By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
JERICHO, Vt. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is now offering housing and meal opportunities to interested competitors at its annual New England Highpower Rifle and Travel Games, set for Sept. 14-20, 2020.
Housing will be located on the Camp Ethan Allen National Guard Training Site (where the event is held) within barracks containing 1-, 2-, 4-, 12- and 24-person rooms. Billets will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Competitors have an option to list roommates on the billeting request form.
The 1-, 2- and 4-man rooms are typically equipped with a small refrigerator, fan and clock. Linens, pillows, blankets, towels and washcloths will not be provided, so please plan on bringing those items. The 12- and 24-person barracks have a TV lounge and small kitchen area, available for use. The charge for all billets will be $20.00 per person, per night. Former and current military can request billeting at the BOQ/CTQ by calling 802-899-7028.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will also be available within the Training Site’s Cram Dining Facility. Breakfast is $7, lunch is $9 and dinner is $12. Given the current national conditions, all meals will be pre-packaged and extra meals will not be prepared – all meals MUST be purchased ahead of the event.
To request housing and/or meals, please fill out the form on the CMP website at https://thecmp.org/l/new-england-hp-rifle-cmp-games-matches-housing-meal-request-form/. All requests must be made prior to the event to allow the necessary time for preparations to be completed.
