Apogaea

Colorado's Regional Burn

During the event

You are responsible for your own experience.

Law Enforcement

Familiarize yourself with regard to all local, state and federal laws as you would in any municipality.  Law enforcement is not expected at the event.  But, please be respectful if you see any.  We wish our interactions with all law enforcement to remain positive.

Rangers

3 Apo RangersRangers will be on duty throughout the event.  Rangers are trained volunteers who are there to act as non-confrontational community mediators and safety officers.  By encouraging and facilitating communication, Rangers promote awareness of potential hazards including everything from sunstroke to tent fires.  Rangers can be identified by their tan Ranger shirts, Ranger hats, or Ranger laminates.  They are members of our community and you should feel free to request their assistance at any time.

Emergency Services / BAMF

BAMF provides Apogaea with fire fighting, emergency medical and mental health services.  They are not part of any law enforcement or outside agencies. Contact email hidden; JavaScript is required or email hidden; JavaScript is required for more information.

Apogaea Security Squad

A.S.S. is there to make sure that everyone on the property has permission to be there and that you stay within the event boundaries which are marked with colored tape. Show them your wristbands with a smile. Help them out and report anyone you see without a wristband.

Info Booth

If you have a question during the event, this is the place to start.  Info Booth staffers can help you get answers to a lot of your questions, or at the very least, can get you pointed in the right direction.  Contact email hidden; JavaScript is required for more information.

Keep it clean

There are no garbage collection services at Apogaea.  Every participant is responsible for their MOOP – matter out of place.

MOOP INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU BRING TO THE EVENT: tent stakes, bottle caps, ashes, wood debris, orange peels, cigarette butts, pistachio shells, feathers from your fancy boa, rope fibers, sequins, oil leaking from your hippie van, etc.

It is suggested that you spend 10-15 minutes each day walking around your camping area and picking up any MOOP you find.  IT DOESN’T MATTER IF THE MOOP IS YOURS, JUST PICK IT UP!

Port-a-potties

If it isn’t from your body, don’t put it in the potty!  

  • DO NOT PUT TAMPONS, TRASH OR HANDI-WIPES IN THE TOILET!
  • Trash in the toilets will prevent us from pumping them and will threaten the viability of the event.
  • Don’t leave stuff lying on the floors or around the outside of the potties.
  • Do not put greywater into the potties.
  • The land is a delicate ecosystem – do not use it as a toilet.
  • Put the lid down when you are done – it stinks in there!
  • Do not duct tape anything to the port-a-potties. Duct tape will leave a residue when removed. Use clear tape!
  • Don’t forget to eat more fiber.

Quiet zones / Noise

Quiet Hours are from 4am-10am in the city.  There are a few 24 hour large sound camps near the entrance to the city.  If you don’t want to be near them, camp further in.

Not everyone will want to sleep when you do.  It is highly recommended that you bring earplugs to assist you in getting a restful sleep.

If you wish to have amplified sound, you must contact email hidden; JavaScript is required to register your sound installation.

No holes / digging

At the request of the land owner, no digging is allowed at the event.

Generators

All generators not rated as super quiet (60 decibels or less) must be sound insulated with mufflers or fireproof housing. If you are running a generator without proper sound insulation, you will be told to build an enclosure or to turn it off.

See http://soundproofing.org/infopages/generator.htm for more information.

Vending / Commerce / Corporate logos

The sale of products and services is prohibited within our community.  Bring what you need.  The display of commercial logos or banners and/or distribution of commercial promotional items or materials is prohibited.  Apogaea is a place of sharing and free exchange within a gift economy.
