What To Expect |
Sleeplessness |
One thing that most people do not know is how noisy it is when sleeping in public. For most homeless people this noise comes from cars driving by, random lights shutting off and on, people walking by, screaming shouting fighting. The atmosphere at the CCFTH will be similar. This is because there will be people onsite all night setting up the festival. It will not be a peaceful night’s sleep. But that’s ok, because you’re doing this as a sacrifice for the homeless. |
|
Hunger |
This is a night of fasting. You will not be allowed to bring food with you. |
|
Prayer Time |
We encourage all participants to take personal time to pray and intercede for the homeless. To pray not for your own needs but to focus on the needs of others and to bring them up in prayer. |
|
Personal Hygiene |
There will not be showers in the morning. You will have the opportunity to use a bathroom in the morning to change clothes, put on some deodorant, style your hair, brush your teeth
Shaving will not be allowed |

| Donating |
| Participants will have the opportunity after the Cardboard Campout to donate a canned food item or their sleeping bag and pillow to the Denver Rescue Mission. |
