First and foremost, the legal drinking age in the United States is 21. US laws are quite strict about this and if you are caught underage drinking you could face legal retributions. If you are of legal drinking and smoking age, each camp will have its own rules and policies regarding these matters. For the most part, you will not be allowed to smoke on camp property. Please keep in mind that if you break any camp rules, you may be fired.
