Short Term Camping

Did you know that Hohn Scout Reservation is open for unit camping all year long? All you need to do is make a reservation by completing an Application for Short-Term Camp Usage form. Even better: when you use this form to reserve a weekend at camp, you do not have to file a tour permit. The form has recently been redesigned, and is posted on the Council and Camp websites. The new form is identified as v1.3 and is the only version that will be accepted after January 1st, 2009. All camp usage requests must be made by submitting this form at least two weeks prior to the event. Prices are subject to change and are reviewed each spring by the Council Camping Committee.
