Camp Holaka Sportsman's Policy

All members of a hunting party who are Friends of Scouting (FOS) members (minimum $200.00 donation) may hunt on Camp Holaka property. All hunts must be pre-registered at the Camp Holaka Office a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the hunt. The number of hunters in your party and their names need to be included in your reservation. A maximum of 20 hunters will be allowed on camp property at one time.

Upon check-in at Camp with the Camp Ranger, each hunter must register his/her buck tag and they will be assigned a camp permit and hunting area. Each hunter is responsible for staying in his own assigned area. If you wish to change your assigned area, the Camp Ranger must be notified. Violations of this rule will result in the permanent revoking of your hunting privileges at Camp. All hunters must fill out a “Hold Harmless” agreement.

Camp is closed to unit camping during firearms hunts.

Cabin rentals and tent camping are available for use. Cabin rental reservations and fees must be made through the Camp Holaka Office at 810-664-4063. Cabin rental fees for the period of November 15th to December 1st are available at the Council Service Center: 810-235-2531.

All other hunt seasons and fishing permits are issued at the discretion of the Camp Ranger to Tall Pine Council Friends of Scouting members or registered Scouters.

Fishing permits are not available during the operation of Summer Camp without the Camp Director’s approval.

Attention all Packs, Troops & Crews - Want to do some service for Camp?

There are numerous projects both big and small at Holaka and Tapico that can be done by Scouts and Scouters, young and old! However, there is also a process to approve all projects before you start.

Download the project approval form from the “Camps” tab on the left hand side of the Tall Pine Council website homepage (www.tpcbsa.org). Fill it out and submit a copy to the Scout Service Center (keep a copy for yourself). It will then be reviewed by the properties committee which meets on the first Thursday of each month. If approved, bring your copy with you for the Rangers to sign off on when the project is done.

This process will help us keep track of the materials and labor done at our camps, and make sure that volunteer efforts are in line with the long-term strategic plan for Council Camp Properties.

What can we do, you ask? Take pride in your Council Camps, and live the Scout Oath and Law! Contact the Camp Rangers for ideas of projects that may be suitable for your Scouting unit. There are many projects that will always be needed: Painting, campsite clean-up, roofing, trail maintenance, waterfront clean-up, dock repair, sign painting & maintenance, construction projects, demolition, mechanical work and more.

Do you have ideas and suggestions for the maintenance and improvement of our camps? Let us know, we want to hear from you.
