This is a rare chance to disconnect. While there is limited access to WiFi onsite in Lake Wenatchee, we strongly recommend folks put their devices down.

Phone service onsite is functional but limited. Expect slow connection speeds even when connected to the WiFi.

Stay Fueled

Keep it secret, keep it safe

We are here to play nice: Weapons and illegal drugs are strictly prohibited on the camp grounds. Violators will be removed from the event if necessary and barred entry to any future event.

Create the Fun

Challenge accepted! Attendees are strongly encouraged to create their own experience—bring stuff to deck out your cabin and the woods (art, flags, tapestries, speakers, etc), pack your slacklines and musical instruments, pick out gear to assist you in your night missions. The world is your oyster.

Leave No Trace

We hold firm to LEAVE NO TRACE. Anything brought on site must be taken off site. Be conscious of the debris you create and leave behind.
