THEME NIGHTS:

Friday - Naughty-Cal Beach Party(Sexiest SaliorPirate/Beach Goer Contest)
Saturday – Wicked Wild West(Sexiest Pioneer/Cowgirl Contest)

L.N.T. (Leave No Trace) Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and our endeavors, whenever possible; to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. No trash receptacles are provided. Please take everything you bring to the event back home with you. Pack it in, Pack it out- Every last scrap. (This includes things as small as cigarette butts, tissues, containers, bags, etc...) Got it? Great! Clean as you go! Also, nothing goes in portable toilets except human waste and toilet paper. If you see MOOP (Matter Out Of Place) on the ground, please pick it up.

FIRE GUIDELINES:

Fire safety is essential. All participants starting a campfire must dig a firepit or have a fire ring or self-contained fire pit. If you are using a generator, you must have a fire extinguisher in your camp.

WEATHER:

Utah camping can be a harsh and challenging environment. This event location is a dry lakebed and weather can change suddenly. Please take weather precautions into considerations. Make sure pop-up tents are securely anchored to the ground and awnings retracted if winds pick up. There are no trees. The only shade available is that which is created by you, your camp and our activity centers. It gets hot! Bring sunscreen and shade.

VEHICLES:

Speed limit at NxN is 5 miles an hour. All vehicles (including art cars) should travel at a walking pace while on Seabase property. There are trails and mountains to ride across the main road if needed. This is highly enforced. If you speed you will be asked to vacate the premises.

PERSONAL SAFTEY AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Do NOT engage in dangerous activities. You are responsible for your own personal safety. Nights at NxN are very dark. Stay safe by illuminating yourself, your bike, and your artwork at night. Over-intoxication will not be tolerated! Again not tolerated. We are all adults, take responsibility for your consumption and your actions. Guardians will be roving around to make sure everyone is safe and consensual. Please look to out for other campers in the community. If you see that someone needs help, reach out.

If have a trailer or a tent, the Parking Sluts will help you find a nice level spot in community circle. If you are camping with a theme camp, please inform the Parking Sluts so you can direct you into the proper space marked for your camp.

GIFTING:

NxN is devoted to acts of gift-giving and community. We welcome and allow such activities and shares. Remember; The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return nor an exchange for something of supposed equal value. Gifting should always be of the heart and a gift in of itself. Be Kind and have fun.

RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE:

NxN encourages the individual to discover, exercise, and rely on their inner resources. We do not supply water, food, camping accommodations, or power. So please bring everything you need to flourish during your weekend camping experience.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Whether you are camping with a partner or spouse of many years or a new friend. Festival and unforeseen events can stir up strong emotions and traumas. Please be conscious when these things come to the surface. Remember to use conflict resolution communication to help resolve these issues. If you need assistance please contact a Guardian, Volunteer or staff. They can get you to one of our amazing camp counselors to assist you.

RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION:

Remember that there is beauty in everything. Wonder, pleasure and delight fill this world with its many colors, tastes, sights and sounds. We all have our way and right to shine. Have fun and allow your flags to fly free. Embrace the beauty of radical expression. Allow your mind to soar and dive into different worlds. Allow the light of another to move you. We might all come from a different cloth, but woven together we can make one hell of a cloak! Lets have fun and embrace the many expressions we all wish to share. Remember this is a judge-free community. Leave your judgement, at the gate, open your minds and be free.

COMMUNAL EFFORT:

Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. Don’t hesitate to help and serve each other. We are all in this together.

CAMPING:

You are welcome to bring any type or size of recreational vehicle. Be aware there is no dumping station on site. There is a station in Grantsville. So that we can help protect the environment please make sure your RV or vehicle does not leak fluids on the ground. Also please be mindful of fumes and other campers if you are running generator. There is a Quiet Camp. NO GENERATORS ARE ALLOWED IN THIS AREA. Quiet running generators are allowed to run all night but if you have a lot Gen you will be places in Sound Camp area. There is tent space available. Please make sure you have all you need for your 3 days of camping. Shade is a big one. Water. Stay cool. Let the Parking Valets know if you need a tent area.

PARTICIPATION:

Our community is committed to a radical participation. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through deep personal participation. We achieve being, through doing... Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart, of the heart.

THEME CAMPS:

Theme Camps are one of the many loved and integral parts of NxN. More than just a bunch of people camping together, they open their doors to the community, providing hospitality, entertainment, art, interactive installations or participatory experiences.
