NOMADS AGENCY CAMPING

GUIDE

2008


 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS

 

The agencies listed in this brochure have offered their facilities to NOMADS who are "traveling through".

Some of them list charges for parking and others do not. Most ask that a phone call be made prior to arrival for reservations.

There will be times when the facility is being used by other agency guests -- even full with a NOMADS project In session.

NOMADS should be thoughtful of the property and the Program that might be in progress while parked at the agency. You should not ask the agency for mail forwarding or other services that are usually provided when projects are at the agency. Please be sensitive to the situation and stay only as long as you comfortably fit into what’s going on at the current time.

When you call for permission to park be clear about the time that you wish to park and ask the agency specifically when they would like for you to depart.
