FILMING LOCATION
Tours & Events

A bucket list item for any classic horror movie fan!

Our guided tours will take you back in time to the famous filming locations at our historic camp in Hardwick, New Jersey, USA. Each small group of fans is led by a member of our friendly and knowledgeable tour staff. These walking tours range in length up to approximately 1 mile and include time at each filming location to take photos and reenact scenes. Please come prepared with comfortable walking shoes and apparel to match the weather forecast.

These tours and events support restoration and maintenance projects at the historic camp as well as support youth camping programs throughout the Northern New Jersey Council, BSA.  Each event is planned, organized and executed by camp alumni who are deeply passionate about preserving the camp experience for generations of youth to come.  Thank you for supporting these causes!
