==Question and Answer==
What is the best way to stay informed about Team:Family?
How do I volunteer as a parent for my children
Do you need help with FamilyZone
In your experiences: Is this event safe and child friendly?
One of our other parents described it nicely on our list:
"It really depends on the parents and their expectations.
Just sharing my own experiences.
My eldest learned to walk at one of the previous camps and I've seen
plenty of young kids & even babies being brought along with their
parents to one of the various Dutch, German and Belgium hacker camps
I've attended over the years."
Can I bring my children of all ages? Or is there minimum age?
There will most definitely be more young kids and Team:Family aims to accommodate for all age groups as best we can.
How old is the oldest? How young is the youngest?
Is there a childcare facility, so I can volunteer?
What ages are there at the camp during the event?
Buildup and kids
Can I bring my kids during buildup?
Please note that during build up kids <12 are not allowed on the terrain. Older kids (12+) can help but have to be under adult supervision and wear a hi-vis vest AT ALL TIMES when outside their own tent. Even during non-working hours. If they don't help with build up, they have to be in the designated safe area.
Can I help you out in buildup and during the event?
