Re: Camping in "Krzyzewskiville"

The "Sixth Man" is important to the success of Duke Basketball and camping at Krzyzewskiville" has become a Duke tradition. In order to reduce hazards and provide a safer environment, we have developed the following safety regulations. By adhering to the few restrictions listed below we hope to improve your chances to return next year to camp again. Also listed are several accommodations to ease the impact of these restrictions. We hope that camping at "Krzyzewskiville" will continue for the next 50 years at Duke University.

Good luck, safe camping and "GO DUKE"!
