Administrative Items
Reserve a Cabin
Cabins
are reserved rapidly, so if you are thinking about attending Family Camp,
it is prudent to act quickly. Use the forms below to see the current
site reservations chart, and reserve a cabin for yourself.
Check-In Procedures
Families are welcome to check-in after 12:00 noon on Sunday. Upon arrival
at Family Camp each family is expected to check in at the Camp Director's
office which is located in Stumpp Cabin. The Stumpp Cabin is the first
building you encounter when entering the Family Camp parking lot. Here
the director and his staff will greet you and quickly and courteously
get you settled into your cabin.
At check-in all rental fees must be paid in full. If
possible try to have all rental fees paid advance of your arrival. This
will expedite your family getting settled.
The following items should be brought to check-in:
- Greater New York Councils Counter Receipt showing all fees you have
paid to date.
- Greater New York Councils, BSA Health History & Examination Form
completed and signed by a licensed physician for each member of your
family and any guest.
- Cash or check to pay any rental balance.
Check-in is a good time to make a deposit on a cabin for
the following year.
Check-Out
Families are expected to check out before 12:00 noon on Sunday.
Telephones
The main number for Ten Mile River Scout Camps is 845-252-2000. Family
Camp's direct number is 845-252-2050 and the Family Camp waterfront is
at 845-252-2051. The pay phone (located outside Stumpp Cabin) is 845-252-9941.
There are other pay phones located in the other camps on the reservation
and at the Headquarters. If you have a son staying in one of the other
camps, a staff person can call that camp from the Camp Office phone.
Mail and Phone Messages
Right outside the Camp Director's office is a bulletin board where the
Family Camp staff puts messages for Family Campers. If the message
is
of an emergency nature, we will go to your cabin and relay the message
in person. Also at the bulletin board is an out going mail pouch.
Mail
is picked up daily, except Sunday, and is delivered to the Camp Director's
office daily, except Sunday. Often the Family Camp Trading Post has
stamps
for sale as well as stationery and postcards.
Camp Rules
At Family Camp, we follow the same rules as
the rest of Ten Mile River, as detailed in the TMR
Leaders' Guide. A
few rules apply specifically to Family Camp, as follows:
Supervision:
The Family Camp Staff are not babysitters. If your child is involved
in a Family
Camp activity, you or a designated adult should be with him/her at
all times.
First Aid: A first aid box is located in Stumpp
Cabin and the camp staff can treat very minor inju-ries.
A smaller first aid box is kept at the Family Camp waterfront. All
injuries, regardless of how
insignificant they may seem to you, should be reported to the Family
Camp staff.
Cabin Occupants: Each cabin can sleep 4 people in bunk beds and due
to fire codes, no more than 5 occupants are allowed per cabin.
