Expectations

We built this camp to hold us.
But a space alone isn’t enough.
It’s the people — and the agreements between us — that make it real.

This isn’t a list of rules.
It’s an invitation.

To show up.
To take care.
To be brave, and soft, and honest.
To be kind — especially when it’s hard.

What we ask of you:

Consent comes first. Always.
Get it clearly. Give it freely. Tune in to words and to silence.
Be grateful when someone trusts you with their truth.

Respect the humans around you.
Every person here carries a story.
Be mindful. Be curious. Ask before touching. Honor pronouns. Celebrate difference.

Speak what’s real.
Say what you mean. Hear what’s said.
When things feel tender, choose clarity. It’s a form of care.

Stay present.
Let the outside world wait. Be here — with your body, your breath, your attention.

Be generous.
Offer what you can: your time, your skills, your mischief, your warmth.
It all counts — from tying a knot to stirring the soup.

Own your impact.
We all fuck up. What matters is what you do next.
Apologize. Repair. Learn. Grow.

Play with awareness.
Kink, sex, BDSM — they’re welcome here.
But never at the cost of safety or consent.
Know your edges. Respect others’. Be gentle with power.

Conflict happens.
Don’t let it fester. We have people who can help.
Mediation is available. So is care. So is space.

Take care of yourself.
Eat. Hydrate. Rest.
Ask for what you need.
You’re not here to push through — you’re here to be whole.

Leave room for magic.
Some moments can’t be planned.
The best ones often begin with: “I didn’t know I needed this.”

If we show up like this — with presence, with care —
we create something rare.
A place where people feel safe.
A place where connection runs deep.
A place that lives in your bones long after you leave.

Let’s build that. Together.
