Crews live in single-occupancy tents or dormitory-style housing during the field season. They typically camp in a State or County Park, or a natural spot near the project site in the summer and early fall. When evening temperatures begin to plummet in the fall, we provide indoor housing for our crews.

The crews will always have access to toilets at the project site or at camp and most State Park campsites have direct access to showers. For camping without showers, crews will usually shower at a nearby community center once or twice a week. Camp showers might also include a shower that is placed inside a privacy tent near the campsite. In rare cases, like at Isle Royale National Park, showers are only accessible during off-days because the crew is located in a remote part of the wilderness area.
