Ready for the best weekend of your life?

Absolutely not. The goal is to have fun, not go pro. Events are designed for people of all fitness levels, and you can always opt out of activities if you feel the need. If you can high-five and yell inappropriately loud, you're already a top-tier competitor.

Bring a positive attitude, a sense of humor, and a few costumes. Beyond that; hydration, snacks, sunscreen, a solid stretching routine, and a willingness to throw yourself headfirst into nonsense will go a long way. Make sure you’ve let your “old friends” know to expect a new you once the weekend is over!

AFD is built for connection. From shared team challenges to dorm-style lodging and poolside socials, you’ll be surrounded by hundreds of potential new best friends. Many attendees come to AFD solo and leave with a whole crew by the end of the weekend. Our “Responsible Adults” will make sure no one is sitting on the sidelines and our event is built on inclusion! 

Yes. While not mandatory, dressing up is heavily encouraged. There will be not 1, but 2 separate surprise-theme themed dance parties over the weekend for starters! We will let you know in advance what those themes are so you can properly prepare. On top of that, your team may have a team-theme, but there will definitely be a general “wear something ridiculous and/or sparkly” energy all weekend.

Totally. There are chill areas, poolside hangs, open games like mini golf, cornhole and 9-square, and social events all weekend. Saturday is meant to be a day full of competitive fun, but this story is a “choose your own ending” type of novel, and you can be involved as much or as little as you want. Our Responsible Adults will definitely try and keep everyone involved, but no means no!

The schedule on Saturday is packed, and we mean PACKED! The day is intentionally designed to have you questioning what a deep breath feels like and why sticking your head in a bucket full of ice feels so damn good. We do plan to give you a break here and there, so you’ll have time to recharge, grab food, lay in the sun, or plan your next costume change. Friday and Sunday are much more carefree where structured activities exist, but so does your free will on what you’d like to do!

You can expect a few hundred awesome humans to be enjoying the best weekend of their lives with you. The vibe is equal parts “school recess chaos” and “friendly competition meets music-fueled adult playground.” 

Nope, sorry! As much as we love dogs in sunglasses, cats in spacesuits, and bunnies with a monocle, the event isn’t set up to allow pets. At the venue, you may encounter a stray goat or two and you are welcome to give them all the head pats and butt scratches you can manage. Other than that, this weekend is for humans only (and barely functioning ones at that).

There will be a lost & found near the main lodge. If it’s something important like your dignity or phone, we’ll try to help. If it’s your inflatable banana costume… someone else is probably wearing it now. At the end of the event, we will make sure to share all items found with all attendees to make sure we get everyone back what’s theirs, but be warned, anything not claimed in a reasonable amount of time will find its way onto Frick Frack Blackjacks offerings!

You’ll need a government-issued ID and your confirmation email or ticket (printed or on your phone). We do all we can to keep check-in moving smoothly, but sometimes we get a little backed up, so bringing a little patience as well doesn’t hurt! After we confirm you are who you say you are and you watch a safety video, you’ll get your wristband, room/camping assignment, team info, and maybe a cool nickname, probably yelled at you by someone in costume.

You can arrive late, but you may miss some of the best bonding moments and the welcome activities. We understand there are certain uncontrollable factors that may delay your arrival to the best weekend of your life, but we do suggest giving yourself enough time to enjoy all there is to do! 

You’re free to peace out when you need to, but if you leave mid-competition, your team may send a passive-aggressive group text after the event. We encourage everyone to plan this as a weekend getaway and make sure their babysitters have a backup plan too! Let a Responsible Adult know if you do plan on leaving so we can properly check you out and avoid a search party.

Short answer: no. Long answer: hell no. Teams are assigned to keep things fair, balanced, and wildly unpredictable. By the end of the weekend, you’ll be ride-or-die with your squad, whether you chose them or not.

When registering, we do have an option where we allow you to request teammates, whether coming as a group or meeting up with people at AFD. We do our best to accommodate this if and when possible, but there are no guarantees that we can accommodate all requests. Our goal is to keep things as fair and fun as possible! Beyond that, we encourage you to roll with the randomness, it’s part of the magic. Plus, it keeps things spicy.

