COTTAGE OWNERS -- The drinking age limit at all Camp facilities is 21 years of age - same as state and federal laws. Our bartenders are Basset certified and have been instructed to card anyone they feel looks under 30 years of age. We suggest you carry your driver's license (not picture copies) with you to Camp events and if asked to provide an ID, do so. To not provide an ID when requested means you will not be served.
We gladly welcome your furry pets to Turner Camp and encourage you to exercise them around the premises. We do need you to pick up after your pets. We have been having a real problem on the A-field with animal droppings and our kids using the Afield for daily activities. Please bring a bag with you and clean up after your pet. We have garbage cans around Camp where you can deposit your pets' waste. Also, no dogs allowed at the Camp Fires and other Sanctioned Camp activities. While you may love your pets, not everyone is comfortable around animals and we ask you respect their feelings as well. Thank you
After further discussion within the Camp Committee, we have voted to allow parking along the road in front of the tennis courts. The pool parking lot continues to be overcrowded, in spite of efforts to limit parking in that lot. To ensure the cottage owners in that area and Beer Mountain have accessible parking, the area from the Pool Parking lot over the road to the kennel is now designated parking.
PENNY SOCIAL - With the long holiday weekend over, we will now start collecting items for Penny Social. Yay!! Please leave your items outside the single door leading into the dining room. Not in the candy store area. We will be checking daily for your drop offs. We are also asking, please no drop offs the day of (if possible). Penny Social is Friday evening 7/18. any questions contact Barb Litza 847-366-5208 or Chris Mostyn 847-361-3367. Thanks!!

YOUTH - Hello Turners! It’s Keith and Ally, your 2025 Program Directors. This week has been so much fun for all our campers!

Everything is coming together and getting ready for the show! Thank you to everyone for making this week go by smoothly, and we cannot wait for Watershow this Saturday at 6pm!
