How can I make sure to get a dorm room?
Dorm rooms are reserved for participants who are arriving before dinner on Friday, staying for the full weekend, and leaving at the end of the day on Sunday.
Dorm availability is limited and dorms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a few ADA compliant dorm rooms in the mix. The best way to ensure dorm housing is to register early and send your payment promptly.
Why does the registration form ask for my pronouns?
We want to make it easy for all Rompers to be called by the pronouns they prefer. Including pronouns on nametags is now standard at a lot of music camps and other events to make it a normal way for everyone to know how to refer to each other. This reduces potential confusion and awkwardness, and also creates a more comfortable space for folks who are nonbinary or who use pronouns that might not be obvious to others based on elements of their appearance.
We support a community where individuals choose their own individual gender identity. We will refer to you by the pronouns on your button all weekend long, and we will encourage everyone at the Romp to do this. If someone misgenders you or uses pronouns other than those on your button, you can gently correct them. If you make a mistake with someone's pronouns, simply correct yourself (or let yourself be corrected) and move on in the conversation.
Even if you think people will be able to easily guess your pronouns, we want to include them on your button. The words you choose will likely be imprinted in the minds of the new friends you make there, so we recommend choosing pronouns that you will be comfortable using long beyond the Romp and in outside situations.
Can I bring my camper / pop-up / RV?
Potash Hill allows sleeping only in designated dormitory bedrooms and the tenting area. Primitive tenting only is permitted on the soccer field. Tenting in other areas is prohibited. No vehicles are permitted on the soccer field.
