Lodging at Camp Rilea What - 10 Bunk beds in Starship Bays (20 beds), 6 bunk beds on duplexes, and single beds in huts. If all beds are spoken for, team carpeted floor space in classrooms will be issued. Who decides where teams are assigned beds or floor space? Your barracks will be assigned by meet management. Every effort is made to allow as many teams/athletes to spend the night at Camp Rilea. It can get crowded. How does a team know if they have beds and/or floor space? Meet management will send coaches this information two weeks prior to the meet. The Rule - ABSOLUTELY No boys in girls' dorms, no girls in boys' dorms EVER! The Other Rule - Do not open the fire exits in the Starship Bays. Another rule is - No food or drink is to be consumed in sleeping areas. Chaperoning.

We have our volunteers taking payment while directing you where to park. Please be patient, these are volunteers and probably one of our SHS Girls' soccer team. Follow these procedures:
Allow plenty of time to get on base and park. You can enter the base beginning at 8:00 AM.
Drivers have your license out and ready to show security personnel BEFORE you turn off the highway to enter Camp Rilea. There is a 100% ID check for drivers. NO exceptions. This is a military requirement over which we have no control. Only licensed drivers are allowed to drive on base, permits are not allowed.
Follow the directions of those people assisting with traffic. Where we are allowed to park on base changes sometimes from previous years. We will have plenty of base volunteers and SHS volunteers to direct you. Please be courteous to them!
Park only in the areas to which you are directed.
Follow the speed limit. 10 MPH when any people are walking along the roads and 20 MPH otherwise

Please make sure any runner on the difficult course is up to the task, the course is very demanding. All team members can run one race. No need to designate varsity and junior varsity. Results Live results can be viewed by everyone at: Results Page Athletes can get their individual results soon after they finish their race by going to the Eclectic results tent in the finish area by turning in their chip and receiving a receipt that shows their individual stats including their time, overall place, and place within their division. Saturday Check out of Camp Rilea Lodging There will be detailed cleaning instructions in each coach’s packet. Do it all.

Some teams make special t-shirts for the occasion. No dressing up, goofy hats, or the like. Respect the race and your competitors. Viewing Races #1 For many people Clear Lake AKA “mud pit” is a favorite place yet getting there is a bit of a walk and it is almost impossible to get back and watch the finish of a race. No runner or spectator is to go into Clear Lake (mud pit) while a race is in progress. No grabbing, splashing, or otherwise impeding runners. #2 The berm to the east of the starting line. there is a good view of the runners for the first 500 meters and then when they come out of the woods and towards the finish. You will also get the full flavor of the Last Regiment Drum Corps. #3 The road to the east of the start line then an easy walk to the Finish line. get the full flavor of the last regiment Drum Corps plus time to get something from the concessions.
