FWBs

Friends With Benefits

Yes, the good kind.

At Rogue Rope Camp, care isn’t something the organizers provide.
It’s something we all create — together, moment by moment.

This year, anyone can be an FWB. And we mean anyone.

Friend With Benefits = someone who’s willing to show up for others.
To hold space. To offer support. To check in. To notice.

Not all the time. Just when you feel able. Just when it’s real.

FWBs aren’t staff. They’re you.
And when you’re ready to offer care, you show it by putting on a bracelet.

  • Bracelets = Consent to Care
    When you feel grounded and resourced enough to be available for others, slip on a FWB bracelet. That’s your quiet signal: “I’m here if you need me.”

  • No Pressure, No Performance
    You can take it off at any time. There’s no expectation to stay “on” all weekend. Your own capacity matters just as much as anyone else’s needs.

  • Anyone Can Step In
    This isn’t a special role. It’s a shared one. We all have moments where we can be the calm in the storm — and moments when we can’t.

Because care can’t be outsourced.
Because the orga team can’t hold it all — and shouldn’t.
Because we believe in shared responsibility, not designated heroes.
Because we want to see what happens when a whole camp decides to care for each other.

This bracelet system lets us flow in and out of service — with consent, clarity, and freedom.

  • You’re feeling wobbly and need grounding
  • You need help navigating a tricky emotional moment
  • You’re not sure who to talk to about something that feels off
  • You just need someone to walk with for a minute

FWBs aren’t therapists or security. They’re fellow campers.
If more support is needed, they’ll help connect you with Consent Crew or orga.

We’re not building a support team.
We’re building a support culture.

And it starts with trust — that you’ll step up when you can, and step back when you can’t.
That someone will see you. That someone will stay.

So if it feels right, slip on the bracelet.
And if you need care? Look for one glowing on someone’s wrist.

We’ve got each other.
That’s what makes this camp work. fwbs
