Camping Hints

 

The Outdoor Code

Camping Hint Links


It's the only one we have!

As an American I will do my best to:

  • Be clean in my outdoor manners.

  • I will treat the outdoors as a heritage.

  • I will take care of it for myself and others. 

  • I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways. 

  • Be careful with fire, I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where they are appropriate. When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is cold-out. I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.

  • Be considerate in the outdoors, I will treat public and private property with respect. I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping. 

  • Be conservation-minded.  I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. 

  • I will urge others to do the same.
