• ONLY paint on the FRONT side of the Spirit Rock. Spray paint is the recommended paint to use, you may also use regular craft paint. Plan to use 2-3 cans of spray paint as the base coat. More or less could be used, depending on the coverage and color you are using. You may not use puffy paint, glitter, any item that may leave a sticky residue, or any other materials that are not easily painted over for the next reservation. NO tape, stickers, vinyl, laminate, oil based paint, or adhesive materials should be used. If any of the above listed products are used, you will be responsible for a $125 pressure washing fee to clean the Spirit Rock, in addition to your $25 reservation fee. 

• The family or organization must supply paint, rollers, brushes, ground protection materials, etc. No materials will be provided by KES or KES PTO.
