CAMPING DETAILS FOR RUNNERS AND VOLUNTEERS

All food must be stored in vehicles at night and when you are not at the campsite, zero exceptions. Bears have been seen on the property. Anyone not properly storing food will be kicked out. Bears that get into food are euthanized by CPW and we’re not going to let a bear get killed because a human is an idiot.
