EVENTS AT CAMDEN
There are three events held every year. A Spring
tactical, which is usually held in late April or Early
May, and a Fall tactical which is usually held in late
October or early November. The final event of the year
is an Eastern Front event. It is held in either
February or March. This event is only open to German
and Russian impressions.
The events are held at the Woodland Trails Boy Scout
Reservation in Camden, Ohio. Woodland Trails is a
great place to play! The Scouts are exceptional hosts.
There have been reenactments on the grounds just about
every year since 1981. Our events are held on
approximately 200 acres of rolling hills. There are
many trails and primitive campsites located throughout
the area. All of these campsites are connected by a
road network that crosses the entire camp. This makes
period style camping very easy. "Camping under canvas"
is a great way to further enjoy the living history
aspect of our hobby. There is a barracks style
building that can be used for inclement weather. This
area is also great for vendors. Vendors are always
welcome at any CSC event. Please contact the webmaster
with any questions you may have about vending.
The camp is very vehicle friendly. The road network
not only provides easy access to the campsites but
also plays into most of the scenarios. There is even
an abandoned county road that runs through the camp.
On this road is a series of small bridges that make
for great scenario objectives. Every event has its
share of Allied and Axis soft skinned vehicles. You
may even get to see the occasional armored car or half
track.
Ohio is very friendly to NFA weapons. Feel free to
bring your legally registered class III weapon to
Camden. Please note that ALL NFA rules apply at EVERY
Camden event.
THE 2008 FALL BATTLE - CAMDEN EVENT
October 24 - 26, 2008
CAMDEN, OHIO
CONTACT: Tim Ellifritt - ursus529kirby1@juno.com
Scenario will be northwest Europe in the fall of 1944. We will be using a sealed order system as we have in the past. There will be three two-hour scenarios.
You must be 18 years of age to participate at Camden. Our insurance requires this as does the Boy Scouts of America, who own the property. All participants must register and pay the battle fee of $20 (cash only). If you want to stay in the old mess hall there will be a $5 fee. Camping out is encouraged. There are outdoor toilets but there may not be any water, so bring water and TP. There will not be any food served, so plan on that.
Rules of engagement and general safety rules will appear on the battle pass you receive when you pay (it will also serve as your receipt that you have paid). You must have this pass with you at the Saturday S & A inspection. Per BSA rules there will be no alcohol on the property, period. You get caught, you're gone.
The Preble County Sheriff has waived the NFA notification. Address for ATF is:
