We respectfully acknowledge the unceded traditional territory of the Tseshaht, Hupacasath First Nations, and the traditional keepers of their land since time immemorial. We offer our respect and gratitude to the Tseshaht and Hupacasath people, past and present, who have stewarded these lands throughout the generations. We commit to working in solidarity with the host nations towards decolonization and reconciliation, and acknowledge the ongoing impact of colonization, which continues to harm Indigenous communities to this day. We want to say thank you for allowing us to live, work, and play on your lands.
Registration is now open! Whether you're joining as a family, group of friends, colleagues, or flying solo, secure your spot early as spaces are limited and filling up fast!

Rest assured, our colour powders are crafted with food and cosmetic grade ingredients, ensuring they are safe for both you and the environment. Our supplier meticulously sources and tests these ingredients to meet the highest standards of safety and quality.
If you get a small amount in your eyes, simply flush with water. Or better yet, wear the funky sunglasses you'll find in your goody bag.
Inhaling a small amount of color powder dust will result in colorful boogers, but isn’t harmful.
-
Cleaning is as easy as brushing or blowing off a majority of the colour powder, then a little soap and water will take care of the rest.
Cleaning off your skin and hair is similar to dusting off dry dirt. Most of it can be removed by shaking and dusting yourself off. The remaining will go away with a bath or shower.
Most clothing can be washed as normal without staining. If staining occurs on white clothing, it can be cleaned with laundry whitener.
