Always use stairway when going to or from the beach area. • There is considerable poison ivy in camp so you should learn to identify it and show it your girls. • Do not move mattresses around from site to site.

Cars are not permitted in the units. Help us maintain this fragile bluff area by parking in the lower parking lot only. One car may drive into the upper lot to unload food and equipment but must then park in the lower lot with the others. Troops using the Woodlands and Newport units may pull off the road to unload heavy equipment or food, but then must move to the lower lot.
