Camp Rules
When The Light Company sets up an 18th century military camp at an event, we are there to educate and entertain the public. We also want to have a fun and safe weekend. The following camp rules are meant to accomplish these goals.
- Soldiers. you are portraying an 18th century military man. ACT LIKE ONE! Campfollowers, the same applies
- Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for them.
- Soldiers MUST be in camp and prepared by 9 AM. If you are eating breakfast in camp, be there by 8 AM.
- While "on parade", the camp must be authentic! NO ANACHRAONISMS PLEASE!
- If your tent is open, it must be 18th century. If it is not 18th century, keep it tied shut.
- All personal equipment is to be kept in a tent or box when not in use. If it is borrowed equipment, please keep track of everything.
- The officers need to know where you are at all times. You must notify the officer or guard on duty where you are going and how long you will be gone. Return to camp immediately when you hear assembly played.
- All soldiers will pull guard duty.
- Camp chores: Water, wood, camp clean up, etc., will be assigned on an as needed basis. Everyone takes a turn!
- Those who cook the meals don't clean up the mess. Please take your turn cleaning the camp dishes. You are responsible for cleaning your own eating utensils.
- Food cost is $2.00* per meal. You supply your own liquid and any special food.
