Camp Etiquette that applies to ANY camping situation:

1.  Walk, don't run in any campsite.

You don't want to trip on any supporting ropes, poles, or tent stakes.

Knocking down a tent is not the best way to meet your neighbors.

Usually there are plenty of rocks and roots to trip over, walking is safer.

2.  Don't walk through anyone else's camp site, go around.

3.  NO food where you sleep--you don't want bugs!!!

4.  Don't shine your flashlight into another camp site or into anyone's eyes.

5.  ONLY whispers after 2300 (1100 pm).

6.  Go to the bathroom in pairs . . . and PLEASE go if someone in your tent needs you to.

7.  MOST IMPORTANT---sings lots of songs, eat lots of S'Mores, and have lots of FUN.
