Site Rules & FAQ's
Sorted alphabetically instead of by level of importance.
Alcohol
The legal drinking age in the state of Vermont is 21. We have
a zero tolerance policy for underage drinking.
Really. If you choose to drink you are still responsible for your
actions, and actions that pose a danger, or are hurtful to yourself or
to others, will not be tolerated and could result in expulsion from the
event without refund. We don't want to lose the right to use
Camp Farnsworth.

Children
Camp
Farnsworth is a 100+ acre partially wooded site located in a remote
rural area with a large of body of water and a major highway
at its
edge. For the safety of
the children, we require that those under 5 be with a parent or
guardian, and that children between the ages of 5 and 12 be within
sight/sound of a parent or guardian at all times. Parents/Guardians are
responsible for the behavior of their children. Chronic non-compliance
with this policy may result in the parties involved being asked to
leave the site without a refund.
Also, Minors attending with an adult other than their parent
or legal guardian are REQUIRED to present both a notarized medical
consent form and a minor's release form signed by their parent or legal
guardian. These forms are available at:

Dining
The Dining Plan provides breakfast, lunch and a simple feast on both
Saturday and Sunday. Those guests choosing to be a part of the meal
plan will be expected to help set up, or cook, or clean up for one
meal. This is to allow everyone a part in the shared experience and not
trap anyone in the kitchen for the whole weekend. A 6-meal
dining experience at a camping event is an unheard -of
luxury! We expect the available seats to sell out, so don't
count on purchasing them at the gate. Send payment to secure
your dining reservation. Unpaid reservations aren't
reservations at all and will be bumped in favor of paid ones.
Payment by May 15 will be appreciated!
Fires must be contained in a raised brazier. No firewood is available for sale on site, but can be obtained from the convenience store located in the Village of Thetford, at the bottom of the hill to the right as you exit from camp. Please do not cut or use any wood belonging to the camp.
Parking and Off-loading
After unloading your vehicle, please move it to one of the parking
areas designated on the site map.
PETS
Unfortunately the policy of the Girl Scout Council of
the Green and White Mountains does not allow pets except for service
animals and animals integral to the reenactment to attend Panteria
XVII. Thus horses for the equestrian competitions are
allowed, but other pets are not unless they meet the criteria
above. The Camp Ranger makes this determination, not the
autocrat. So if you want to make the case that your pet is
integral to your persona and your reenactment , we will forward the
request to the Ranger who will give you an answer.
Quiet Hours
With consideration for the families that will
be camping at Panteria, quiet hours will begin at eleven.
Please continue to enjoy your friends but be considerate of those
around you.
Showers
Two shower houses with hot running water are available for the use of
our guests. Please be considerate of time and hot water when it is your
turn.
Smoking
Smoking is allowed outside and in private campsites only. Out
of respect for the Girls Scouts who allow us to use
their camp, please be sure to clean up all butts.
Site
Tokens
Site tokens need to be worn so they are visible at all times.
Swimming
Panther Vale’s policy is that the site ends at the
water's edge. We do not provide lifeguards and our insurance will not
cover swimmers. Therefore, swimming is at your own risk.
Water
Potable water spigots are located in several locations around the site,
and will be indicated on the site map in your program.
Weather
Springtime in Vermont often has extremes in
temperature. It has been known to be 90 degrees F during the day some
years ... it has, also, been known to be 30 degrees F overnight.
Please, for your own comfort, pack with either of these extremes in
mind. We want everyone to have a good time.
Trash
Removal
Please leave your campsite as clean as you found it.
Containers for your bagged trash will be found around the camp.
