Carbondale Middle School

Carbondale, IL 62901

the main lodging site map
The facility is air conditioned.
Pitching tents is not allowed directly in
front of the entrance to the main lodging site
because we need to have open support vehicle
access to
load & unload
event support gear and supplies. We had a problem
in the past where a participant's bag got run
over
when
we
were
moving support vehicles at night and we don't
want that to happen again.
The lights in the hallways outside the gym are
motion activated and stay on for at least 20
or 30 minutes. In other words if anyone goes
to the bathroom or gets a drink of water in the
middle of the night the lights will go on. We
have looked into it and there is no way to turn
these lights off since they are hard wired security
lights. Therefore evyone will stay in the main
gym and not in the commons area.