No need to sign up for any activities in advance. In fact, we hate signup sheets! Just show up when the whistle blows and you’re in! All activities on Friday and Sunday are open to all at any time. For Saturday, your Responsible Adult will drag you to where they think you should be to compete for glory. Life changing decisions are supposed to be made impulsively on the spot!

A beautifully chaotic written itinerary will be available when you arrive. We recommend taking a picture of it, tattooing it to your forearm, or assigning someone on your team to pretend to be the responsible one. Each team will have their own Responsible Adult assigned to them as well (no fighting over them, please!) and they will make sure you get to where you’re supposed to be!

Best is a strong word, all of our lodging options our great! Some of the most popular choices are Our Private Rooms/Private Cabins for groups coming in and our Dorm-Style Single Beds in the main lodge from those either coming solo or looking to meet new people and be closest to the heart of the event. Regardless where you choose to rest your head at night, you’ll be only steps away from the action, which means less walking, more chaos, and a front-row seat to the madness.

They exist. They work. And they’ll be your best friend after a day of inflatable battles and competitive dance-offs. Expect camp-style facilities, functional and clean, but not exactly spa day vibes. Also keep in mind that there are hundreds of attendees at Adult Field Day, so please be mindful of the time spent under a shower head and the 

Yes! If you booked a Camping Spot, you’ll need to bring your own tent, sleeping bag, pillows, and anything else you need to feel like a semi-functioning adult outdoors. We will assign you a camping spot to call your own for the weekend, but that’s all you’ll get from us! Well, maybe a helping hand setting up if you ask nicely. 

We try to keep the party centralized and let sleeping attendees sleep, but let’s be real: it’s Adult Field Day, not a silent retreat. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper… or join the late-night festivities instead. The private cabins in upper camp or the private group houses will be your best bet if you want to get some quality shuteye. 

Absolutely. Whether you’re in a cabin, a lodge room, or your tent, feel free to bring whatever you need to stay comfy. Keep in mind that this is Adult Field Day, not Sandals on the beach, we’re known for the best weekend of your life, not the best sleep of your life!

Yes, but it’s limited. Bring a portable charger if you want to stay powered up all weekend long without having to squat next to a microwave. All buildings will have outlets for you to charge whatever you need, but they may be in high demand. This is a great excuse to unplug (or mostly unplug) for the weekend and just enjoy! 

There’s plenty of parking on-site, and if you're staying in an RV spot, sleeping in your car or rig is totally fine. Just make sure you booked the RV Spot when checking out or cleared it with the organizers ahead of time, sneaky van goblins will be noticed. We also recommend carpooling when possible, both for the fun factor and the environment of course!

Expect delicious, high-energy fuel throughout the weekend. You can see a sample menu of the meals we offer on the website by clicking “view menu.” We do all we can to offer a hearty variety to keep all mouths happy and tummies full! Popcorn, snow cones, granola bars, fruits, and countless other snacking treats will be available at all times. 

All beverages, including alcohol, are available to you as part of your Adult Field Day experience. Whether you’re sipping on seltzers by the pool or grabbing a cold one after a challenge, we’ve got your hydration, and celebration, covered. 

Yes! We offer a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options at each meal by request only. Be sure to indicate any dietary restrictions when registering, and our kitchen crew will make sure you’re well fed and ready to rumble. 

You’re welcome to bring your favorite snacks to stash in your tent, cabin, or room, especially if you’re the kind of person who needs a 2 a.m. bag of gummy bears after the dance party. It may even make you that much more popular around town! Just be mindful of critters and cleanup.

Nope! Outside alcohol is not permitted. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered though. Alcohol will be served throughout the weekend at designated bars and drink stations, and trust us, there will be no shortage of drinks, toasts, or questionable karaoke.

Yes! Hydration stations will be located all throughout the property for you convenience. Bring a reusable water bottle and keep it full, you’re going to need it. Forgot one, we’ve got plenty you can use! Friendly reminder: hydration is not optional, it’s strategy.

