| == Shift Tasks ==
| |
| | |
| While on shift, Rangers may need to do a variety of tasks. These could include but are not limited to:
| |
| * Walk around the event: We try to have rangers check on all areas of the event periodically.
| |
| * Stay in one place for a while: it’s recommended to hang out and chill with other participants, especially if it’s a quiet day and there are a couple teams of rangers on.
| |
| * Assist participants in acclimating to the woods and the community.
| |
| * Answer questions like:
| |
| ** Where are the porta potties?
| |
| ** Where can I camp?
| |
| ** Can I light my art on fire?
| |
| * Help out agitated and disoriented participants.
| |
| ** They may need to go to Sanctuary
| |
| ** They may need medical attention
| |
| * Mediate situations and disputes between participants.
| |
| * Address and report any instances of non-consensual physical or sexual assault.
| |
| * Inform participants of potentially hazardous weather situations.
| |
| * Maintain safety perimeters and scene control as needed.
| |
| * Provide other non-confrontational mediation and safety activities as needed.
| |
| * Mobilize medical, law enforcement, fire response, or other life-safety services.
| |
| * Just hang out: maintain a presence at the event & forge relationships with the community.
| |
| * Have fun!
| |
| | |
| Some shifts will be intense, most of the time “boring”.
| |
| | |
| == Rangers balance helping and staying out of the way ==
| |
| | |
| Keeping participants safe & happy/being helpful
| |
| | |
| Not getting in way of people’s experiences
| |
| | |
| == Rangers do nothing! ==
| |
| What is the main thing we do as Rangers? Nothing!
| |
| | |
| * Active process
| |
| * Let things play out
| |
| * Intervene as little as possible
| |
| * Goal to get participants to solve their own problems
| |
| * Sometimes just being there is a reminder to participants to think about their behavior
| |
| | |
| == Rangers have fun! ==
| |
| | |
| * Participate!
| |
| * Engage!
| |
| * Chill!
| |
| * Wander!
| |
| * Enjoy Art!
| |
| | |
| == Rangers stay aware, alert, sober & available! ==
| |
| | |
| It is possible to have “too much fun.” Engaging in an activity where you cannot stay aware, alert or available is not appropriate for a Ranger shift. For example, cuddle puddles do not need Rangering.
