Important Policies

Liability Release

A signed copy of the Hydro~Geo Workshop’s Release of Liability Form must be submitted at registration by all participants. We recommend downloading the form and bringing the signed copy of the release with you. If you are under 18 years of age, the release MUST be signed by a parent or guardian.

Alcohol

The Hydro~Geo Workshop recognizes that the use of alcoholic beverages by those of legal age is a matter of personal choice. However, students in attendance are ultimately governed by the policies of their higher education institution. The Hydro~Geo Workshop requires that those who choose to drink on the Cave Without A Name grounds while attending the Hydro~Geo Workshop abide by state law, the regulations of their respective higher education institution and/or organizations, and Cave Without A Name regulations, and expects that such individuals will conduct themselves responsibly, mindful of the rights of others. No alcoholic beverages will be served or sold in conjunction with the Hydro~Geo Workshop.

No Drama

We have a strict “No Drama” policy. If you have a “High Maintenance” type of personality, consider not attending (if in doubt, ask your friends or professors, they should tell you). Remember, our volunteers work on your behalf. Please be kind and understanding as we work through any issues that may arise. Treat all volunteers with great respect, they are cooking your food, cleaning the johns, and herding cats.

If you are verbally or physically abusive to a volunteer or other participant, or a danger to yourself or others, we reserve the right to ask you to leave or to have you removed from the property. Remember, this is a rural county and we are friends with the Sheriff. He is a nice guy and provides free accommodations at the Cross Bar Hotel upon demand, compliments of Kendall County taxpayers.

Service Animals

Service animals are welcome as long as they are well behaved. No begging food, scratching or shaking around the food tables. Legitimate service animals, such as seeing-eye, hearing ear, or tasting tongue dogs are more than welcome. Bassett hounds are exempt and always welcome.

You may be asked for your service animal certificate from either a doctor or one of the Animal Certifying organizations.

Hydro~Geo Workshop Campground Chiefs reserve the right to request that law enforcement remove anyone in violation of the above.
