NON-ATTENDING CAMPERS
NOTE: Read carefully to understand how to get non-attending lottery entries
Trapped at a family wedding and unable to attend Campout that weekend? Is your lab supervisor being mean and you know you won’t be able to make most of the checks? No worries! We understand that graduate and professional students have unavoidable responsibilities and are providing a non-attending Campout option! 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. Registration as a non-attending camper will automatically get you 1 entry into the non-attending lottery. Receiving the maximum (4) non-attending lottery entries will not result in better lottery odds than being an attending camper.
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 4th, 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. Again, Receiving all 4 non-attending lottery entries will not result in better lottery odds than being an attending camper.
To increase flexibility and allow non-attending campers more options to contribute to causes they support, this year we are expanding the list of community organizations that are eligible for an additional lottery entry. Information about community service opportunities is available here. Non-attending campers can choose which organizations to volunteer with and should register directly with those organizations. When submitting your proof of attendance, please also include a screenshot of your registration with the organization in addition to a picture from the day of the event so you will receive full credit.
New this year – Non-attending Campers can donate $30 to Team Campout and earn 1 entry into the Non-attending Camper Lottery! This entry will count towards the maximum 4 entries as one of the 2 possible non-community service event entries; you must still complete a community service event to qualify for all 4 lottery entries.
To receive your additional lottery entry for your participation in either a sporting event listed above, community service event, or donating to Dribble For Victory, you must fill out and submit the proof of attendance form below. This form will require 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. After attending community service or one of the listed sporting events, upload your proof of attendance here. Please carefully read the instructions so your entry will count!
