A fun camp out and snow tube weekend on February 28 at NoBeBoSco !
Friday the 13th isn’t just a spooky date on the calendar. It’s also a piece of film history.
The classic horror movie Friday the 13th was filmed at a real place: Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, a Scout camp tucked into the woods of New Jersey’s Kittatinny Mountains.
The lake. The cabins. Even the shoreline where Jason first appears in that unforgettable final scene are still there.
Today, fans can actually visit the camp during special tours. Former campers bring out original-style props and guide visitors through the exact filming locations that turned a quiet summer camp into the legendary Camp Crystal Lake.
