurance during check-in -- contact your local council service center to obtain this information.  Out of council units will also need to provide a copy of a locally-approved tour permit.

Vehicles and Parking

In accordance with BSA policy and safety regulations, personal vehicles are not permitted in camp. Exceptions are made for adults that have a valid state-issued handicap pass. The parking lot is clearly marked and just outside the entrance to camp. Only emergency and maintenance vehicles will be allowed to park at the Camp Office.  The Ranger staff will haul troop trailers to your campsite upon your arrival at camp; campers are expected to pack in their personal gear. This policy is for the safety of all campers. Parents who might be visiting camp during the week should be made aware of this important policy.  We appreciate your cooperation in parking only in designated areas.

Smoking and Alcohol

Camp Friedlander is a non-smoking facility.  Smoking or tobacco use in front of any camper, leader, or staff member is strictly prohibited.  The only designated smoking area in camp is in your vehicle in the parking lot.  Alcoholic beverages are never permitted on Boy Scout property.  Please help the camp enforce these rules by making sure all leaders and parents in your troop are aware of this policy.
