Notice To Parents of SF Campers:
Scott-Free does not provide transportation. It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to provide transportation to and from camp.
Scott-Free is not responsible for any outstanding debts incurred in the camp store by any camper. We encourage parents/guardians to have conversations with their camper about spending limits and expectations at the camp store. Please ensure that your camper is aware of the amount of funds available during their stay prior to their arrival and inform the camp store if you prefer that no extended credit be issued to your camper without prior permission.
