Kids Need Active Supervision

  • Children should never be left unattended — not in tents, not at camp, and certainly not wandering around the playa or event grounds.
  • It’s not okay for both parents or guardians to be checked out (e.g., drunk, on substances, or sleeping) while children are unattended.
  • Make sure your child always knows where their safe adults are and how to find them. Designate a known spot to meet if you get separated.
  • Water Safety: Be mindful of the lakes on the terrain which are not safe for swimming. The beach off the terrain is safe but accompany your kids and use life vests where needed. 
  • While gifts are a beautiful part of Burner culture — and candy is often handed out with joy — it’s important to help kids understand that not everything that looks fun is safe to eat. This is both to avoid accidental ingestion of something dangerous and to protect their tummies from sugar overload.
