About Our
Clothing Policy: In the public camp dress
as you would for a
day at the beach, with skinny dipping in the river. Groups reserving
the public camp set their own policies.
Alcohol Policy: The legal drinking age in PA is 21. Please, no public area
drinking of alcohol in original containers; put that brew in a coffee
cup. We have ZERO tolerance for intoxication of any kind.
Drug
Policy: Illegal substances or other contraband are not permitted at
Four Quarters. This is your only warning; if caught, you will be removed
from the Farm!
Camp Etiquette: Be
a good neighbor and respect others. No private radios or amplified
instruments, no excessively loud noise, and of course, no weapons.
About
Camp Fires by Permit: At all times, camp
fires are by permit only. $15 includes your Steel Fire Ring and firewood
for your stay. Never, ever move rocks to line a fire ring! Creating
an open Fire Pit is forbidden at Four Quarters. Please do not stockpile
wood; unburned wood must be returned to the wood piles by staff in
order to allow us to care for the grounds. Please do not burn paper,
plastic or foil in your fire ring; it leaves a poisonous residue that
kills the soil. Please do return your Fire Ring to Registration or
Hospitality and never, ever leave your fire unattended.
About Your
Car: The Camp is for People, the Main Parking Area is for Cars.
We are positively anti-automobile and we Boot and Tow parking violators!
So please return your car to Main Parking as soon as possible after
off-loading your camping gear. Please do not drive your car into the
wooded areas of camp and do observe the “No Vehicles” signs;
just pull your vehicle completely off the road and carry your gear
the last few feet to your camp site. Please do not ever leave your
vehicle in any intersections or in any of the entrances to the High
Meadow or the Kitchen. Not even for a minute.
About In-Camp
Parking by Permit: During our Fund Raisers,
a very limited number of In-Camp Parking Spots are available by permit,
directly across from the Hospitality Pavilion. A Parking Pass for
your vehicle is $25-$35, purchased at registration or at the pavilion.
Please park your vehicle as instructed, or as close to the red ribbon
and the other cars as you can.
IF YOU HAVE A HANDICAPPED PLACARD FOR YOUR CAR
SEE US FOR YOUR FREE PARKING PASS.
About In-Camp
Car Camping and RVs by Permit: During our
Fund Raisers we allow car camping by permit in the East end of the
High Meadow. Permits are $15 for each vehicle or trailer, $25 for
those over 20 feet in length. RV spots are very limited and their
$35 permits should be reserved in advance.
About Your Trash:
Four Quarters is Green. We do not provide trash service; you
must pack out everything you bring in. If you like, you may purchase
one of our yellow trash bags and leave it at registration on your
way home. Littering is profound disrespect of the land and will be
a cause for expulsion. Put your cigarette butts in your pockets.
About Swimming:
Feel free to swim in the Hemlock Hole. But remember
that it is wild, natural and dangerous. NO PROVISIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY
HAVE BEEN TAKEN! YOU SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK! Please do not get out
of the water on the far bank, and NEVER, NEVER jump into the water.
To do so is cause for expulsion. And please, no soap of any kind may
be used in the creek. The beavers hate it.
About Your Campsite: Camp as lightly as possible upon the land.
Dig no drainage ditches around your tents and no tent stakes closer
than 6 feet to a graveled road. Please do not camp in the marked workshop
or sacred sites. The Big Bottom is a Members Only Camping Area. Please
observe the posted “No Vehicle” areas of camp.
About Our Showers: Our showers are everlastingly hot, and are self-serve
any time the kitchen generator is operating. Read the posted instructions,
use the soap we provide and enjoy! Have twice the fun, shower with
a friend, save water and fuel.
About The Starvin’ Artist
Café: It is our pride and joy. Built with
volunteer labor and donations. Staff-prepared food as an act of service
and love, building real Community, one bite at a time. If you are
on the Meal Plan, please bring your own eating utensils, plate and
cup. If you are not on the Meal Plan... Oh well, there is always next
time!
About Drum Circle:
It is a safe, sacred space to ride the spirit of the Drum. Please
be aware that at our FundRaisers, Drum Circle is cleaned and prepared
each evening as an act of service, helping to maintain the Drum Circle
at Four Quarters as a place of mystery, magic and respect.
When sharing Drum Circle remember that alcohol
and tobacco are not permitted on the sanded areas and No Glass of
any kind. If you drum, please group yourself around the Jun-Juns (bass
drums) in the south of the circle, forming a crescent of support for
the dancers and the people. If you like to drum while sitting, bring
a chair; and please do not drag the wooden benches towards the fire
until very late in the evening.
Now that wasn't so bad!
