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.

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 SUNDAYIf 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.
