Land Use GuidelinesAside from providing the highest quality outdoor experiences, our greatest aim is to treat the natural environment with the utmost respect and to keep it in the most pristine state possible. This includes the lake, the forest, and all of the creatures that live here. Our land use guidelines are designed to protect the integrity of the environment, as well as the safety of our guests, both current and future. We review these guidelines with all of our guests upon arrival at camp. We take these guidelines as gospel and those who contravene them will be asked to leave. |

• Nothing goes into the lake except our boats and our bodies.
• All waste water (dish water, wash water, etc) is disposed of in the soil in the forest, at least 100 paces from the shore.
• Those wearing bugspray, sunscreen, perfumes, deodorants, hair products, or

• Do not leave cigarette butts or burning embers on the ground. A covered can is provided for your extinguished cigarette butts.
