Fishing Policy

No live bait except worms and nightcrawlers may be used in Lake Courage at any time. Fishing is not permitted in any swimming areas or from any boating docks. Lines should not be cast towards swimming area ropes or any type of floating device anchored for marking, safety or direction. Fishing is not permitted from boats unless part of a coordinated camp program. All fishing is catch and release.

Firearms, Archery and Boating Equipment

Heritage Reservation provides all firearms, archery, and boating equipment for our programs. No personal equipment is allowed in camp. There are no exceptions to this policy. Outside boats are not permitted on Lake Courage due to the danger of cross-contamination with invasive water species such as algae swarms and river snot.

Alcohol is strictly prohibited on Heritage Reservation property. Violation of this policy will result in dismissal from camp with no opportunity for a refund. All buildings at Heritage Reservation are tobacco-free.
