Something Else is an adult party that also allows children with parental supervision. This means we're going to have some rough edges, some loud music, some boisterous adults, and some things not appropriate for kids.

Our rules specifically prohibit drug use and public sex acts, but otherwise expect clothing-optional swimming, sexy outfits, swearing, and an environment physically built for adults with unsupervised open water, poison oak, and sharp rocks.

We want to make this event fun for all – adults and kids alike – and hopefully the structure we have set up is common sense for anyone who would wish to join our little party.

We expect the following from parents:

• Kids under 13 must be directly supervised at all times. This means they are in sight of you or a designated guardian.

• Ability to find your children and for your children to find you. Cell phone reception at the venue is spotty, we recommend FRS radios – please contact us if you'd like specific recommendations.

• An understanding that your kids are not to become someone else's problem.

• Conscientiousness about the impact of your children on the party experience of others.

Failure to follow these rules will result in consequences, including but not limited to a talkin'-to, being disinvited from future events, being asked to leave, and consequences for your sponsor.

To keep our dino vibes strong, we have some areas specifically for kids and some specifically not.

• The Lawn (the area gate-ward of the Central Kitchen is the primary Family Zone). We expect folks with kids to camp there. There are car camping spots there, and folks with kids in RVs will set up in the RV spots closest to the Central Kitchen. (map coming soon)

• Kitchen, Raptor Den, and all other indoor spaces are off-limits to kids without explicit staff permission.

• No kids under 13 outside of the Central Kitchen and the Family Zone after 11pm.

• Parents must complete a Child Registration Form prior to arrival (coming soon).

• Parents will be expected to sign a Child Waiver.

• Kids will be tagged with a wristband containing parental contact info.

• In case of a separated child:

  • Advise your child that the porch of the Raptor Den is the designated meeting place.

  • Advise your child that any adult with hot pink suspenders and/or a radio is someone they can trust to help.

  • Let someone with a radio know immediately.
