Official Creation merchandise will be available onsite. These are very high quality items and include several different styles of T-shirts, sweatshirts, golf shirts, hats, bumperstickers, and more.
Toilet facilities are placed throughout the grounds. Please notify a staff member if they need servicing. We need everyone's cooperation in keeping these facilities as clean as possible. It only takes one careless person to make things really gross. Toilet and shower facilities accessible to wheelchairs will be available.
The festival has gone to great lengths to provide everything you will need on the festival grounds. Do not drive your car unless it is an emergency. When walking, please clear the road as soon as a vehicle approaches. Do not walk in the middle of the road. Unnecessary driving is not only unsafe, but it is also stirs up a lot of dust.
Only "hand-held" umbrellas are allowed into the Performance Area and must not block the line of sight of other attendees. If security staff determine that your umbrella creates a hazardous condition or blocks the view of other attendees, you will be asked to remove it or it will be confiscated. No umbrellas are allowed in front of the sound tower.
It takes thousands of dedicated staff volunteers to make the Creation Festival run smoothly. If you are interested in becoming a part of the Creation staff and are willing to work four and one half hours per day, please visit http://www.creationstaff.com for details.
Please conserve water by using only what you need.
Your ticket, pen and notebook, sleeping bag, tent or camper, flashlight, cooking supplies, buckets, BIBLE, wash basin, umbrella, toothpaste, soap, towels, insect repellent, money, sunglasses, hat, sweater, and blanket.
Please keep your wristband on your wrist during the entire time of the festival. You will need this to enter the festival grounds. This rule is extremely important for public safety. We recommend that you use a permanent marker to write your campsite number on your wristband and the wristband of all children in your group. This makes it possible for public safety staff to locate your campsite in case of an emergency or help you locate your own campsite.
A first aid center will be on the site. If you have special medical needs, please register at the medical center upon arrival. Each underage registrant must have his/her parent or guardian sign a "Consent To Treat" form. This form is sent to all who pre-register. Please make copies of this form which is located in the "Registration Details Pamphlet" that you will receive with your tickets. Please have minors in your group have this with them while on site in case they need treatment and are not with an adult. NOTE: Please DO NOT send this form to the Creation Main Office. This form is for your records and should be kept with you at all times while onsite at the event in case you need to go to the First Aid Station.
The festival is a unique situation where a complete village emerges over night. As in any small village there are many medical needs that arise. Just as you would not run to the local hospital Emergency Room for every little problem, please use the same discretion in deciding to come to the First Aid station.
Christian Medical Response Team: www.cmrt.org/
When you arrive at the First Aid station, you will be required to sign a "Consent To Treat" form. You must be 18 years old to sign for yourself. If you are not 18yrs or older, please bring an adult with you. If not accompanied by an adult, keep your "Consent To Treat" form with you. NO ONE UNDER 18 WILL BE TREATED WITHOUT ADULT PERMISSION or a signed "Consent To Treat" form.
If the First Aid station is busy, and your complaint is minor, you may be asked to wait. Please be patient, we may have some serious injuries or illness to care for. Despite the excellent care of our trained people, it may still be necessary for you to be treated in the local hospital Emergency Room. If this is the case you are responsible for supplying insurance information. It is also your responsibility, not the festival staff's to provide transportation to the hospital unless the injury dictates an ambulance. You will also be responsible to provide your transportation back to Creation from the Hospital.
Note concerning electric wheelchairs: Due to the limited amount of space in our First Aid compound we are unable to re-charge wheelchairs. If you have a wheelchair that will need to be re-charged you should provide your own generator. In an emergency situation, the Public Safety office (located near the Main Office trailer) may be able to assist you.
To Avoid Visiting Our First Aid Station, Please Follow These Suggestions
You Do Not Need To Go If
You Should Report To The First Aid Station If
Creation Festival offers Deaf Interpretation at Creation East & West for the Main stage events. The Creation Festival complies to the ASL Standards.
**Please note that only 6 people are permitted per handicap site due to limited space.
If you have a diagnosed medical condition that prohibits you from walking moderate distances, you can camp in our handicapped area.
You will need to provide proof of your handicap by providing us with a current note from your doctor explaining the nature of the handicap. With such a limited amount of space we must verify the need for handicap camping to make sure those with legitimate conditions are placed properly (i.e. a hang-nail is not a legitimate handicap condition). It is not necessary to go in to deep personal detail but we do need some sort of explanation of the condition. Doctor's notes simply requesting a handicap site are not accepted. Some sort of explanation of the condition is needed. Documentation must arrive on or before the final registration deadline on June 28, 2010, whether by mail (please include documentation with your ticket order) or by fax if order has already been placed (call our office for fax number). If your doctor will be faxing us the documentation please make sure he/she references the full name and contact information of the person who ordered the tickets AND the name of the person for whom the site is being requested (if different than that on order). If a doctor's note is received without this information we cannot reserve a site for you. It is the responsibility of the attendee to make sure documentation is accurate and received on time.
Creation does not provide electric hook-ups for any registered attendees, at their site, during the festival.
APNEA: If you have Sleep Apnea or any other respiratory condition, we have found that most medical equipment comes with adapters to accommodate a battery pack. Most medical equipment stores can rent you a battery to operate your equipment for the week. You may also want to contact your healthcare provider. If you provide us with a charger, we will charge your battery each day for use that night.
The Creation Festival does allow generators to be run at the campsites. The festival grounds are equipped with handicapped accessible bathrooms and shower facilities. Please understand the grounds are equipped but located in a very rural setting.
