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.
