All Hallow's Eve question

I'd suggest getting in touch with the Ranger and seeing what he thinks~ he'd be the expert here and probably could shed some light for us. It would be great if we could have real jack-o-lanters

Past Octobers were at Hickory Run - This is the first October at Camp Sac.  I'll bring this up w/ Staff for an official answer.

About pumpkins as it turns out bears love eating pumpkins, so to keep everyone from being eaten by bears the pumpkins can be kept outside while people are around and then brought inside a building (not a tent, also bring them in at night), or they can be kept  outside around the inn for the whole weekend and can be tossed out on sunday.

Thanks!

Are we allowed to use real flame inside the pumpkins, or are glowsticks still preferred?

How about we just avoid using real pumpkins considering that wherever they are they WILL attract bears. Even to the dumpster, like it needs any more of a lure as it is since it seems the bear enjoys doing a jog on it as well.

The bear does a jog on the dumpster?


From our lighting policy;
"Candles, lanterns, or torches that produce real firelight are permitted for IG use, but are not permitted for use inside of buildings or on porches; an item card is required for anything larger than a candle."

Any open flame must be supervised, even if inside a gourd.  If you want your pumpkin on your porch or anywhere near your building or want to leave it on when you're not there, get a glowstick or an LED candle.  Alternatively, you can always illuminate your pumpkin with the light of James' brilliant smile. 

Jackie already posted our policy on what is acceptable for this coming event, that may change for future events.  It is certainly suggested that you get some of those fake pumpkins, but if you bring real ones follow the guidelines she posted.
