Nope. Not unless you want to go home early. Campers are not permitted to bring pets, alcohol, tobacco, electronic cigarettes, fireworks, illegal drugs, firearms, or other weapons with them to camp. Personal sports equipment, such as a soccer ball, fishing pole, a small pocketknife or frisbee, is permitted. Equipment for specialized activities such rock climbing, canoeing or horseback riding, will be provided by Camp Hanover or the activity provider. Campers may choose to bring their own archery equipment. Archery equipment must be turned over to the Archery Instructor upon arrival at camp. Campers may choose to bring their own backpacks for offsite hiking trips. Campers bringing bicycles to camp must bring a helmet and wear it while riding. Campers who are of driving age and transport themselves to camp in a personal vehicle must lock their vehicle and surrender vehicle keys to the camp director upon arrival.
Can I bring my pet ferret, my shotgun or a six-pack of beer to camp?

Doug is passionate about Presbyterian camp ministry and brings with him a wealth of experience and creativity in his role as Executive Director.

In addition to his passion for “all things camp,” Doug has a passion for pizza, and makes a pretty mean homemade, from-scratch pie that rivals any you’d find at your local pizzeria.
