A special word about teenagers

There is a special gathering place for teens and activities for them. This year we are offering a warrior workshops and a belly-dancing workshops. These workshops include making foam swords, sword forms, belly-dancing routines, costume construction and meditations. The teens will spend some time on Saturday with the 7 - 11 years and work with them. This will teach the teens responsibility and the value of mentoring. On Saturday the teens will show what they have learned in performances in the ritual field.

For teens that are not interested in the workshops designed for them, they are encouraged to bring games and cards that they would like to share with others. They may also attend any workshops they desire. There will be a hot dog and s'mores 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. Teen curfew is midnight.

We will be posting specific times for teen classes soon

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION WITH OUR STAFF
