☝️ Group Policy & Camp Guidelines 🤝
We want this camp to be a space where everyone feels safe, included, and inspired. To help make that happen, we ask all participants to:

• Be respectful to others—including fellow campers, staff, and other guests at the lodge
• Join activities with an open mind and a positive spirit
• Keep drinking moderate and behavior considerate, especially in shared spaces
• Communicate any concerns or needs with the organizer

We rarely have issues, but just so it's clear:
If someone behaves in a way that puts others at risk or disrupts the group atmosphere, we may ask them to leave the event. We hope it never comes to that—but the safety and well-being of the group comes first.
Thanks for helping us create a fun, welcoming, and memorable camp together!🌿

Thanks for being part of the community—we hope to make our summer memorable with you all!
