Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t have a car and I want to come to north star! Pls help

We've created a rideshare doc that lives in our discord, and have a channel for pairing open seats with carless butts. We won’t let you get stuck in portland. Do all you can, but if you fail, we got you. (isnt this such a nice thing about small events)

Where is it, exactly?

Elkenmist is 90 minutes from Portland. Here’s an approximate map point, for your planning needs

Ok nvm that sounds tight. What airport should I fly into?

we suggest pdx. its closest, and, if you need a ride, has the most attendees traveling to and from.

can you help me find a tent

absolutely. 1. we have a renting library stocked by other local north starians, and Elkenmist also is offering to rent some folks some tents. You’ll want to confirm with someone that you can borrow a tent from them! This will be facilitated by the north star discord server - the invite to which you'll get when you register.

How many people will be there

as of 6/30, we have 45 people attending and more are joining every day. We expect 50-100.

Start and end time

Thursday morning & afternoon will be people rolling in, setting up, and settling in. 11:30am gates open. we'll be "done" on 4pm sunday, but the blessed among you may feel like sticking around to assist with breakdown.

Can I help?

Love that energy. volunteering is a great way to make friends and feel like you've got something specific to do. IT's also a great way to support the event. Breakfast set up, altar set up, camp takedown, parking on Thursday- all these things will be ripe for help.

who’s cooking for 100 people?

Elkenmist’s own resident caterer Sarah will be planning prepping and serving lunch & dinner for us each day. Breakfast will be a more laid back affair set out by sarah and assembled by volunteers.

Cancellation policy?

50% refund before July 3rd

What's the campground like?

125 acres of fields and forests ft. a shaded orchard and many hiking trails.
