     The Ahtus Melder Equestrian Camp is set up very openly, leaving the campers to use their imagination on how best to camp. Melder Camp is very primitive, no water is available, no restroom facilities, please bring your trash out with you and enjoy your stay.

     Boy Scout camp is designated for use by motorcycle campers. The facilities are similar to the Ahtus Melder camp in that no water is available, no trash receptacles, and no restroom facilities.
