The 7 C's of Camping
Campers' Code of Ethics
1. Care
We will care how we camp by being considerate of others in our
campground manner.
2. Caution
We will use caution in the use of camping equipment both on the road
and at the campsite. We will handle fire and inflammable fuels so as not to endanger
others or ourselves. We will improve our camping skills, knowing the right way is the
safest way.
3. Courtesy
We will practice politeness because it is the soothing oil which
enhances the camping experience. We will respect the privacy of others, control our
children, leash and pick up after our dogs. We are never so sensitive to others as when
camping - that is why courtesy is so important.
4. Cleanliness
We will be clean in our camping habits and teach our children the
importance of cleanliness. We will pick up litter no matter who left it and be proud of
the campsites we leave behind.
5. Cooperation
We will observe the letter and spirit of camping regulations and
rules established to protect our enjoyment of the outdoors. Since camping at its best is
sharing, we will work cooperatively with others to make it better for everyone.
6. Conservation
We will protect the environment in which we enjoy camping and help
those whose job it is to guard and wisely manage our country's natural resources. We will
endeavor to leave a better outdoors for those who follow us.
7. Common Sense
We will apply common sense to every situation, knowing that reason,
understanding and humor make camping better for ourselves and others. We will practice the
7's Campers' Code of Ethics as the basic rules of more pleasant outdoor living.
