When and where is the 2024 reaccreditation, and when do we check in?

The event will take place at Convict Lake, in the Inyo National Forest. The address is 2000 Convict Lake Rd, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546.

How many people can we bring to the reaccreditation event?

To ensure we have the proper resources, and to ensure we do not exceed the number of people authorized by our special use permit issued by USFS, the following limits are established for this reaccreditation.
No more than 12 members of a team may participate in the field tests (i.e., max 12 people on a team for testing)
Each team must also provide two qualified evaluators (i.e., proctors) who will score other teams. These proctors are in addition to the 12 team members allowed in the field tests.
Maximum of 6 additional support members or guests at the event.
Test victims will be supplied separately. Teams do not need to bring additional people for testing. Based on the above, each team can have no more than 20 people at the event.
