General Information Check in/Check out: There is no ranger residing on camp. Please check yourself in to your unit. If you sleeping unit is normally locked, access information will be sent after your reservation is made and prior to arrival. If you have any questions please call Joe McGinnis, Maintenance Manager at 302-526-9336. As a guest of a Girl Scout property please be sure to follow the motto of “Leave a place better than you found it.” We are expecting that of you and your group. If a site is not in good condition upon leaving we will be in touch with you to either return to clean or may be charged an additional fee for cleaning. Upon departure fill out the Camping Report and Checklist and email to GSCB at [email protected] Off-Site Emergency Contact: During the registration process, you will be asked to provide contact information for an off-site emergency contact. This is required for Girl Scouts groups and recommended for non-Girl Scout groups. The off-site emergency contact should have names and emergency contact information for all participants on the camping trip, be aware of arrival and departure dates and times, and be available to make phone calls in the event of an emergency. All adults in your group that are staying on-site should have the off-site emergency contact’s name and contact information. Specialized Activities: For specialized activities such as Archery, Canoe, Kayaking and Zip Line you must reserve it in advance and make arrangements for the appropriate trained personnel. Telephone: The camp telephone is located in the kitchen of the Troop House. The telephone number is 302-234-6619. The telephone is to be used for emergency calls only. All long-distance calls must be made collect or with a calling card. Equipment: Equipment for the Troop House is stored in the entryway. Equipment for other sites is located at each site. Please be sure to return equipment to its proper place. Trash Removal: All garbage and recyclables must be emptied to the proper dumpsters in the fenced parking lot enclosure. Only clean recyclables (paper, plastic, glass, metal) should be placed into the marked recycle containers. Provide your own kitchen and heavy duty size garbage bags.
Water: Please conserve water as our septic holding disposal costs are a major camp expense. It is recommended that if the water is rusty or seems brackish; let it run for a time to clear the pipes. When the water is not used daily, it collects rust from the pipes. We recommend bringing drinking bottles and refilling them vs. bringing cases of bottled water. Keys: Troop House and Program Center use combination locks (like a real estate lock box). Inside the box will be the key to the door. Please refer to your confirmation email received a week before your camping trip for the access code.
Floors: The wood floors in the Troop House are to be swept using the push brooms. The vinyl floors are to be swept and mopped using water and a SMALL amount of cleaner. (GSCB is responsible for heavy duty cleaning and waxing of the floors.) Windows: Close and lock all windows and doors before leaving. In an Emergency: Call 911 first. Then contact Joe McGinnis, Maintenance Manager at 302-526-9336.
Health Care and Treatment: Please be sure to have the names and addresses of all participants in your party as well as the emergency contact numbers, names and signed permission to treat or seek treatment of all minors in your group. Be aware of any medical concerns such as allergies. Know your groups required treatment, restrictions and other accommodations needed by your party. Place all First Aid and Medical supplies in a safe and secure place. All prescription and nonprescription drugs should S:\Camps\Property Documents\Camp Country Center Welcome Packet.doc 7/08, 8/08, 2/09, 9/09, 9/10, 8/11, 7/13 be kept in a locked until use. All groups must have at least on adult currently trained in FA/CPR from a nationally recognized provider (such as American Red Cross, etc.). Insurance: Be sure that you have the necessary insurance coverage for your stay. Leave no trace: Please do not carve on trees, bunks or buildings and no graffiti please. If you would like to paint or carve on things found in nature, please bring them from home with you and take them when you go. In the event of damage or professional cleaning service needs, your group may be assessed additional fees. During Your Stay
