Please feel free to give us feedback or volunteer to help make our next event even bigger and better! We are here to assist and to help you & your scout(s) have fun and make memories. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions or give suggestions. Just a small reminder, with the large amount of Scouts at this event; to make this experience the best and safest one, we need your help in following all the rules of camp. This includes those pesky parking and driving ones. Remember they were made with your Scout’s safety in mind. Also be sure to have your medical forms with you. ~ Your Haunted Trail Volunteer Event Staff For the Best Arrival and Departure Experience Please do not block the roads.
