Updated February 4, 2012
Here are frequently asked questions about Camporama pertaining to our District. Contact the District Director, Cmdr. Greg Scott or the Ass't. Camporama Event Coordinator, Cmdr. Steve Steffel for specific details or with any questions.
Do I need to register with the District in addition to the National registration?
Yes. Each person attending the National Camporama must register directly with the National office as well as with their District. There is a $25 registration fee with the District in addition to the National Camporama fee. District registration forms and fees should be sent directly to Cmdr. Greg Scott at 400 Eagle Nest Drive, Camden, DE 19934 within 1 week of registering with the National office, but no later than June 27th.
What is included with my District registration fee?
The District registration fee will cover, but is not necessarily limited to, such things as the District commemorative hatpins/tokens, give-a-ways, insurance for traveling to and from the Camporama as well as during the Camporama, materials and supplies for the District archway, flag, banner and encampment, materials for District spirit, promotional materials provided to sections and outposts, and contribution toward the new Camporama climbing facilities, as well as other miscellaneous costs incurred.
When can we check in on-site?
Check-in begins on Sunday, July 8th, at 1:00 p.m. Unless you are on District Camporama Staff, you will not be allowed to enter the campground prior to that time. Prior arrangements need to be made with the District and National office if you need to be on-site prior to that day and tim. Upon arrival, you will be directed to the registration office at the Eagles Lodge, located in the Eagles Resort area. Each person will need to check in. One person cannot check in the entire group. You may then proceed through the secure campground entrance to our district area to set up your campsite. A District and/or Region representative will be present to direct you to your camping area. Our encampment will be laid out in an orderly and safe fashion and you will be shown where to locate your tents by the camp coordinator. Campsites/tents should be set up no later than Monday afternoon, July 9th. The first activity is Monday's Grand Opening Rally on July 9th.
Will there be any District transportation available?
No. Unfortunately, we have not been able to generate enough interest to make getting a charter bus economical. However, if your outpost is planning on attending the 2012 National Camporama and transportation is a problem, please contact Cmdr. Steve Steffel as soon as possible and he will try to assist you in hooking up with an outpost that has room to take additional persons to Camporama. We cannot guarantee transportation, but will make every effort to accomodate requests.
Will the District carry insurance to cover me during National Camporama?
Yes, the District will provide insurance coverage through the Special Markets Division of Brotherhood Mutual that will cover each person during the trip to and from Camporama as well as during their stay at Camporama. However, each outpost should check with their church to make sure they also have the proper insurance to cover your group for the trip.
I want to help. Will there be opportunities to volunteer at Camporama?
Yes. Our District is required to provide a minimum of 22 persons who can volunteer their help during the Camporama. Each person attending the Camporama with our District will be required to serve at least one, four hour shift during the Camporama. Assignments will be made once you arrive at Camporama.
