Rules & Etiquette

1. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied throughout their stay by their legal guardian.
   


2. Since this is a family-friendly event, bottles and cans of alcholic beverages are not permitted on the group festival grounds. If we see you with one, we will ask you to return to your campsite. We will not, however, be doing cup checks. Anyone under the age of 21 caught drinking alcoholic beverages or under 18, smoking tobacco products, will be asked to leave. No refunds will be made.
   


3. This festival is NOT clothing optional. Normal rules of dress must be observed while at the festival. If you do wander around inappropriately garbed, you will be asked to return to your campsite ONCE. Repeat offenders will be asked to leave.
   


4. Pets and familiars are the responsibility of the owner. If your pet is off leash and bothering someone (including someone else's pet), you will be asked to put the animal in a travel box or leash it. If you fail to comply, you will be asked to leave with your pet. All pets should be leashed or boxed at all times.
   


5. Please monitor your own behavior. If you become a pest, cannot control your own behavior or become disruptive or disturbing to others, you will be asked to leave and not welcomed back. If burning restrictions are in effect, we are required to follow them to protect the woodlands, fields and wetlands.
   


6. Do NOT dispose of garbage or trash in the fire pits.
   


7. Swimming and boating is at your own risk and expense.
   


8. Do not put nails into the trees and if you tie something to a tree, be sure to remove it completely before you leave. We recognize and respect the tree devas and they know and trust us to take care of them.
   


9. Use common sense with candles and torches in your campsite. Pine needles go up in a flash and it will be a bad day in tent city if we have an accidental ignition.
   

What to Bring

3. Towel(s) ... for showers and swimming
4. Toiletries ... you know what these are
5. Ritual clothing or garb
6. Dancing clothes for our concerts and drum circles in the evening
   

Camping Equipment

1. Tent (with rain fly)
2. Canopy or extra tarps
3. Bungee cords (for securing stuff to trees ... does less damage than string or rope and is easily removed)
4. Folding chairs (one for each person).

6. Bedding (unless you like sleeping on the ground)
7. Bug repellant
8. Flashlight
9. Camping plates, cups, utensils

Instruments & Music

1. If you play an instrument, bring it.
2. Drums and percussion instruments (you will want these at the drum circles)

Consumables

1. WATER containers. Drinkable water is available but you will need something to carry it in.
2. Whatever kind of food you like to eat. Remember it will be hot and perishables should be kept on ice.
3. Snack foods (salty is good if you are permitted by your health). If you are bringing short people you will want to tuck in extra snack foods that are reasonably healthy for them to share with their buddies wherever the kids decide to gather.
4. Any personal medication you may need
5. Money for buying cool stuff from the vendors.
