Public Camp Manual

As a general rule, improvements should be undertaken in the following order of importance:

1. Clearing and fireproofing grounds.

2. Roads and parking spaces.

3. Water development.

4. Toilet facilities.

5. Garbage disposal facilities.

6. Stoves and barbecue pits.

7. Tables and cupboards.

8. Signs and bulletin boards.

9. Fences.

10. Miscellaneous improvements.

All essential sanitation and fire prevention improvements (items 1 to 5) should be provided before any camp is opened to use by the public.

USE OF WOOD SUBSTITUTES:

In the construction of camp improvements, wood substitutes should not be used where wood can be used to equal, or slightly less than equal, advantage.
