Weather

  • Tents are temporary structures designed to provide limited protection from weather conditions, primarily sun and rain. However, there may be situations, particularly those involving strong winds and lightning, in which the tents will not provide protection and may even be damaged or blown over.
  • Evacuation of tents to avoid possible injury is recommended when severe weather threatens the area where the tent is erected. People must leave the tents and not seek shelter in tents during such conditions. Because it may be difficult to determine if the weather is severe enough to necessitate evacuation, it is best to err on the side of caution. In other words, if in doubt, evacuate!

  • CRUX will not provide any refunds due to adverse weather conditions.