Expect a mix of ridiculous competitions, massive inflatables, obstacle courses, relay races, field games, and some things that probably shouldn't be legal but are definitely fun. The games are equal parts wild, creative, and chaotic designed to keep you laughing, moving, and occasionally questioning your life choices (in a good way). We are constantly mixing things up, and part of the fun of AFD is sometimes you have absolutely no idea what you’re about to get into!

You’re encouraged to jump in as much as you possibly can, but you’re not required to do anything you don’t want to do. If you need a breather, prefer spectating, or just want to float in the pool for a bit, that’s totally fine. This weekend is about fun, not pressure.

Oh, we absolutely keep score—and yes, there will be prizes, trophies, and eternal bragging rights. The games are competitive ish, but don’t be surprised if a team, or individual wins something based on style points, outrageous costumes, or pure unfiltered chaos. Again, we can’t spill all our secret sauce, and part of the fun is not knowing everything! 

Let’s just say… tie-breakers will not be normal. Expect dance-offs, obstacle duels, sudden-death trivia, animal noise-offs, scavenger hunts, or whatever else our staff comes up with on the fly. Prepare for anything, and keep in mind that if you win the first time, there wont be a tiebreaker!

We’re not giving away too much, but let’s just say you’ll want shoes you can run in, clothes you don’t mind ruining, goggles might come in handy, and a sense of humor that’s fully charged. You may recognize some of these games, others were created to have you question reality. 

Absolutely. There will always be a Responsible Adult nearby for every activity and competiion you participate in. You’ll get a full rundown before each competion to make sure nothing is missed. That said, understanding the rules is optional—participating with enthusiasm is not.

Yes! You can see a sample schedule on the website under “What to Expect.” When you arrive on Friday, you choose which social activities you’d like to participate in! On Sunday, its pretty much open play on any and everything! Throught the weekend there will be open-play zones, mini golf, pool parties, arts and crafts, classes, social mixers, music, late-night events, and other surprises. There’s always something happening, and plenty of ways to get involved (or get weird).

Bring comfortable clothes you can move (and maybe fall) in, closed-toe shoes, a swimsuit, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, toiletries, a costume or two, and anything else that screams “I didn’t come here to play it safe.” If you’re camping, don’t forget your tent, sleeping bag, pillow, and whatever gear keeps you cozy and functional. We will email you a full checklist of what we believe you should have on hand, but if you do forget anything we will have plenty available. Don’t forget something to “gamble” at Frick Frack!

No outside alcohol, no illegal substances, no pets, no glass containers, no bad vibes, and definitely no expectations of staying clean all weekend. Also, leave the valuables at home, this is a party, not a bank vault.

Everything you need for the weekend is included in your ticket; meals, drinks, games, and entertainment. You won’t need cash unless you’re tipping someone for helping you up off the ground after a failed cartwheel, and even then, the best currency is a unique compliment! We will have additional swag available should you want to rep AFD all year long, but knowing us, we’ll probably just throw it at you for funsies. 

Wear something comfortable, breathable, and preferably ridiculous. Gear in your team’s colors will be given to you because what’s better than matching while racing blindfolded over hurdles? All competitions require something… different so bring extra clothes—you will get dirty.

Yes. There’s a pool. There are games involving water. There are football style Gatorade tub flipping celebrations. You know what, you may want to bring a couple of swimsuits now that we think about it. 

Yes! Once you’ve been placed on your team, we will give you some gear in your teams color! We will also provide tons of “flair” opportunities for you to really spice it up and stand out. Once your team huddles up, you can come up with your own theme if you so choose and really make an impact on our Instagram reels! The nightly parties will also be themed so make sure to check your emails and pack accordingly! 

Deloro Valley is located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills, just outside of Auburn, CA. Detailed directions will be provided ahead of the event, but it’s an easy drive from the Bay Area, Sacramento, and beyond. The roads are scenic, the cell service fades at the perfect time, and the adventure begins as soon as you turn off the highway. 

Absolutely! We strongly encourage carpooling and ridesharing, it’s fun, eco-friendly, and a great way to meet your fellow Adult Field Day teammates. We'll be providing a rideshare board or chat group before the event so you can link up with others coming from your area.

