GENERAL RULES
1. Alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and pornography are
prohibited. Anyone found with any of these items on camp property will
immediately be expelled from the camp.
2. Gambling, loud music, profanity, vulgar language or
offensive behavior will not be tolerated. LDS youth are not allowed to bring
face cards, boom boxes or computer games to their summer camps.
3. Youth shall entrust any medications they might take to
their adult leaders on the first day of camp.
4. Modest dress is required, which means no bikinis, short
shorts (no shorts above the knee), halter or crop tops, or see-through clothing.
5. Youth under age eighteen shall have adult supervision at
all times, especially when swimming or boating.
6. Overnight facilities will not be rented to unmarried
couples or to "co-ed" groups.
7. Park only in designated areas and keep access roads and
fire lanes clear.
8. No moving parking barricades to access cabins or
campsites.
9. No running or playing around the caretakers’ house.
10. No pets are allowed in
camp.
11. No hunting on camp property.
12. No concealed weapons.
13. No firecrackers or explosive devices allowed in camp.
14. Guests shall obtain necessary state or federal licenses
or permits for shooting, fishing, etc.
15. Report accidents or emergencies to caretakers
immediately.
16. No swimming, boating or hiking without a
"buddy."
17. All guests must wear approved life vests
when using boats.
18. All guests shall provide their own
lifeguards.
WATERFRONT SAFETY
Groups, individuals and families must provide their own
lifeguards and water safety equipment for all waterfront activities. Group
leaders must give the caretakers a schedule of their boating and swimming
activities at the time of registration. The fees for summer camps will cover
boat and equipment rentals; individuals and families will pay a separate rental
fee if they wish to use camp equipment.
All campers will wear lifejackets
when boating or working on the waterfront. Children under the age of
ten shall wear lifejackets whenever they are near the lake. Small children and
people with health problems are advised that swimming in the lake can be
hazardous since the water is cold enough to cause hypothermia.
Again, youth under the age of eighteen must be supervised at
all times, especially around the waterfront. Youth cannot go swimming or boating
without being accompanied by an adult. Adults shall not go swimming or boating
alone, but shall always have a "buddy." All campers should follow the
procedure of telling someone on shore or at the campsite where they are going
and when they will be back.
Fishing is allowed at Camp Zarahemla within the restrictions
proscribed by state and federal law. No one may fish off the main dock if other
water activities are going on in the area.
WEAPONS SAFETY
Hunting is prohibited at Camp Zarahemla. Target shooting can
be done in designated areas outside the main camp and is limited to single shot
rifles, black-powder rifles, axes, knives and bows and arrows. Handguns and
concealed weapons of any kind are prohibited (scout regulation pocketknives
excepted.) Weapons shall not be cleaned, loaded, carried or in any way used in
the main camp area but must be stored in locked vehicles outside of the main
camp. Group leaders must give a schedule of their target-shooting activities to
the caretakers at the time of registration for approval. Youth
shall not participate in target shooting without adult supervision.
DEPOSITS
Deposits serve two purposes. The first is
to secure your reservation. The second
is to use the deposit as security against any damage
caused by your party and to assure that the facilities will be left clean.
The deposit, which is equal to the first night's cost of
the facilities reserved, is due within two weeks of making your reservation.
After receipt of the deposit your reservation will be confirmed and a
confirmation letter issued. If the deposit is not received within two weeks, the
space will be made available to other people.
When you check in the deposit will be held as security against any damage
caused by your party and to assure that the facilities will be left clean. In
the event that there is any damage all or part of your deposit will be used to
pay expenses before you leave Camp Zarahemla. You also agree to pay all
costs of damage in excess of your deposit. Assuming there is no damage and the
facilities rented are clean at the time of check out, the deposit will be
credited against the balance due, except on
Sunday. Please note
that the caretakers are not available to check in or check out anyone on
Sunday. The OFFICE IS
CLOSED on SUNDAY. If
you plan on leaving on Sunday you will need to pay your balance on Saturday
night, pay through Sunday night and your deposit will be mailed to you if the
facilities rented are clean and undamaged. Please make sure the site or
cabin is clean when you leave.
Mail reservation deposit checks to:
Camp Zarahemla, 13260 Tieton Road, Naches

Zarahemla. Wording of the agreement which requires that you have your own
liability insurance and will not hold the LDS Church responsible for any
accidents can be read by clicking

the Hold Harmless Agreement, sign it and send it with your deposit.
We request that you print this page and give a
