Make a Reservation
  1. Make an application for use, where you will describe the work that you will do and the permits that you will need.
  2. Make a reservation for the specific dates and facilities you will need. If you are making repeat visits for the same project, you can skip step 1. Reservations will be reviewed by DSC staff. If you have a large group, please complete the Group Roster Form and include it in your reservation request.
  3. After receiving confirmation from the DSC staff, send full payment to the DSC Office prior to arrival.

Occupancy at the DSC tends to be highest on weekends during the cooler season (October-April). To ensure availability, make your reservations as soon as you know your dates and do so at least 2 weeks prior to your activity.
