Sites

We have facility use contracts with our host sites. Please arrive no earlier than noon, and depart no later than 9 a.m. Note the designated camping areas, and do not set up tents outside these areas.

Please do not contact the schools directly with questions. Contact a PALM staff volunteer.

All sites:

ARRIVAL: Site coordinators arrive first and place signs for camping, restrooms, cafeteria, etc. No participants allowed on site before noon.

Trucks will be opened and unloaded when the site coordinator determines there are enough volunteers to unload ALL trucks. This is typically around 2 p.m. but may vary.

PRIVATE SAG: No access to overnight parking until noon. Park only in the designated Private SAG area. This will be available at the information table. All vehicles must leave the site by 9 a.m.

CAMPING: Camp only in the designated areas. If needed, look for the CPAP signs.

DINNER: If you purchased the meal package at online registration, cafeteria hours are 5-7 p.m. Dinner options may be announced at the previous meeting. Please take only one serving.

MEETING: All participants are encouraged to attend the 7 p.m. meetings, which may cover last-minute updates for the next day’s route. At minimum, please plan to attend Saturday and Thursday, and send at least one member of your group to the other meetings.

QUIET HOURS: Please respect your fellow campers and keep noise down to a whisper between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Earplugs are recommended for light sleepers.

BREAKFAST: Coffee is on at 6 a.m. If you purchased the meal package at online registration, cafeteria hours are 6:30-8:30 a.m. Please take only one serving.

LOADING: You may load your bags before or after breakfast, but please note that the trucks open at 7 a.m. and depart promptly at 9 a.m. You must load your own bags — volunteers are not permitted to load, only unload — so don’t leave them next to the truck.