Supervision: You are responsible for your group’s supervision and behavior while on property. Troop Camping Report: ALL troops are responsible for turning in their report by emailing it to GSCB at [email protected] or by forwarding them to Council. This information is VITAL; we need to know if repairs are necessary as well as keeping track of equipment damage and needs. Please do your part and turn your report in. This will enable Troops to have the best camping experience possible. Leave at Home: The following are NOT PERMITTED on Council campsites: Pets Trailers Power Saws Gasoline Lanterns, Stoves or Heaters Alcoholic Beverages Narcotics Firearms Smoking: Smoking is prohibited in all of the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council buildings. Smoking will be allowed in designated outdoor smoking areas only. Please refrain from smoking in the presence of children. Smoke in fire circles only. DO NOT LEAVE CIGARETTE BUTTS IN FIRE CIRCLE. Candles are NOT permitted on camp properties, except for during candle ceremonies. Conservation: Leave moss, wild flowers and other living things growing in their own areas. Do not sweep paths in and around units. Leaves and twigs serve as ground cover and protection from erosion. Do not line paths with rocks. Do not dig holes or trenches on any Council sites. Equipment: All units have standard equipment provided (see “Troop Checklist” for unit inventory). Do not move equipment from one site to another. If you move equipment WITHIN a site, such as mattresses, tables and the like put it back before you leave camp. Fire Circles: A fire circle is available at most units. Do not build fires except in established fire circles. Girls and adults should follow all fire circle safety procedures when a fire is being used. Sprinkle with water and stir with a stick to put the fire DEAD OUT. Leave unburned wood in fire circle and do not remove ashes, unless dead cold. The next camping group or GSCB will decide if ashes need to be removed. Please make a notation on your checkout form if the ash can needs to be emptied. GSCB may limit the building of fires during very dry weather. The fire must be attended to AT ALL TIMES. Disposal of ashes: If your site’s ash can is full, please make a notation on your checkout form if the ash can needs to be emptied. Do not spread the ashes. Wood Supply: USE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED. Replenish enough tinder, kindling and fuel for one fire for the next group of campers. Food and Equipment: Troops should bring their own kitchen equipment. Be sure that EVERYTHING brought to camp is packed when you are preparing to leave. Clean out refrigerators. Dishwashing: If you are a Girl Scout group please remember to use the three basin method of dishwashing. Start with hot soapy water, do a warm rinse and cold sanitizer with (capful of bleach to 1-gallon cold water). Dump rinse water down the sinks provided at the unit. Be sure to clean the sinks out before you leave. Be sure plates are scraped clean before they are put in the dishwater

Disinfecting Mattresses: This procedure is required by the State and County Health Departments. Procedure to follow upon arrival: Wipe each plastic covered mattress with Clorox wipes or other disinfecting wipes. For situations involving a bed wetter: The mattress must be disinfected before leaving camp. Mattresses are to be stored on their side in Adirondack units and flat in the tent units. Visitors: If you are expecting visitors, please let Joe McGinnis, Maintenance Manager at 302-526- 9336 know in advance. Visitors must park their cars in the parking lot, not at the unit. Bathrooms: Clean bathrooms upon arrival at the campsite, each morning and just before leaving the site. • A disinfectant is to be used daily to scrub lids, seats, and floors. • Lids and doors should be kept closed at all times, except during drying period. • An agent to promote the bacterial decomposition process will be added to latrines as needed by GSCB. • Only toilet paper and human waste is to be put in the latrine. • Please provide paper bags for feminine hygiene products to be placed in garbage cans. • Please do not put feminine hygiene products, of any nature, or the paper bags in the latrine. • Toilet paper is to be provided by the group using the unit.
Care of the Tents: Do not use aerosol sprays (deodorant, insect repellent, hair, etc.) in or near tents. They destroy the waterproofing. • Do not use pins in canvas. Pinholes become leaks. DO NOT WRITE ON TENTS. • Loosen guy lines when it rains to offset tent shrinkage. • Do not remove ropes from tents. • Roll platform tent flaps down at least once a day so mice will not nest or chew holes in the tent fabric. • Platform tent door flaps should be tied with a half bow when you leave. Do not tie corners or flaps to beds. • Some platform tents have mats and/or beds. Be sure you leave them as you found them. • All borrowed tents must be swept clean and COMPLETELY DRY before they are returned. Setting metal tent spikes on the wet fabric causes rust and holes on the tent surface A Girl Scout is Courteous: When walking through or visiting other units in camp ask permission and please do not interrupt their program. This is someone else’s home for the weekend. Parents Bringing Campers to Camp: Please make certain that the parents driving your girls to camp know the name of the unit you will be staying in and your Troop number. GSCB is not responsible for towing emergencies should a car be stuck or need service. Please call a local towing service if you need assistance. Curfew: All units must be completely quiet by 11:00p.m. Remember, voices carry at night. A GIRL SCOUT ALWAYS LEAVES A PLACE BETTER THAN SHE FOUND IT. DID YOU LEAVE THE SITE AS CLEAN AND NEAT AS POSSIBLE? WE NEED YOUR COOPERATION!
