Intention is a family friendly community and more kids seem to pop up every year. Do you have children, activity/game ideas, an interest in playing with kids or a desire to support parents to participate more in their community?
Intention Gathering has a designated Family Camping Area that is in a quieter part of the property. Please camp there with your children and get to know your neighbours. Ask at the gate where to find Family Camp. And bring some strings of fairy lights to light the way at night!
There will also be a Kids Zone in the upper field for daytime activities. The Kids Zone is primarily a self-serve area using donated or shared items from members of the community; bring some arts and crafts or games to share!As we share here we ask parents and kids to please take care of the supplies, equipment and their space. Also labelling your items will make it much easier to retrieve them later. A really great thing to bring to the kid zone is a shade structure!
Please note that The Intention Gathering as an organization does not provide childcare, and parents are legally responsible for their children at all times. Community members may support parents by supervising their children while they attend workshops or dance; however, parents must remain accessible in case of problems or emergencies. This is where walkie talkies can come in handy so bring those if you can! Please talk to Family Pod members during the event to get more information on how the community supports parents at Intention.
Also, although meals are provided as part of your ticket, please note that they will be vegetarian and gluten-free and the meal times may not match your kid's eating schedules. There will be a self-serve brunch option with cereal and fruit available in the mornings. Please bring your own food for kids who require different schedules or dietary needs.
And remember to bring enough of your own drinking water as the creek is “drink at your own risk”.
Lastly, be sure to read the Location and General Info page and the What to Bring page!
