One is located at the north end of camp by the small meadow, and one is located at the south end of camp by the lower meadow. There is a Kybo/Latrine located within a short walking distance of every campsite. Some campsites are located within view of the Lewis River. No contact with the river, or any other body of water, is permitted. Scouts entering the river or other bodies of water WILL be sent home.
