Fall Frolic Festival Rules

1. Festival attendees will wear their Festival Passes at all times.

2.Please treat the land as sacred. Pick up all trash and place it in the designated receptacles. There will be containers for garbage as well as recycling. Please leave the area better than you found it. Cigarette butts must be disposed of in the sand buckets provided, and not thrown onto the ground, into the woods, or into the sacred fire.

3.NO SMOKING IN ANY BUILDINGS ON THE PREMISES. Smoking is permitted in designated areas outside of certain buildings. Sand buckets will be provided for putting out cigarette butts. Make sure butts are completely extinguished, and do not throw them on the ground. Underage smoking is not permitted. Smoking of illegal substances will not be tolerated. Please be considerate of Non-Smokers.

4.Camp and park within designated areas. No vandalizing, no littering, no polluting, no hunting, and no cutting or nailing of live trees. Use all cabins, buildings, areas, and equipment responsibly. Attendees are responsible for keeping their own cabins and areas clean, tidy, and free of trash at all times. Attendees will be held responsible for any damages that they cause to the grounds, buildings, cabins, or equipment beyond normal wear and tear, and will have to reimburse Camp Netimus for the damages.

5.Due to the fact that we have no certified lifeguard available, water sports (boating, canoeing, swimming, fishing) will be unavailable.

6.No unapproved fires may be set-up. Fires are allowed in designated campfire areas and fireplaces only. All campfires must be attended while burning, you must extinguish all fires properly after use, and fires must be COMPLETELY extinguished before leaving any area. NO FIRE JUMPING OR WALKING IS ALLOWED. The Central Fire is a sacred fire - do not throw trash or cigarette butts into it. Please don’t tend the sacred fire as we have a FIRE CREW, so no one gets hurt.

7.Propane, Kerosene, or other combustible heaters are not allowed in the cabins. If you wish to bring in a portable electric heating device, you will be charged an extra $50 per weekend per device. Battery ooperated devices are allowed.

8.No Firearms or Explosives are allowed on the premises.

9.There will be licensed medical personnel on site. The medical personnel, by law, are not permitted to dispense prescription medication unless they are doctors. If you have prescription medication, please bring it with you in case of an emergency.
Upon check-in you must notify staff of any PHYSICAL or MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS that may require medication and/or medical attention.

10.Open containers of Alcohol are not allowed. YOU MUST BE OF LEGAL AGE TO DRINK.

12.Festivalgoers must party responsibly, since disruptive or disorderly conduct will not be tolerated. Drumming will occur until morning hours. Please don't camp near fire circle if drumming bothers you, it won't be stopped. Please keep in mind that this is a family-friendly event, and minors will be present. Anyone engaging in disruptive, discourteous, lewd, or illegal behavior can be told to leave by any member of the festival staff, and police will be called if necessary.

13.All pets must be in a cage or on a leash AT ALL TIMES, and must be friendly to both humans and other pets. They must be licensed and current on their rabies shots. Pets that cannot be controlled, those that demonstrate unfriendly behavior, or those with owners who do not take adequate care of them must leave the festival. Owners MUST pick up after their pets because it ruins the festival for everyone else when your kids steps in poo or someone wheels in it with their wheelchair. PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR PET! No Pets are allowed in the Dining Hall. The only exception to this is working Service Animals. If we can’t follow this simple rule, there will be no pets in years to come.

14.Parents are responsible for their children at all times during the festival, and no one under 18 will be allowed into the festival without a parent or guardian. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or caretaker at all times. The parent/legal guardian/caretaker is responsible for the supervision of the minor(s) and for ensuring that the minor(s) complies with all of the Festival Guidelines. There will be children’s activities available at the festival, but we do not provide childcare. The staff is NOT responsible for your children. You may not drop off your young children to participate at children’s events unsupervised. If you are in need of childcare, you might be able to recruit an enterprising teenager for babysitting services.

15.Please DO NOT use the camp’s equipment - such as boats, kayaks, ziplines, climbing walls, horses, golf carts, etc. - without supervision or permission. CERTAIN ITEMS ARE NOT FOR YOUR INTENDED USE. Any unauthorized use of camp equipment will result in your removal from the festival.
