Rental Agreement

ERUMC is not a hotel, we are a beloved community camp — that means campsite rules apply. You are the custodians and stewards of this camp. Keep it clean, leave no trace, and make it better than you found it!

We have some rules that don’t usually apply to renting lodging, for our campers’ safety and the camp’s sustainability.
