GREENING APO
In an effort to keep waste down and follow the path of self-reliance, we are encouraging everyone to bring their own cup to Apogaea this year. Let’s try to avoid any kind of disposable cups. Let’s also try to avoid plasticware. Second hand stores are a great place to pick up sets of silverware that you can use or better yet, gift!
There will also be recycling bins set-up around Apo Town. Please use these ONLY for recycling materials. Self-Reliance is really your own responsibility and so is your trash. Help keep Apogaea and the Planet magnificent!

LAMPLIGHTERS
Lamp lighters are coming to Apo, well sort of. There will be no gas lanterns, no solemn ceremony, and no robes. However, there will be lots of silliness, noise, mayhem and super heroes. The lamp lighters will be meeting each night at 7:30 at the Forbidden Fruit tent, for about an hour. It’s BYOC – bring your own costume.
Volunteer to be a lamplighter. We need volunteers for the following…
- Friday, Saturday and Sunday - 7:30 PM for about an hour
- Friday, Saturday and Sunday – Morning – to take lights down and recharge
batteries
Lamplighting Themes – Dig out those costumes and pack them up the hill…this is gonna be GOOD!
- Thursday – Santa
- Friday – Ninjas
- Saturday – Superheroes
To Volunteer contact MissAlicious at Michele_lauritzen(AT)hotmail(DOT)com
or Cyn at cyn7v(AT)hotmail(DOT)com

CAMPING, CAR CAMPING AND PARKING – MUY IMPORTANTE!
We will be enforcing all parking, camping and car camping guidelines this year. Let’s not clog up the beautiful scenery, art, theme camps or naked people with our vehicles.
- CAR CAMPING AND RV PARKING - will be located at the top of the hill, near the gate. Please abide to this location. You will be asked to relocate if we find you amongst the organized chaos AND you WILL be SPANKED!
- PARKING – When you arrive at Apogaea, please find your camping location, unpack your car, and then drive your car to the lower field (past the fence), The Stratosphere or other designated parking areas. These will be on your map that you receive at the gate. Again, You will be asked to relocate if we find you amongst the organized chaos AND Yes, you WILL be SPANKED!
