FAQ

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. We don't want to lose the right to use Camp Farnsworth.

Water Bearers

Children
Camp Farnsworth is a full functional and operating Girl Scouts camp settled on Lake Abenaki with woods all around, 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.

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:

Feast
A feast at a camping event is a rare luxury! This feast traditionally sells out, so don't count on getting in at the gate. Send payment to secure your feast reservation. Unpaid reservations aren't reservations at all, and will be bumped in favor of paid ones.

Parking and Off-loading
After unloading your vehicle, please move it to one of the parking areas designated on the site map.

PETS
"Are dogs allowed at Panteria XV?"
In the move to the new site we have unfortunately run into a policy of the Girl Scout Council of the Green and White Mountains. This policy does not allow pets except for service animals and animals integral to the reenactment to attend Panteria XV. Thus horses for the equestrian championship are allowed, but other pets are not unless they meet the criteria above. The Ranger of the camp 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 on to the Ranger and get you an answer.

Showers
There are shower houses avaliable on site. All have hot and cold water running water.

Swimming
Our official policy is that the site ends at the water's edge. We do not provide lifeguards and our insurance will not cover swimmers.

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.
