1.)  All members must be 18 years of age to participate with firearms.  If you do not meet the age requirement, there are many other fun and exciting things to do in and around the camp.

2.)  Reenacting requires that the participants are in good physical health.  We spend many hours a day doing drill and "fighting" battles out on the field, so you have to be able to keep up.

3.)  No one will be granted membership if they are:  a felon with a court record, person advocating the overthrow of the United States Government, or belonging to any communist or hate party group.
