2024 THEME: POSSIBILITIES OF PATTERN

An invitation to explore recognition of the self similar repeating patterns that create the conditioned phenomena available to experience in this world. A flexibility and rigor to recognize and interact with the apparent superstructures, finding skillful ways through, with, past and beyond.

Ideas explored: coherence/decoherence, omniinterregulated structuring, hot swapping capable DNA sequencers, Japanese metabolism architects, Drop City, torus knot topopolis warehouse massives, chronostasis cowboys, Vector Equilibrium jitterbugging, subtle harmonic benders, newly apparent aperiodic monotile tessellations, holobiant upgrades through groove transpositionists

OUR ART + YOUR ART

We invite you to bring your magic to plug it into the vortex. Disorient Country Club is an ephemeral dream that exists for one weekend only. Together we ride the spiral of this continually morphing long weekend of art, theme camps, art cars, art boats, and electronic and live music.

THINGS TO KNOW

GLOW STICKS

In 2017, due to some negligent littering of glow sticks, glow bracelets, glow necklaces, etc, clean up was a problem. Since then, our policy has been to ban these single use items. Please DO NOT bring them. We invite you to explore fiber optics, EL Wire and led strips to light up your night experience.

FIRES

Personal small fires are allowed at your camp, but must be kept off the ground, in fire dishes, and in well-cleared areas. Extreme care must be practiced to keep from scorching the land. Fires for large groups will be coordinated by Disorient production team.

DOGS

Dogs are welcome, but please be aware that sound can reach levels that are harmful to dogs’ sensitive ears. Please keep dogs away from the stage areas.

TICKS

Ticks are part of camping in Upstate New York. Please come armed with DEET and Permethrin.

PORNJ GUARD

Pornj Guards will be on site to help maintain a safe and consensual environment for all campers. Campers behaving aggressively will be warned once. If a second intervention is necessary, offending campers will be asked to leave.

WOOD FIRE SAUNA CABIN "THE ALL NIGHTER"

Open 24/7 for all over the age of 18.
Use good judgement with the onsite sauna. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted to use without direct guardian supervision.

LAKE

Swimming is permitted in the lake. Please feel free to bring floats, rafts, small boats etc. There is no lifeguard on duty, children under the age of 18 are not permitted to swim without direct guardian supervision.

LNT CODE OF CONDUCT

LEAVE NO TRACE

Country Club is a pack it in, pack it out experience. There are no trash cans onsite.

WHAT’S LNT? WHAT’S MOOP?

LNT is Leave No Trace that you were there. MOOP is Matter Out Of Place. Anything that is not natural to the Country Club grounds is MOOP. Flakes and ashes from burnt material also counts as MOOP. You take out every scrap of material you brought in. That includes all your garbage. DO NOT dispose of anything on the ground. Do a thorough MOOP sweep of your campsite before you leave.

LNT BEST PRACTICES

PLASTIC

Plastic disposable cups, just don’t. Bring your reusable cup.
Don’t throw plastic into fires. The fumes will make you feel funny, and not the good way.
Premiering at CCXii, for the first time at a Disorient event and aligned with our DIY mantra, we will operate our very own plastic recycling plant complete with a 2.2kw shredder. Everyone is invited to participate: bring your plastic waste free of organic matter to the Disorient Plastic Recycling plant. All plastics welcome. Plastic ONLY please. Thank you for rinsing food-related items first.

HIDE YOUR GARBAGE BAGS

People tend to throw their garbage into whatever open trash bag is available. If you do not want to take out loads of other people’s trash, consider a tarp to cover your trash. Also, it makes it easier to separate trash from recycling.

PACKAGING

You can reduce the amount of trash you have to take out by removing any excess packaging from your supplies before you arrive at the event.

CIGARETTES

Carry a butt can. Use it. Best practice- roll your smokes so you are not leaving filters to be picked up by our rockstar Disengage Team.

LEND A HAND

Some campers will be coming via bus and cannot bring out bags of trash. Please help these people if you can. If you can’t take extra garbage out, please gift some trash bags to the Disengage Crew.

CARDBOARD

Do not burn it. It surrounds the fire as a mess that is impossible to clean up.

UPON ARRIVAL

Welcome to Disorient Country Club. Map is unmarked beyond the basics as we are journeying into the unknown inviting all to explore pathways and regions to find what this year has hidden to discover.

SETTING UP CAMP

Please note the we have designated QUIET CAMPING. We ask you to respect those wishing a quieter experience in these areas. Open camping is available beyond the marked spots, the site encompasses over 100 acres.
Feel free to follow the forest roads and camp in whatever corner of the the forest calls to you.

The only limitations are camps cannot be setup where there is placed art and roads/paths must be kept open.

Please check in at the gate with any questions and our Lady of the Manor cell will assist you in locating a perfect camping spot for you and your crew. We encourage you to bring EZ ups and other shade structures to make your experience more comfortable. Hot tip: 6-8 inch lag bolts combined with an impact driver will make your tie down experience modern and easy.
We strongly encourage you to bring a tarp and rope or to hang a shade/rain common area for your camp. Much of the land is dense forest suitable to easily rigging a relaxing kingdom. Lay into this green lush oasis. Glamping encouraged.

RVS

Country Club minimally RV friendly. Limited number of RV passes available. The site does not offer RV hookups. All RVs must park within the designated RV Camping Site if weather is forecasted for wet ground. If decent RVs may be placed along the grounds.
