Camp Rules
Behavior: GCG is a safe space. Anyone who puts the safety or well-being of others at risk, creates a hazard to the site, or creates a situation that could have a hazardous outcome, will be asked to leave.
GCG will not tolerate sexually aggressive or other inappropriate behavior.
Clothing is not optional. No skyclad.
The land is sacred. Please pick up any trash and put it in the proper receptacles.
Please park in designated parking areas only.
Please respect the beliefs of others.
Please respect others’ privacy when taking video or photographs and solicit permission first. In addition, there will be no video/photographs during ritual or meditation.
Alcohol: Alcohol is permitted, and the legal drinking age is 21 in Louisiana. Please drink responsibly — disorderly or drunken behavior will not be tolerated.
Illegal Substances: Please do not bring any substances that are illegal in Louisiana. No firearms or pyrotechnics (sparklers excepted) are allowed. Please abide by all local laws.
Fire: It is against park rules to dig or create additional fire pits. Fires must be contained in the large designated fire pit near the dining halll. The fire cannot be left unattended. If you start a fire you must fully extinguish it or turn over the responsibility for it to another adult before leaving the area.
Noise: Except at the discretion of the GCG Staff, please do not use electrically amplified musical instruments, radios, car stereos, etc. Peace and quiet hours (i.e., no music or drumming) are from 12:00 a.m. until 6 a.m. Earplugs will be made available for those affected by the snoring of others.
Children: Children under the age of 18 must be in the company of a custodial parent or legal guardian to attend the GCG.
Children under 10 must be supervised at all times; this includes trips to the dining hall. If your child is an early riser, make sure he or she does not leave your sleeping area until you can accompany him/her.
Do not leave children, of any age, unattended near any body of water.
Parents are, at all times, responsible for their children. Parents who do not, in the opinion of the GCG organizers, exercise good parental care of their children will be asked to leave.
We will have crafts and activities for children, however there will be no actual child care.
Pets: Pets are not allowed, with the exception of service / assistance animals. If you will be bringing such an animal, please notify the GCG organizers.
Smoking: Smoking is strictly forbidden in all buildings and around children. There will be a designated smoking area. Please dispose of your cigarette butts in an environmentally-friendly way. Canisters will be available near the smoking area.
Vending: Table space will be made available for individuals to offer items for sale, but we ask that the items be related somehow to Druidry or Earth-Centered Spirituality.
Local Wildlife:
Please be aware of the local wildlife. There may be alligators and snakes in the water. Bears are an outside possibility; wild hogs are also possible. We will have a flyer available to help you identify local flora and fauna you should be wary of. Other publications you may find of interest are A Birder's Guide to Louisiana and a list of the wildlife and plants of St. Tammany Parish.
