ADA & ACCOMMODATIONS
The entire venue is made up of hills and uneven terrain which includes dirt roads that run throughout. There is not a one-size fits all ADA capability. If you have specific needs that you do not mind sharing in order for us to give you the best advice please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll be more than happy to help!
For persons with mobile disabilities, we recommend Hilltop Camping which will give you close proximity between your vehicle and camp site. The shuttle which operates daily from approx 2-3pm start time based on demand until about 1am and can transport you from Hilltop to multiple locations within Main Camp, which includes all stages. We have ADA parking adjacent to Hilltop on a flat surface.
Please email us at [email protected] for further assistance.
DEAF ACCOMMODATIONS
As just a few examples of our standard processes, our festival staff are trained to communicate in writing (e.g., pen & paper or electronic devices) with patrons who are hearing-impaired. We employ a text messaging system so that we can communicate with ticket holders in the event of on-site emergencies. Written signs & placards are placed throughout around the property to help with navigating our large, beautiful grounds.
SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY
As a Church, Four Quarters InterFaith is specifically exempt from ADA Service Dog statute. However, Four Quarters is extremely supportive of legitimate Service Dogs and their owners.
* Absolutely NO PETS of any kind are allowed at Four Quarters.
* Only DOGS qualify as Service Animals under Federal Law.
* Emotional Support Animals are not Service Dogs, and are not permitted at Four Quarters.
* Service Dogs at Four Quarters must be preregistered (at no charge) to attend an event at Four Quarters.
* Service Dogs in training are not Service Dogs under Federal Law and will be permitted on a case by case basis.
* Service Dogs at Four Quarters must wear a “Service Dog” labeled harness, we prefer that they are registered.
* The Service Dog must at all times be tethered to and/or in the full control of their owner unless engaged in the disability mitigation task for which they are trained.
* A Service Dog may never be handled by or tethered to a person other than their owner.
* The Service Dog must always be in “Full Stay” command position when not performing the service for which they have been trained.
* The Service Dog must be fully trained to urinate or defecate only under the control of their owner.
* We will ask, ” What work or task has this animal been trained to perform to mitigate your disability?”
* In order to be considered a “Service Dog” under U.S. federal law, a dog must be partnered with an individual with a disability AND perform specific, trained task work to mitigate that disability. Task work is not optional. If a dog doesn’t perform task work, it is not a Service Dog.
In closing, if your Service Animal is registered with a volunteer registry, wearing a marked Service Dog harness and fully trained; you will find our staff and attendees very supportive of your teams presence here at Four Quarters. Welcome!
