Question 1

Can I bring my kids to the gathering?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Central Ohio Outdoors strives to cultivate a family-friendly atmosphere at all of our events. We offer multiple workshops geared specifically towards kids, and have other kid/youth specific programming offered throughout the weekend.

Question 2

Do I have to buy my ticket online, or can I pay at the gate?

Accepted Answer

While purchasing your ticket ahead of time through Eventbrite may be slightly more streamlined, we always accept cash at the gate for anyone who wishes to purchase a ticket.

Question 3

Can I bring my camper?

Accepted Answer

Truck bed campers and roof top tents are welcome, but we do not allow for larger RVs or travel trailers. The venue is not set up well for them, and there is no water or electric hookup for them. We welcome tent camping, tarps, hammocks, or just a classic cowboy roll under the stars.

Question 4

What amenities are there at the event?

Accepted Answer

We have access to indoor restrooms with flush toilets, sinks and showers that attendees are free to use for the duration of the event. We will also have port-a-john's on site. Potable water is also on hand for drinking, cooking, and fire buckets. There is also access to electric to charge devices.

Question 5

Can I have a camp fire at my campsite?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It's not camping without a campfire. We will have a large communal fire every night of the gathering, but you are free to have a small fire at your personal site. We require all personal fires to be contained in a rock ring or dug fire pit, and you must have a water bucket at your site.

Question 6

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Pets are welcome at the gathering. Owners are required to pick up after their pets, and pets must remain on a leash at all times. Animals deemed disruptive or aggressive by the event host may be removed at any time.

Question 7

Are there any prohibited items or substances?

Accepted Answer

Per Kirkmont Center's request, attendees may not have a firearm on their person during the event. It may remain secured in your vehicle. Alcohol, marijuana, and other illegal drugs are strictly prohibited. Attendees found in violation of this may be ejected from the event at the host's discretion.

Question 8

Do I need to bring food?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Central Ohio Outdoors does not provide food during the gathering. Please come prepared with everything you and your party will need for the duration of your stay.

Question 9

What other rules should I be mindful of?

Accepted Answer

Only wood and paper products are permitted to be burned. All other refuse must be discarded in one of the trash cans on site. The Fall Gathering is a family-friendly event and we strongly discourage the use of profane or vulgar language in common areas. Smoking in the common areas is prohibited.
