General Information

PARKING: Park in the large field near the road. Walk in and check your camping reservation at the concession stand.

CAMPERS PITCHING TENTS: Place your tent in the shade (just west of a tree) unless you are seeking a hot morning wake up call from the sun. The woods are the best place for a tent without a 5:30 a.m. wake up call from the sun. PLEASE do not setup tent on the Wave Farm main meadow.

FOOD: Pesto pasta on Friday night; eggs Saturday morning, PB+J and hummus sandwiches, fruit, cold potato soup, veggie burgers and meat burgers Saturday night; and pancakes Sunday morning. Beverages too. Diner within walking distance.

SERVICES: Port-a-let on property, near concession stand. Pond for swimming.

ANIMALS: You may want to bring bug spray/sauce. Definitely check for ticks. Be alert in the woods for the bear. (These bears are not aggressive, but of course close encounters should be avoided. Please keep an eye out if you are exploring paths in the forest.) Dogs are allowed (no biters, please).

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES: After the schedule performances on Friday and Saturday night, the mic around the campfire will be open all night, playing to the radios around the property and the internet all over the world.

BRING: Balls (soccer field for playing), grills, bug spray, shoes that can get wet/muddy, flashlights, fishing poles (catch and release bass), etc.

NOISE: Sound carries in unexpected ways around here, please consider that late night noise might disturb a neighbor.

PROPERTY BOUNDARIES: Please respect the Wave Farm property boundaries (see map on back), so that these summer events may continue for years to come.

KEEP WAVE FARM BEAUTIFUL: Please use the ample trash and recycling cans so we can keep the Wave Farm beautiful.

DO NOT: Move tiki torches (fire hazard).
