Campsites

Since the Relay For Life is an overnight event, teams registering by the registration deadline (see our Calendar of Events page to find out when that is) will get a campsite to place their tents, sleeping bags, chairs, etc. for the duration of the event.

Campsites will be assigned as follows.  First and foremost, anyone who has special needs to accommodate in terms of campsite location will be given first priority.  Please let us know as soon as possible if that's the case.  Then, after our May team captain meeting (see our Calendar of Events page to find out when that is), the Planning Committee will calculate how much money each team has raised to date.  The top 20 fundraising "non-youth" teams, and the top 5 fundraising youth teams will be contacted first, and they will get first choice of campsites.  Once those 25 spots have been selected, the other teams will be contacted so they can select their campsites.  One campsite per team.

It is very important to note that teams need to register by the night of our May team captain meeting.  Teams registering after then not only do not get a campsite, but will be asked to leave after the luminaria ceremony.

We will maintain a list of campsite locations and numbers, and which ones have already been selected, on this website for all to see, and to help you choose where you'd like your team's site to be.  Please remember that there are plenty of campsites for everyone.  This is just an incentive to get money turned in as soon as possible.  The sooner you turn in your money, the sooner it can go towards helping survivors!

Then, on the day of Relay, teams can start setting up their sites at 4:00pm.  Each approximately 15'x15' campsite will be numbered, and we will have volunteers to help guide teams to their sites.  Please make sure you and your team understand and follow the Relay guidelines, making special note of the ones that pertain to campsites.
