Camporee Ticket RESALE Guidelines
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If after reading this notice you decide to buy or sell a resale ticket under your own responsibility and risk, please consider these principles:
1. Never sell your ticket to a person that is not a member of a Pathfinder Club or a Seventh-day Adventist Church.
2. Only buy resale tickets from people you know and trust, that bought their tickets from the official
website (www.camporee.org). READ MORE...
|
|
|
Beware of Scammers
Now that Camporee is sold out, many clubs are still in desperate need of tickets - and they may be vulnerable to scammers. Don't buy tickets from people you don't know or trust. Don't send money to people whose offers seem too good to be true. Please follow the camporee ticket resale guidelines.
Also, as reported by the International Camporee on their Facebook page, "there seems to be a scam pretending to be Pastor Ron asking for gift cards that’s being sent around the NAD. Please ignore, this is NOT PASTOR RON. He would never ask for your funds. Please share this. Thank you!"
|
|
Day Passes
If you live in the United States or Canada, you may purchase single day passes through your club account to ensure that each day pass holder is approved by the club director and has a background check. Guests who have purchased Day Passes must find accommodations outside of the Camporee grounds; no overnight camping will be permitted. A limited number of Day Passes will go on sale beginning April 1, 2024.
Single Day Pass: US$ 75
Day pass holders may park in any open parking lots. View the Camporee Map. Day Pass hours: 6am – Midnight
|
|
|
Solicitation
Each Pathfinder, including staff, is encouraged to look for at least 10 people as sponsors (preferably family and relatives – not necessarily fellow church members). With a donation of $15 or $20 (that’s up for the club to decide), the donor will receive a round camping lantern (with the imprint of both the Pathfinder and BTP logos) as a token of appreciation. Note: No tax receipt will be issued.
Camping lanterns will be available early February 2024. So hurry and order now!
|
|
Note: Volunteer tickets are still available. Interested individuals who are willing to do 8 hours per day of volunteer work are urged to register via www.camporee.org or https://s2.goeshow.com/cye/ic/2024/volunteer_application.cfm .
Prerequisite: Submission of Vulnerable Sector Check or Background check.
|
|
|
Medical Breathing Devices (CPAP)
At each Camporee there are individuals that use special breathing machines while they sleep. We are suggesting you bring your own power source such as a battery pack breathing unit, as there is no special camping area just for breathing machines. A large percentage of the campground has electrical power outlets in camping areas.
Anyone with this type of need should contact Vern Byrd for possible accommodations. If prior accommodations are not made, you will have to make your own arrangements to stay at a local hotel.

Share Your Talent
Pathfinders with special talents or musical skills are invited to audition for the choir. There are two choirs – a virtual choir and a live mass choir. The virtual choir will sing one piece, and the mass choir will sing two pieces. Mass choir participants must audition for both mass choir songs. The audition deadline for both choirs is May 1, 2024.

Baptismal Challenge
Every Pathfinder club is challenged to come to the Camporee with at least one Pathfinder whom they have studied with and prepared for baptism. Please check out the Bible Study resources that you can use to prepare Pathfinders for baptism.

|
Master Guide Investiture
Sabbath morning investiture applications will be accepted through August 3, 2024. Only Master Guides will be invested at the Camporee. All investiture applications received prior to June 16, 2024 will receive the commemorative pin and certificate at no cost.
All applications received from June 16 through July 23, 2024 will need to pay $10.00 for their certificate & pin at the AdventSource booth.
All investiture applications received after July 23, 2024 will still be eligible for Investiture while at the Camporee, however, we will only provide a pin and certificate if you request them at the AdventSource booth. The cost will be $12.00.
A certificate and commemorative pin will still be available to you, however. They will be mailed to you after the Camporee is over.

Camporee YouTube Channel
Pathfinder-related videos will be uploaded to the Camporee YouTube channel from time to time. Thus, you are encouraged to subscribe (or remain subscribed) to our channel by clicking HERE.
