We work together in order to build community, keep ticket prices low, feel purposeful, and create an environment of giving. We seriously can't pull this off without you! Regardless of what tier ticket you bought we ask everyone to sign up for a shift at FreakDown.

The following is a list of our current volunteer crews. Crews are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis and based on the needs of the event. In most cases, the crew lead will reach out to you before the event to coordinate shift times. For all others, there will be a short crew orientation on Saturday morning. 

KITCHEN:  We provide breakfast and dinner at FreakDown and we need all the help we can get in the kitchen! Plan to help with 1-2 shifts throughout the event.

ARTIST RELATIONS: Receive and orient artists/performers as they arrive (particularly if they arrive outside of registration times), and generally support artists on site. Work with camp hosts to mark off camping areas, and help coordinate communication with the tech team.

COFFEE & TEA: If you are an early morning riser, this crew is for you! Make sure to have coffee and tea ready by 7:30am.

FIRE CREW: Work with fire crew lead to make sure fire extinguishing systems are in place and understand fire suppression protocols. Some of the shifts require staying up late to monitor the fire pit.

FIRST AID: You must have medical training to be on this crew (WFA, WFRR, EMT, Paramedic, Doctor, Naturopath, etc). We are 15 min away from town, and 45 minutes from the closest urgent care therefore, we want to make sure there are people around who can help in case of an emergency. There are no shifts for this crew, we will ask you to identify yourself in the welcome circle so attendees know who you are.

PRE-EVENT DECOR & AMBIANCE: Focus on setting up, decorating and beautifying the space. Must arrive by Tuesday night and be ready to work Wednesday morning (8/14) at 10am.

AMBIANCE RESET:  Beautify the space during the event by helping to either turn off lights at night or by reseting and tidying common areas in the mornings. This crew is split up to accommodate early risers and night owls.

REGISTRATION: Check people in at registration. Must have attention to detail and good interpersonal skills. Must arrive by Thursday at noon (8/15) and ready to work by 4 PM.  

SANITATION: Empty trash, recycling and compost bins. Restock supplies in porta potties and hand washing stations. This work happens multiple times daily as needed throughout the event. Shifts are short and easy.

SHUTTLE CREW: Shuttle cars to offsite parking lot 1 mile away. Must be sober during shift and have valid drivers license. Need to be onsite by the morning of Thursday (8/15) and ready to work by noon.

SET UP: Help with pre-event responsibilities of prepping the land, structures and technical requirements of the event. Must arrive on or before Wednesday morning (8/14).

TAKE DOWN: Help with general deconstruction and cleanup. Must be able to stay the full day on Monday (8/19). If you can stay additional days, we have a few discounted tickets available.

TRIANGLE CAMP CREW: Welcome people as they arrive to the Triangle (camping area) and show them available camping spaces. Triangle camp lead will train you on property boundaries, site orientation and camping protocol. Shifts are either Thursday (8/15) or Friday (8/16).

TECH: SOUND & LIGHTING: Assist with the set up and running of sound, lighting and stage management. It is preferred that you have some basic stage tech experience.

VIBE RANGERS: This is our security team. During your shift you will ensure that everyone is staying safe with respect for the land and our neighbors and with your shift partner, you will walk the perimeter of the property to maintain awareness of the surroundings. All shifts are after dark so this crew is great for night owls.

WATER CREW: Make sure that hand-washing and drinking water stations are full and replenished daily and as needed throughout the event. Water refills are short and easy but happen frequently.
