Tips to Help You Enjoy the Gathering
Bring the Right Stuff
- Tent, sleeping bags, blankets, rain gear and clothing for both warm and cool weather. Plan for a wide temperature range, from cool to warm, wet to dry. An extra set of warm, dry clothes in a waterproof package is a good idea, too.
- Towels and toiletries including medications you may need. Avalon Isle has hot showers.
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Feast gear and eating utensils
- Food and drinks for yourself and a bit to share. The only meal provided will be the Saturday night evening meal, so be sure you bring enough to meet your needs. Don’t forget snack foods!
- Ritual gear, drums and other musical instruments.
- Costumes and/or materials for decorating your campsite.
- Positive attitude
Do the Right Things
- Treat everyone with respect and courtesy. That includes respecting paths and personal boundaries. No means no – period.
- Parents, be aware of and responsible for your children at all times.
- Avalon Isle is sacred ground. Observe posted signs and boundaries. If in doubt, ask.
- Respect the land by leaving your campsite cleaner than you found it.
- Alcohol is fine. Drunken behavior is not. Drink reasonably and responsibly.
- Leave illegal drugs, firearms, bad attitudes, violence and other inappropriate behaviors elsewhere. Karma’s a bitch and so is security.