At this time, there won’t be an official shuttle, but Uber/Lyft may work depending on your starting point, just remember, service can be spotty near the venue. Carpooling is your best bet for a smooth arrival and exit. 

There are small markets and gas stations within a 15–20 minute drive from Deloro Valley That said, we recommend bringing everything you need ahead of time, because once you're in the zone, you won’t want to leave. On top of that, this is considered all-inclusive and we make a point of keeping all you need (that we can prepare for) on hand.

Cell service is limited in some areas of the property. Don’t count on a signal. There may be WiFi in select common areas, but this weekend is the perfect excuse to unplug, go off-grid, and focus on being present… and possibly covered in glitter.

You can expect a few hundred awesome humans to be enjoying the best weekend of their lives with you. The vibe is equal parts “school recess chaos” and “friendly competition meets music-fueled adult playground.” 

We have a trained medical and safety team on-site throughout the weekend. Whether you twist an ankle during dodgeball or pull a muscle attempting a victory dance, we’ve got you covered. Please report any injuries to a Responsible Adult immediately.

Yes! There will be first aid and emergency response staff available at all times. Your health and safety is a priority, even when you’re dressed like a hot dog and launching yourself down an inflatable slide. If you have any prior medical conditions or injuries that may require medical attention, please let our Responsible Adults know in advance and use your best judgement over the weekend. 

Alcohol is included as part of the weekend and will be served responsibly at designated times and locations. Outside alcohol is not permitted. Please enjoy yourself, but keep it respectful, hydrate often, and don’t be that person. (Or do—but know we’ll write your name on a board somewhere.) We reserve the right to “cut off” anyone, at any time, for any reason. 

Yes, we’ll have a professional and friendly event security team on-site to help with anything from lost items to helping you find your cabin after you accidentally wandered off during a late-night game of flashlight tag. 

Rain or shine, Adult Field Day is happening. A little mud never hurt anyone, actually, it makes the games better. In case of extreme weather, we’ll adjust events accordingly and make sure everyone stays safe and (mostly) dry. 

Yes! While we’re all about fun and games, we take safety, respect, and inclusion seriously. Harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behavior will not be tolerated. Everyone is here to have a good time, and that only works if we all treat each other well. Play hard, party harder, and don’t be a jerk. If you have to ask if it’s “okay” then it probably isn’t!

Find a Responsible Adult or visit the check-in area ASAP. We’ll help coordinate logistics and make sure you get what you need. If it’s a true emergency, our on-site safety team will take action immediately to the best of our abilities. 

You can expect a few hundred awesome humans to be enjoying the best weekend of their lives with you. The vibe is equal parts “school recess chaos” and “friendly competition meets music-fueled adult playground.” 

Our team will be capturing the most epic, embarrassing, and unforgettable moments all weekend long. After the event, we’ll share a link to a gallery or shared drive where you can download and relive the chaos, or deny involvement entirely.

Yes! We’ll send out a post-event recap with highlights, competition results, standout moments, and maybe a few award titles you didn’t know you earned (like “Most Dramatic Dive” or “Loudest Costume”). Keep an eye on your inbox.

We’ll create a private group or community platform for all attendees so you can reconnect, share photos, plan reunions, or just post memes from the weekend. New friendships (and rivalries) are encouraged to continue beyond the field. Also, it’s not weird to say “hey, you’re pretty cool we should be friends!” So do that!

Soon! Returning guests will get early access, priority registration, and maybe even a discount or two, so be sure to stay subscribed to event emails and social media pages. Once you’ve done AFD once, you’re family.

We love feedback, especially if it involves ridiculous game ideas, helpful suggestions, or dramatic reenactments of things that went wrong. You’ll receive a post-event survey, or you can email us directly with your thoughts. Help us make next year even more unhinged (in a good way).

First, take a deep breath. Then shoot us an email, DM, or smoke signal. Our team of trained chaos coordinators will get you the info you need faster than someone pulling a hamstring in the three-legged race. No question is too weird (probably).
