Athletes and their families are not required to camp. In fact, many of our families choose to stay in hotel lodging. However, the majority of our families to camp together, creating a unique bonding experience between teammates and their families. Free camping is provided by the league and most or all venues. Some venues (like Mt. Bachelor) do not allow tent camping. Camping is often in a large open field, where campers huddle together in a slightly chaotic format. Camping is typically on-site or very near the race venue. Porta-potties are also provided.
