-Alcoholic beverages,

-Disposal of refuse, garbage, trash, etc. outside of designated disposal bins,

-Draining or dumping waste of any kind, except in the receptacles provided for such use,

How do we ship our canoe?

Shipping the canoe will be much like anyone else shipping a package to us. You will address it to us in a specific way (see below) and make sure your carrier has some instructions (we would prefer if it could be delivered with a flatbed or truck with a lift-gate, no package over 2000lbs), and then you will work with me to pick it up when you get here. We will handle it on arrival and take it to the storage location. Once you get here, you can come to unpack it and sign for it… after that, it’s mostly on you to get it to where it needs to go. Some teams rent a truck locally and ship their canoes on a movable platform. We will of course try and help as much as possible but will not be able to help everyone at the same time.

If someone from your university wants to arrive a few days before and unpack the boat (we can work out early arrivals) so that it’s mostly ready when the rest of the team arrives we can talk about that too.
