DATES: JULY 29TH – AUGUST 1ST
This year’s Mooseman weekend is set to take place in a new venue on a hilly terrain near Haliburton ON. Our site this year is beautiful, and will include a 1 km ring road through the forest taking you on a magical path past dance venues and theme camps. Tickets may be purchased by pARTicipants 19 years of age or over. See below for a note below for policies with regards to children. Note that ALL admissions are on-line ‘will call’ tickets.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
This event adheres to these 10 core principles:
http://regionals.burningman.com/network_principles.html
VOLUNTEERING
An event of mOOseman’s magnitude needs many hands and minds to come together to be a success. Given the scale of this year’s event, it is critical that all pARTicipants volunteer to assist in some capacity to make the event a success.
We’re all volunteers so why not join the fun of working to make the event happen?
Email mooseman.toronto@gmail.com NOW to get involved! Even a couple of hours of your time before or during the event will make it run that much better. Volunteering is also a great way to meet or get to know our community pARTicipants better.
IN & OUT POLICY
Site in and out access for cars will be restricted during the weekend due to space restrictions.. Please emailmooseman.toronto@gmail.com if you will require in/out privileges.
GENERAL CAMPING AREA
The camping is gorgeous but somewhat more remote than in the past. In keeping with the natural beauty minimal camp structure is encouraged in this area. Generators are strongly discouraged. Fires and all sources of open flame may be banned in the general camping area, depending on regional conditions. This is real camping: electricity and water will not be available in the area. Foodstuffs and organic refuse should be kept locked away, thereby not encouraging camp invasion by wildlife. There is a public lake with swimming a short (1 km) walk away.
FIRE & FIREWORKS POLICY
Fires are entirely dependent on environmental conditions and local burn policy. Fireworks are not permitted at the event. Weapons are not permitted at the event
CHILDREN AND PET POLICY
(yes, this is a joke)
CHILDREN
Responsibility:
The parent(s) must take full responsibility for their minor (17 years old and under) children. That is, if they mess it up, parents get to make it right. The same applies to all children’s behaviors, if they are doing something that might be dangerous or harmful participants should expect that it will be resolved via escalation process outlined below:
Safety:
Escalation Procedure:
1) Speak to the child (really useful, but optional – if so skip to #2). Explain what behaviors need changing and why. Please try to use terms that indicate the behavior is what is bad or unwanted, not that the children would take as negative towards them. For example: “Hey buddy, it really makes me mad when you knock over my drink” not “You are a bad boy for knocking over my drink”. If you don’t feel comfortable correcting the kids behavior, don’t, just speak to parents immediately (#2).
2) Talk to the Parents. A Critical step. Explain what behaviors need to be changed, and why. Please don’t try to change (or suggest changes) someone’s parenting style… much variation not usually taken well. Focus on the behavior. (Problem: Running around open drinks and knocking them over; Desired solution: Be careful around drinks, Kids playing away from adults).
3) Event organizers. Speak to event organizers (Parent Leads (NaughtyNurse Amanda and CampCounsellor Brad) or Event Leads (Marc/Dave/etc)). Relay outcomes of steps (#1(optional) or #2) taken and what you would like see happen. Event organizers will make a decision on resolution, or conditions moving forward. (“We will ask you to leave the event if you don’t resolve the problematic situation”).
Etc.
Theme camps have the right to not want children within their camp – if you have a theme camp that you want for adults only, it is expected that you have a sign clearly indicating so.
At the Mooseman Event, participants with children are encouraged to camp close to one another. We will be dedicating a camping area for families.
