Camp Availability, Reservations, and Confirmations
· We keep a calendar of possible availability dates on our website. Our facilities are available for use throughout the year. However, during the winter (please see calendar for specific dates), camp usage will be limited to day use only to allow us to winterize our cabins and RV campground. This winterizing limits camp usage to Outdoor Facilities, the Dining Hall, and the Gymnasium during this time period.
· Reservations are required for use and cannot be made more than 12 months in advance- we do not allow standing reservations. Tentative reservations can be made by using the online form (preferred method) or by calling the FBA office. Confirmed reservations are secured by completing and returning the necessary forms and required deposits to the FBA office by the stipulated due date.
· As a matter of stewardship, we reserve the right to develop waiting lists for reserved dates to fill cancellations.
