Check-in
Check-in Building: The check-in building is located at the entrance. This facility is used to greet visitors to the camp, provide directions, and issue parking permits. All visitors should be prepared to stop at this building to sign in to camp. Once signed in, visitors will be directed either to their assigned campsite or to the Headquarters. Any issues should be handled by the campmasters located at the check-in facility or by the camp ranger.
Rangers / Campmasters: Bovay Scout Ranch is served by a camp ranger in residence and additional rangers as needed. If you need assistance, contact one of the rangers. During most weekends, there will be one or more campmasters, volunteer leaders providing additional support to the ranger. The camp masters are located in the check-in building near the entrance to the ranch.
Parking: Tellepsen Scout Camp has been designed to minimize driving on the site. Once personal vehicles have been checked in at the camp entrance, drivers will be directed to the appropriate unloading area for their campsite. All vehicles must have a vehicle pass. These are available upon arrival at check-in. Once unloaded, vehicles will be parked at the main parking lot just south of the climbing tower, and remain there during camp activities. There is a small parking spot at each campsite where an emergency vehicle and unit trailer may be parked during camp. The camp trail system and facility layout provide for foot traffic to all camp activity locations. Adults or scouts with mobility concerns should coordinate with the camp director for assistance in meeting transportation needs. Speed Limits are 25 mph on main roads. Vehicles must stay on roads at all times.
Departure procedures: Check-out is no later than 12:00 pm on Sundays. Ensure the campsite, restrooms, showers, and pavilions are undamaged and clean, and that all gear and trash are removed. Scouts should conduct a police line, where Scouts stand within arm’s length of each other and walk the entire campsite, picking up all trash. Ashes from campfires should be removed from the fire rings and disposed of in ash barrels next to dumpsters.
