Wild Cave module

In the wild cave you will get wet and very muddy. Be sure to bring:

Old pair of shoes for in the cave
Extra set of dry clothes for after
Plastic garbage bag

You must bring your own water as there is NO potable water on-site and water is NOT provided with the Workshop. We recommend one gallon of water per person per day for drinking and cleaning.

Write your name on everything (that’s yours). Otherwise, it may get lost and if left, will be sold at a yard sale for the Chairman’s beer fund.

  • Noisemakers of any kind
  • Fireworks

Service animals are allowed. Please notify the Workshop in advance. You may be asked for proof of Certification.
