NW LAND CAMP CODE OF CONDUCT
In accordance with our commitment to equity, Land Camp is dedicated to providing a welcoming experience for everyone. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form.
This code of conduct applies to all Land Camp spaces, including, but not limited to, Land Camp’s in-person conference, online and in-person workshops, social media, networking events, field trips, evening hangouts, on-campus housing, and all other Land Camp programming. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of Land Camp.
Some Land Camp spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.
Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to:
Discriminatory actions or offensive comments related to race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, and other aspects of identity.
Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
Deliberate misgendering or use of "dead" or rejected names.
Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
Physical contact without consent or after a request to stop.
Threats of violence.
Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
Deliberate intimidation.
Stalking or following.
Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
Sustained disruption of discussion.
Unwelcome sexual attention.
Patterns of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting or assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.
Continued one-on-one communication and/or requests for sharing contact information after initial denial or requests to cease.
Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent, except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
Publication of non-harassing private communication.
Repeated communication without a response.
Deliberate misuse of shared contact information for purposes other than what the intent was.
Reporting
If you experience harassment or discrimination in a Land Camp space, notice that someone else is experiencing harassment or discrimination, or have any other concerns, please report it by emailing Land Camp at info@nwlandcamplorg, or, if on-site, by contacting a Land Camp staff member.
Consequences
Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in inappropriate behavior, Land Camp may take any action they deem appropriate, including warnings or expulsion from all Land Camp spaces with no refund.
