Idaho Decompression 2018 will be held on October 4th through 7th at Twin Springs Resort.
![]() Bring it. Do it. Live it. This event is what YOU make it - If you think something needs to be added to Decomp - take action and do it! It's called Do-ocracy: and that is what makes this event thrive. A do-ocracy is an organizational structure in which individuals choose roles and tasks for themselves and execute them. Responsibilities attach to people who do the work, rather than elected or selected officials.
This is a WEEKEND CAMPING EVENT. Bring everything you need to survive a weekend in the wilderness. We've listed some basics for you here:
* NO FIREWORKS * NO FIREARMS * NO HAND-HELD LASERS * *NO PERSONAL FIRE PANS* ** NO EXCEPTIONS ** FIRES - Idaho is considered an extremely high fire risk most of the summer. Federal burn bans are usually still in place when Decomp is held. Our Decomp committee is up to date and current on burn ban regulations and our priority is to protect our forests and wild lands. It is important to stick to our policy regarding fire at Decomp. It has been created for a very good reason and goes something like this: Yes we will do everything in our power to burn stuff. Our DPW crew and our Safety crew work together with our Security Crew and Red Truck Wildfire Fire Protection Services to create a safe place for art to burn. Artists interested in burning are also trained and provided a detailed check list for safe burning. Yes we have trained firefighters on site with water trucks and Emergency plans in place with Boise County. Please don't interfere with safety protocols that have been implemented. Yes we will provide warming fires for your lil bods. Fires are to remain in Decomp provided raised burn barrels ONLY. These burn barrels are equipped with screens and tools to keep accidental fires to a minimum and are only to be used when regulations allow. We have some wood to share, but not an unlimited supply. Please be respectful when re-fueling a community burn barrel not to fill it to the top and please replace the screen that is provided. No you cannot bring your personal fire pan. No you cannot make a fire pit at the venue. No tiki torches or open flames will be allowed. Yes you can bring wood to burn. Propane is the new fire. Look into it. Pack it in - Pack it out This is a LEAVE NO TRACE Event. You brought it. You take it home. Even that compo-stable orange peel you tossed on the ground...oranges don't grow in Idaho, so why would an orange peel be welcome in our wilderness? It's not. Nor are nut shells, banana peels, and especially not cigarette butts and aluminum cans. There will NOT be
garbage receptacles available. DO NOT THROW YOUR GARBAGE AWAY on the
road. It’s not a thing. Do a MOOP
pick up after you have packed up and before you drive away. Please help us in returning our venue to the way it was before we got there. Its one of the 10 principles we strive to live by. 2018 Decomp WWW If your theme camp has an event that you would like in the WWW, please email that information to guide@idahodecompression.com by September 21st.

Heather Joy Palmer - Artist This has been an ongoing piece for about a year. It is ever evolving and now features all of the totems having the ability to spin freely making it quite entertaining for festival goers. This piece, in all it's different forms, has been displayed at the 2017 and 2018 konnexion, 2017 eclipse, and 2018 Sensory Illumination. I plan on taking it many more places as I perfect it throughout the years. You're My Larry - Art Piece The founder of Burning Man may have left us and yet his ideals of the world we can create continues.
