== 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.
