By popular vote from the community and the Apogaea board, there will be mandatory “Quiet Hours” for sound/theme camps at Apogaea this year.

• Quiet hours will be 6am – 11am on Friday and Saturday and 8am – 11am on Sunday.

This means turn off all generators, and subsequently all amplified music. A few glorious hours of peace and quiet – well, at least a few hours without the megawatts thump of amplified music. That’s enough to get a good nap in. That’s enough to get a good nap in.

Sound levels will be enforced with decibel meters.

Also don’t forget we will be enforcing enclosed generators. Generator noise must not exceed 70dB at 10 feet – that’s about as loud as an average passenger car. Any generator that is found to be in violation will be turned off until the noise issue is remedied with better enclosure techniques. We’re not trying to be Nazis about this, we just need to make sure everyone is being respectful in such a limited, but beautiful space.

In an effort to keep waste down and follow the path of self-reliance, we are encouraging everyone to bring their own cup to Apogaea this year. Let’s try to avoid any kind of disposable cups. Let’s also try to avoid plasticware. Second hand stores are a great place to pick up sets of silverware that you can use or better yet…gift!

There will also be recycling bins set-up around Apo Town. Please use these ONLY for recycling materials. Self-Reliance is really your own responsibility and so is your trash. Help keep Apogaea and the Planet magnificent!
