Children at the
Event
Burnt Oranges has always
welcomed children at our events and hopes to continue this tradition in
the future. Children are the future of our culture and we want to
include them, educating them about our culture and art as they grow and
become adults.
However, if you bring
your children, be prepared to supervise them THE ENTIRE TIME. There is
no daycare at the Event. Do not expect the community to watch your
children or censor their behavior because there are children/minors
present.
There may be subject matter considered inappropriate for minors,
including nudity and adult language. It is the parent’s
responsibility to teach their children our customs, courtesies, and
respect for other lifestyles. If you bring children, you must prepare
them for what they will see and hear. You must also be prepared to
answer some difficult questions that will surely come up. We will NOT
change our culture or events to shield children from things you do not
want them to see and hear. You are responsible for your child's
well-being and should be prepared to engage in "active parenting".
Radical self-reliance means parents are also responsible for their
underage child's experience.
When bringing
children to our events, we also expect parents to be in control of their
children and responsible for their behavior 100% of the time.
Our events are not safe places for young children to be turned loose
without supervision; there are many hazards at the Event, such as
open flames and other fire effects, a retention pond, and a pool with no
lifeguard on duty. It is NOT OK to let your children play, climb,
rummage through, or get into other people’s camps and personal
possessions without that camp’s permission.
We want your children to have as much fun as us, but you are solely
responsible for their well-being and ensuring that they don’t ruin
another's experience. Don’t expect your children to be safe from harm
in someone else's camp or expect others to make their camp child proof.
Ejection
from Event
In order to protect your children and the event, if you
repeatedly fail to supervise your children, your family may be subject
to removal from the Event.
