Check-Out
A valid
student I.D. or Student Recreation Center membership is required
to check-out or reserve equipment. Advance reservations are
suggested and may be made up to one month in advance. Reservations
must be made in person with full payment due at that time.
Reservation cancellations must be made in person at least
one Base Camp business day prior to the requested check-out
day, or your rental payment will be forfeited. Cash refunds
will not be given. Credit vouchers may be issued.
Take the challenge by climbing the wall at the SRC. The 28-foot
high indoor rock climbing wall has adjustable handholds which
may be repositioned to alter the difficulty of the climb!
You don't have to be familiar with rock climbing or have your
own equipment to use the Climbing Wall. All the equipment
you will need is provided. Climbing is allowed only when supervisors
are present. Climbing instruction is also available.
Let the Adventure Resource Center (ARC) introduce you to many
of the unique features of southern Illinois. The ARC Office
is located on the lower level of the SRC.

Penalty Fees
Persons returning equipment after the designated due date

in the same condition as loaned out, fees will be assessed. A charging fees list is available through Base Camp upon request.
Improper Equipment Return
If rental equipment is not returned during Base Camp hours,
an improper return and/or late fee will be charged.

Getting the hang of climbing upside down is easy with the
Climbing Roof System. The Climbing Roof is an inverted rock
climbing facility located under the central staircase in the
lower level of the SRC. Helmets are available for check-out
at the Equipment Desk and must be worn at all times when using the Climbing Roof. No instruction or supervision is necessary.
