Camporee Site Location
The Camporee will be held at the Cam-Plex Facilities at 1635 Reata Dr, Gillette, WY. This site is different from where the 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019 International Pathfinder Camporees were held. The Cam-Plex Facilties offer the greatest facilities and campground for the International Pathfinder Camporee.
Campsite Roads, Entrances & Exits
There are 4 exits from the campground camping area that will be patrolled 24 hours a day. Throughout the campground there is an excellent gravel road system to assist in getting around. All campground roads have names to assist in navigation.
Parking Lots
There will be parking lots around the perimeter of the campground for vehicles. Large vehicles (buses, trucks, cargo trailers) need to be parked in the South, North, or Bus parking lots because the East and West gate parking lots are small and will not accommodate a large number of vehicles.
See on Camporee Map.
Campsite Guidelines
Camping Space Delegation
All clubs will be assigned camping space based on the number of paid registrations for Pathfinders, Staff members, and staff children. This information will be available in April/May, 2024, from your Conference Youth/Pathfinder Director.
The campground is somewhat flat with grass and no rocks. Tent camping area is well organized with street numbers so one can find friends from around the world more easily.
Campsite Entrance Heights
Maximum campsite entrance height (Union, Conference, & Club) is forty (40) feet.
Special Note: As you build your entrance, safety must be kept in mind. The entrance must be securely held in place because of wind and camper safety. We do not want accidents due to falling materials.
Cooking
No charcoal cookers or wood burning fires are permitted. Only cooking with gas or propane-type camp stoves is permitted. A fire extinguisher must be kept in each cooking area.
Biodegradable Items
To protect our environment, please only bring items (soaps, cleaners & etc.) that are biodegradable.
Motorized Vehicles
Upon permission from Conference Youth Directors vehicles will be allowed on the campsite. However, you must have all vehicles parked at the Conference/Union campsite before the ending of the evening program on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. After this time NO VEHICLE movement will be allowed on Camporee grounds with the exception of long-term parking which are located at the West, South and North gates only. Please plan accordingly.
Pet Policy

For sites with no electric power hook-ups, generators may be used during the daytime during the following hours: 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

Permission must be received from the Services Director, Vern Byrd, at vern@cye.org before any stake longer than 6″ is driven into the ground because of the underground utilities that cross the property (EAA requirement).
