Novena Camping Form

1. Camping is permitted no earlier than August 6. The last night to camp is August 15. All campers and tents must be packed up by Sunday, August 16.

2. Campers may not be delivered ahead of time. Any campers delivered ahead of time will be towed at your expense. You must stop at the Shrine Office to pick up copies of your registration and permit tags BEFORE entering the campground.

3. The cost of renting a 35 foot X 40 foot lot is $30.00 per day. One lot is permitted to have a maximum of one camper (or tent) and two other vehicles. You may rent multiple lots, but may not exceed the maximum number of vehicles pursuant to each lot. Any other additional cars, trucks, etc. must be parked in the extra spaces along St. Mary’s Avenue which is first come, first serve.

4. When registering, a map of the campsite with all the lots marked off and numbered will be available. You will need to select the lot or lots you wish to rent, and the number of days you will be renting the lot.

5. If families wish to camp next to each other, it is strongly recommended that one person registers everybody or families register at the same time.

6. Once you have paid for the lot(s) you will receive a confirmation email. Before going to your campsite, you must stop at the office to pick up copies of your registration and permit tags.

7. Once reservations for lots are made, no changes are allowed. Selling or “subleasing” of lots is not permitted.

8. There is only one way into the campgrounds and that will be off of St. Mary’s Ave. Signs at the end of the streets or blocking streets are not permitted to be moved to allow campers to come through.

9. You must display the registration form on the front window of your camper/tent and vehicle(s), if applicable. Each day, the campground will be inspected and any vehicles without tags will be required to leave or park in the extra spaces along St. Mary’s Avenue.

10. Agreement: by submitting this form, I agree to the following:
• We are coming here to pray, participate in the novena, and enjoy family time together.
• We will give due respect to all pilgrims and parishioners of Our Lady of Consolation as well as the residents of Carey. Any acts of vandalism, violence, theft, and/or harassment will result in Law Enforcement being called.
• We will keep our lot clean and dispose of all trash in the provided trash containers.
• We will safely burn fires only within our lot area and make sure they are put out before we leave.
• We will not dump sewage or gray water anywhere on or adjacent to OLC property or Carey residents’ houses.
• We will park a maximum of two (2) trucks/cars on our rented lot and park the rest of them in the first come, first serve spaces provided next to St. Mary’s Avenue.
• We will not use any drugs, we will avoid excessive drinking, and we will not play any loud music anywhere on OLC property.
• Scooters, golf carts, and motorized bikes are not permitted on OLC grounds or in the basilica.
• All youth—those under age 18—must be in the campground by 10:00pm.
• I understand that violation of any of these rules, in part or in full, may result in my being asked to leave the property.

By submitting this form, I understand my credit card will be charged for the amount as determined by the nights I am camping at OLC for the Assumption Novena. As I am paying for a “service” (camping on a lot), this payment does not constitute a donation and therefore is NOT tax deductible. Sub-leasing of my reserved lots is not permitted in any way.
I further understand that if I do not camp for any part or all of my reserved dates, NO REFUNDS will be issued.
I must come to the OLC office to pick up my registration tag and permits BEFORE going to the campground.
