During Camp
EMERGENCIES – H. E. Butt Foundation Camp staff live on the property and are available to assist in the event of emergencies. Emergency procedures are posted by every phone.
TRASH & RECYCLING – Please make every effort to minimize solid waste generated by your activities. Plan to separate and recycle as much as possible. The rest of your trash can be deposited in our dumpster which is located off the main camp road about 500 yards inside the front gate. Be sure that one of your vehicles has a 2″ trailer hitch to haul the trash trailer we provide for your use at each campsite. Please plan to take recyclables home with you. Bring large plastic liners to use in the trash cans provided.
VISITORS and RESTRICTIONS – We are unable to accommodate family reunions, picnics, tourists, visitors, drop-ins, sight-seeing tours, or day-trips. We do not allow tent camping, trailers, RVs, ATVs, dirt bikes, pets, alcohol, weapons, or fireworks. Smoking is not allowed inside the buildings. Please note these restrictions as you plan your program.
FISHING – Campers 17-64 years of age must have a fishing license. Unattended lines, trot lines, spear fishing, and seining are not permitted. Please honor our catch-and-release policy. Bait is not available at camp; please plan to bring your own fishing gear and bait.
CAMPFIRES and FIREWOOD – Each campsite has a specific area for small campfires. Please plan to bring your own firewood. Please do not allow your group members to gather firewood or create new fire sites. Occasionally burn bans are required due to dry conditions. Call the camp office just prior to coming to confirm conditions.
NOISE LEVEL – If your program includes amplified music, please respect the “retreat experience” for other campsites.
