Field Day Policies & Registration Information

Field Days take place on 16 acres of natural river land in western Wisconsin. Please review our event policies regarding cancellations, terrain, weather, and what to bring before registering.

LOCATION

Field Days take place on private river land in western Wisconsin, approximately 90 minutes from the Twin Cities. To protect the privacy of the land and the experience of our guests, the exact address will be shared with registered participants the week of the event.

OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT
Materfield is a natural, rural property. Participants should expect:

  • Uneven ground and natural trails

  • Insects and wildlife

  • Outdoor off-grid restroom facilities

  • Limited infrastructure (poor cell reception, free from wifi and electricity)

  • Occasional farm sounds and smells from neighboring properties


Please dress appropriately for outdoor conditions and bring any personal items needed for comfort, such as:

  • A reusable water bottle

  • Appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear

  • Sun protection and insect repellent as needed

WEATHER POLICY

Field Days are held rain or shine. Outdoor conditions are part of the experience.

In the event of severe weather or unsafe conditions, participants will be notified if an event must be postponed or cancelled.

AMENITIES AT MATERFIELD

  • Outdoor restroom facilities

  • Drinking water

Event-specific supply lists will be included on individual event pages and pre-field-days email correspondence.

CELL SERVICE AND NAVIGATION

Cell service in the area can be limited or unreliable.

Participants are encouraged to:

  • Review directions prior to departure

  • Screenshot or print any important information

  • Allow extra travel time if unfamiliar with rural roads


CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations must be made at least 14 days prior to the event to receive a refund (less a $25 administration fee).
