A few notes about the site:
So hey, Bergfried is a super cool place and all, but just FYI it is a bit... rustic. We do Not have a shower. Or electricity.
...and then there's The Rules
1. No Fireworks, firearms, or other weapons are permitted.
2. Participants are expected to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner.
3. No participant shall use or be under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol at any time during the event.
4. Tobacco use is allowed, but must occur away from the main entrance of the event site. Please respect others and our environment by using available receptacles.
5. Sexuality is a healthy part of everyone's lives. Because sexual behavior among participants may be disruptive to community building, it is discouraged during our time together. Overt sexual activity is prohibited.
6. Healthy expressions of friendly affection are encouraged, but only with the consent of all persons involved. Participants must always respect the comfort levels and boundaries of other participants.
7. Sexual harassment, as defined by unwanted sexual advances, comments or physical touching, is prohibited.
8. All participants in events should be respectful of the host site, each other, and these rules.
9. In the event that a participant must leave the site for any reason, they must notify a staff member.
The exception to this rule is the person designated as the "gopher" for the duration of the event.
10. Participants are not required to have fun, but it is strongly encouraged*.
11. Spirit of the Campout: The campout stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive camping is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between campers, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of camping.
12. Each team must choose a team name, they have roughly 10 seconds to choose it, if they don't the official is allowed to choose a really crummy name for 'em. Teams are encouraged to choose a team name that kicks ass.
13. Once it's in the fire, it stays in the fire.
*I lied, it's totally required.
