2. Our team is called C or CHS Varsity Cheerleaders and we are on site #2. When you arrive at the track look for Mrs. Lear, Mrs. Butts or Mrs. Ryan who will have a map of the field and will direct you to our site. We are on a pie-shaped site near the stage for our activities during the day. Our tents will be pitched on the corresponding site #2 which is directly down the center of the field behind our pie-shaped site. You may decorate your campsite with any theme.
3. Some specific Relay rules:
-No open fires or flames or candles or tiki torches are permitted at the campsite. A flame in a totally enclosed case is permitted. So, bring a flashlight!!!
- No smoking or alcoholic beverages on school property.
- No pets permitted.
- Only team members who have registered are permitted to sleep in our tents.
- Only team members who have registered for the Relay are permitted to swim in the pool. A one-time, all-day charge of $2 is required to swim which permits you to swim as often as you like during pool hours: 12 noon to midnight. All CHS pool rules apply.
- Every team/campsite will have a BFI can for trash disposal. It is mandatory each team maintains a clean campsite. Each team is required to donate 15 minutes during the Relay and walk the grounds, parking lots, track to pool area and pick up litter. Please see Mrs. Veri (Crafton teacher) and choose our 15 minute clean-up period.
- There will be a fire truck/hose providing a cool spray for those who walk the track during the "sun" hours. The water spray will arch over the track near the tennis courts.
- There will be a catholic midnight mass on the softball field. This mass will satisfy all catholic Sunday mass obligations. You may invite everyone and anyone to attend the mass. After mass we will be selling waffles, coffee and orange juice. Another team will be selling omelets, so we need to push the waffles!!!
- There will be an ecumenical service at sunrise on Sunday AM, exact time to be determined on Friday evening. All are encouraged to attend. Last year only Mrs. Lear and Mrs. Butts attended while others were tearing down their campsites. This year no team is permitted to tear down until 8:00 AM. The final lap is 9:00 AM when Relay profit and team totals are announced.
- During Relay if you have spare time, see Mrs. Veri and volunteer to help fill luminaria bags for the 9:00 PM luminaria celebration. This is truly beautiful.
- At the time of the luminaria celebration, a bagpiper will lead the lap while the names in honor and memory are announced. At this time all "fun" activities should cease at each campsite and devote all attention to the luminaria celebration.
