I am a new spinner, what skill level do I have to be at to attend?

All skills are welcome! The workshops offered are suitable for multi-levels or otherwise state the level being taught. Spin Out is an excellent opportunity to challenge yourself, become inspired and meet other people within the spinning community.

Will I be able to participate in all the workshops?
Unfortunately no, however each workshop is presented twice so you if you miss it in once time slot you can try to catch it the next time. The schedule has been created in a way that offers variety and many options for attendees without over stressing Spin Out Instructors.

If you have ordered your ticket online you will not receive a physical ticket, instead your name, e-mail and preferred prop has been recorded and the guest list will be available at the front door check-in.

Can I bring kids to Spin Out?

Yes. Children 12 and older are welcome to participate with a parent at regular Spin Out pricing.

Can I bring my dog or pet to Spin Out?

No, do not bring any pets or animals of any kind.

Can I attend Spin Out for just one or two days?

Currently we are not selling individual day tickets to Spin Out. If you have to miss a day of the event due to prior obligations, remember that it’s a shame to miss a day but it would be an even bigger shame to miss the entire event. I’ve arrived late at events before and was always happy I made the choice to join the fun.

Can I bring my fire toys?

Yes, but you will only be able to use it during the designated fire workshop and jam. Spin Out is located at a summer camp and is surrounded by beautiful woodland. There will be a Fire Safety workshop that includes the opportunity for virgin burners to spin fire for the first time. Followed by performances by instructors and an open fire jam. If you bring fuel to Spin Out DO NOT keep it in your cabin, drop it off at the front desk during check-in.

Is there food at Spin Out?

Yes! We have a caterer on site who will be serving up delicious vegetarian and non-vagetarian options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is recommended that you bring additional food and snacks to keep yourself going in between workshops. If you have an early entry ticket you will need to bring food to eat during the day Friday as the potluck is not until the evening.
