ATTENDING VS. NON-ATTENDING CAMPOUT
Campout is broken into two categories: attending campers and non-attending campers. In either case, campers must be an active graduate or professional Duke student to participate.
NOTE: Read carefully for significant updates regarding the non-attending policy.
Unable to attend campout that weekend? Won’t be able to make most of the checks? No worries, the non-attending campout option is for you! Non-attending campers will complete the same registration form as attending campers, but will not have to participate in any aspect of campout weekend or check-ins. However, non-attending campers will have their own set of tasks and a separate lottery system to participate in. Registration as a non-attending camper will automatically get you 1 entry into the non-attending lottery.
NON-ATTENDING LOTTERY
In the weeks leading up to campout, non-attending campers will have the opportunity to gain up to 3 additional entries, for a maximum of 4 total entries into the non-attending lottery.
These additional entries can be earned either by attending any Duke Women’s Soccer, Men’s Soccer, Volleyball, or Field Hockey home games up until Saturday, October 5th, or by participating in one of our numerous community service events that will take place in the weeks leading up to campout. At least 1 of these 3 additional entries MUST BE A COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENT. Without community service, you may only receive a maximum of 2 additional entries. NOTE: Receiving all 4 non-attending lottery entries will not result in better lottery odds than being an attending camper, but will give the same lottery odds as the average attending camper.
Prior to attending a community service event, you must register for the event using the registration form which will be sent out to the listserv at a later date.
To receive your additional lottery entry for your participation in either a sporting event listed above or community service event, you will need to fill out and submit the proof of attendance form which will be sent out at a later date.
This form will require that you submit a picture of yourself with a clearly distinguishable background and unobstructed view of your face as proof of attendance, and a picture of your Duke ID for proof of identification.
Here is the list of community service events which you will be able to register for to fulfill the community service event requirement:
Additional information about the community service opportunities will be sent out from the Co-Chairs to the listserv and will include exact dates, times, and locations as well as the community service registration form. Once that information is sent out, please register for the community service event(s) of your choosing. There will be limited enrollment for many events, and therefore will be staffed on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you register but cannot go, please email the co-chairs immediately to notify us of this change.
