Camp Guidelines

Radical Accountability

The people in our camp are completely accountable for their own actions. This means we strive to be self-moderating according to The Ten Principles. Focus on what's in your control; accept what's not.

In more practical terms being radically accountable is being radically (as opposed to brutally) honest with yourself and your values. Don't go along with others because it's easier. Listen to your body and all the parts of you. Practice responding to your emotions before acting. Notice sensations, and thoughts. Don't get sucked into acting on a thought or feeling just because it arises.

Enthusiastic Consent

Our camp values enthusiastic consensual interactions between humans, and ultimately all life forms. This includes asking permission to take photos, give hugs, provide touch or play, and all forms of interaction through communication and acknowledgment. This means hearing and honoring the informed and enthusiastic consent of those we interact with. We respect other people’s “No” as well as their “Yes.” When in doubt we ask ask for clarification. A “Maybe” in word or body language is NOT an enthusiastic yes.

We believe that consent plays a vital part in creating peace and goodwill. Our vision is that all parties feel empowered to participate as they feel comfortable, by “opting in” from a place of enthusiasm and autonomy.

Safety Third

We must accept SOME level of risk for any activity. While safety is still important, a top three consideration, it is not the primary objective in our camp. We each have a responsibility to keep ourselves (and our dependents) safe while having fun and enjoying the event. Love Burn, and our camp, is an environment that is more free, and less safe, than many other commoditized events you might participate in. Please keep that in mind when preparing and participating with us.
