Children at PUF

        We welcome your children.  We want them to have a good time and we want
        to be safe at all times.  We hope that this event will be something they remember
        fondly and look forward to  attending each year. With that in mind, we have put certain         
        standards in place and you can visit our Waivers page to fill the forms now to present at the gate.

1. We require that a parent or guardian accompany children under age 3.
2. Children between the ages of 3 and 7 may participate in activities in our Kids' Area.  In this area, we
    have separate stations set up for coloring, clay, finger painting, arts and crafts.  The children are
    encouraged to find the activities
    that interest them. Adults guide the younger ones.  All these activities are geared for children within
    this age group.  We also have play periods outside. We do not change diapers; so all children must be
    potty trained.
3. Children 7 through 11 have actual workshops that will interest them.  These include, making candles,
    kites, musical instruments, masks and other arts and crafts.  We also have hikes and other outdoor
    activities. The workshops for the children last 1.5 hours each and run at the same time as the adult
    workshops.
4. We will have outside water activities for your children, send swim wear, towels and sunscreen.
5. You must sign your child into and out of our care. There will be paperwork to fill out pertaining to
    your child's needs.
6. Do not send your child to the activities building alone or the Security Thugs will hunt you down.
7. You will be asked who else can collect your child from our care when you fill out the paperwork.
    Do not send anyone whose name is not on the list to collect your child, your child will not be released.
8. The Children's Activities coordinator is a member of our staff.  Please ask your child to be polite and
     cooperative.
9. The children will be given lunch in the Children's cabin, you are welcome to join your child or take your
    child to lunch.
10. Please collect your child promptly at the end of the day.
11. You must volunteer 1.5 hours in the Children's Activities area for each child that you bring.
12. You must sign up for volunteer time when you bring your child and sign him/her into care.
13. Explain to your child that he/she MUST remain in care until you come for them.
14. We do not administer medicine; please give you child his/her medication before you bring your
     child to us. If your child needs a dose of medicine while in our care, please come and administer it
     to your child at the proper time.
15. Please bring a large T-shirt for your child to wear for messy activities.
16. If your child is young, please bring a pillow and blanket for naptime.
17. All children under the age of 12 must be in care or in the company of a parent or guardian.  If any
     children are found wandering, they will be sold to the highest bidder.
18. Children 12 and older may attend classes with a parent. They are expected to behave as adults.
19. If you send your child to Children's Activities with a walkie-talkie, please know that the item will be
     turned off and placed in a closet, only to be used if your child has an emergency.
20. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in your child not being allowed to participate in
     children's activities.


A special word about teenagers

There is a special gathering place for teens and activities for them.  Your teens are encouraged
to bring games and cards that they would like to share with others. They may also attend classes
if they desire. There will be a hot dog roast each evening of the festival; we encourage your teen
to attend.  They are also welcome at the adult bonfire, drumming circle, and the guedra but they
must be in the company of a parent or other responsible adults.
