Tent campers must bring their own tent and gear, cabin campers must bring their own bedding, and Retreat Center guests must bring their own linens, pillows, and bedding, and no maid service is provided. Hammocks are not permitted, tree or cabin tied hammocks are not allowed, and stand hammocks are permitted only for Adventurers who camp with their troop. Retreat Center lodging is restricted to Trailmen with a Registered Adult Parent only, and all attending adults must be current registered members of Trail Life.
Mountain Lion Trailmen are required to have at least two registered adults from their home troop, a parent or legal guardian, or prior agreement from another troop with at least two registered adults to be their acting home troop, and one qualifying adult must be available as a Trail Guide for the Summer Camp Mountain Lion Patrol for at least one day. The leadership contact for camp inquiries is Trephina Bedell at [email protected]. Illinois’ Trail Life Summer Camp states that it is intended to help grow and mentor Trailmen by offering experiences rich in adventure, character, and leadership, with fun, friendship, and learning. Immanuel supports and backs a troop based in Palatine, and Trail Life serves boys and young men from Kindergarten through 25 years old from anywhere in the community.
