We are super excited to announce that our 2025 event schedule has been released and select tickets are now available for immediate purchase.

Beyond all the great things happening at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, we have also raised funds for Happiness Is Camping during our events since 2019. Happiness Is Camping is a separate local camp that provides a high quality summer camp experience for children with cancer – all at no cost to the camper.

Masks, temperature checks, social distancing… even a bottle of Camp Crystal Lake hand sanitizer for each attendee! Tons of careful planning went into our Summer and Fall 2020 tours. This series of tours included celebrity meet & greets from Part 1 and Part 2 (including Ari’s first return to camp!), canoeing on the lake, evening flashlight tours, costumes on Halloween – and it all wrapped up on a Friday the 13th weekend in November.
The goal of these tours was to replace some of the lost summer camp revenue. If you joined us for one of these 43 tour sessions, we thank you for your support! It was fantastic to meet so many great local fans. We hope you enjoyed your visit.

On behalf of all the volunteer tour guides and the rest of the Scouting community, we would like to thank all of the September 2019 tour attendees for their support and generosity. All profit from the event will go directly towards our restoration projects at the camp.
Our 14th and 15th tours drew fans from 42 states and 7 countries! With 7 cast & crew, this was also the largest reunion since the filming of the movie 40 years ago. Absolutely amazing! We really enjoy providing these experiences and we hope you had a great time during your stay.
We would like to thank each and every attendee for making this event a massive success. You are now part of NoBe’s history which stretches all the way back to 1927. As an ambassador of our tour, please tell your fellow fans about your experience and please discourage anyone from trying to enter the property outside of an official tour. Trespassers on the youth camping property make it very difficult for us to get permission to run these tours. Thanks for your help!
Finally, we would like to thank Adrienne, Jeannine, Robbi, Ron, Harry, Tom, Taso and C and V Promotions for making this event even more special for our fans. The memories from this weekend will certainly last a lifetime. Until we meet again…

Our 11th, 12th and 13th tours drew fans from 39 states and 6 countries! Except for a little rain on Friday morning, the weather was outstanding. We loved watching your reaction to Jeannine opening the shower curtain! We had a great time providing these experiences and we hope you had a great time.

Our 8th, 9th and 10th tours drew fans from 28 states and five countries – covering 4 continents! Except for a little rain on Saturday morning (we dodged Hurricane Michael!), the weather was ideal for October. We’ll certainly never forget seeing Robbi dropped off for the first tour in an Elston Oil fuel truck. We had a great time providing these experiences and we hope you had a great time.

What a weekend! Snow on Tuesday morning, then 81°F on Friday and 80°F on Saturday. Our Saturday overnight campers also had a dose of winter weather – flurries were falling when Adrienne made a surprise visit to our campers in the middle of the night! That didn’t stop them from enjoying a morning canoe ride when it was only 42°F. We then experienced flooding rains here in New Jersey on Monday, so we were VERY lucky.
We would like to thank each and every attendee for making this tour a massive success. You are now part of NoBe’s history which stretches all the way back to 1927.
Finally, we would like to thank both Adrienne and C and V Promotions for making this event even more special for our fans. The memories from this weekend will certainly last a lifetime.

After selling out within seconds, the third ever public tour of the primary filming location of Friday the 13th, Part 1 took place on Friday, November 13th, 2015. The autumn winds were howling, but it was an otherwise perfect day with the sun shining. This was by far the largest tour and once again a great group of fans. “Campers” came from at least 7 different states including California and Florida!
The second-ever public tour of the primary filming location of Friday the 13th, Part 1 took place on Friday, September 13th, 2013. It was another beautiful, sunny day at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco – similar to the day of the first tour. An intense line of thunderstorms had passed through the area the night before and knocked out power to much of the area, but that wasn’t going to stop us from making dreams come true – after all, three of our guests were coming from as far away as California, Ontario and Norway! We quickly found a vendor to deliver porta-potties on short notice, cooked lunch in a dark kitchen and prepared the tour locations for some great photo opportunities.
Everything else that day went very smooth and our guests all left with smiles on their faces – and of course the power came back on while the last guests were leaving! We hope everyone got back home safe and we hope you’ll be able to join us again in the future.
