Information and Directions

Base access requirements (if dropping off or coming to graduation)

The driver needs a current and valid driver's license (identification-type card) in hand. 

• Digital licenses may not be accepted and may result in a long wait time for approval. Bring your physical driver's license identification-type card.

Other adult passengers may need a valid picture ID card.

Command Duty Officer

All instructors remain at the camp 24 hours per day.  A nighttime Command Duty Officer is awake at the camp overnight.  The phone number will be listed at the bottom of all website pages (see below).  It will be activated closer to camp commencing.

This phone is for nighttime emergencies only. 

• It will not be monitored on arrival or departure day.  Please do not call for directions or late arrivals. Contact your Senior Naval Science Instructor.

• It will NOT be monitored continuously during the working day. 

No visitor policy

Please note that cadets cannot receive any visitors at the camp at any time until after graduation.

All early departures or emergencies should be coordinated with the cadet's Naval Science Instructors from their school.  Please contact them first. Cadets departing early will not normally return,  complete, or graduate from camp.
