A list of essential items ~ Be Prepared ~ take care of yourself
- An open mind.
- Your gifts.
- Your ticket.
- Sturdy shoes – especially for night time. The site is wilderness style camping and there are many hazards such as uneven ground, rocks, driftwood sticking up, and killer trees.
- Water/ice.
- Food, utensils, dishes, campstove etc.
- Rope, glowsticks, solar lights, flagging tape or similar markers – use these to mark off hazards in and around your camp. Some campsites have dropoffs that might be hard to see in the dark.
- Flashlight, lantern, headlamps.
- Clothing, costumes, theme camp decor, art, music, random creative projects.
- Toilet paper, single ply – will be provided in the porta potties but you might want to bring your own stash. Please follow Burning Man style porta-potty rules: If your body didn't make it, the potty cannot take it. No baby wipes etc in the porta potties.
- This is a drug and alcohol free event. Glass containers are absolutely not permitted – please leave them at home.
- Bear Safety: be bear aware and don't leave food scraps around your camp. There have not been any bear problems at this site, let's prevent that from happening.
- Garbage bags: this is a leave no trace event. There are garbage and recycling bins on site. Please leave it better than you found it.
- Tent, sleeping bag, etc.
- Insect repellent – there are plenty of mosquitoes.
- Secondary shade is a good idea – especially if you are camping in the open areas.
