The SeaCats Rules
Welcome to the SeaCats, a crew dedicated to creativity, community, and making a positive impact. These rules are the foundation of how we work together, ensuring that every member feels valued, every action has purpose, and every moment is memorable. When challenges arise, lead with empathy, use de-escalation techniques like the ones mentioned, and remember why we’re here.
These rules contain both the original 10 Rapscallions rules as well as SeaCat specific rules.
Kindness and Consent
Kindness and respect are at the heart of the SeaCats. Treat everyone fairly, seek consent in all interactions, and create a safe environment for everyone.
Example Challenges:
Challenge: You’re feeling overwhelmed during setup and find yourself snapping at a campmate.
What to Do: Pause and acknowledge your frustration in the moment. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap. I’m feeling a bit stressed right now. Let me take a second to collect myself so we can get back on track.”
Challenge: Someone’s humor unintentionally makes another person uncomfortable.
What to Do: Redirect the moment. “I think that joke might’ve landed wrong—let’s keep things light and make sure everyone feels good here.”
Respect the Crew and the Mission
Every SeaCat was chosen for their passion and commitment to our mission. From Captains to Deckhands, everyone’s role is essential, and we thrive when we respect each other’s time, energy, and contributions.
Example Challenges:
Challenge: A crew member is venting frustrations in a way that feels disruptive.
What to Do: Acknowledge their feelings while setting boundaries. “I can see you’re upset. Let’s step aside and talk about it so we don’t disrupt the group.”
Challenge: You notice someone frequently missing camp responsibilities.
What to Do: Approach them privately. “Hey, I’ve noticed you’ve been stepping back a bit. Is everything okay? How can we support you?”
Protect and Represent Our Symbols
The 10 Rapscallions SeaCats’ symbols—our Not-So-Jolly Roger, armbands, flags, and shirts—are reminders of our mission to protect the Earth, aid others, and create safe spaces. Wear and display them with pride and responsibility.
Example Challenges:
Challenge: Someone asks to borrow the SeaCats flag for an unrelated event.
What to Do: Set expectations. “Our flag represents our mission. You’re welcome to invite us to the event, but we keep it for uses specific to our cause.”
Challenge: You hear criticism about the crew while wearing SeaCats gear.
What to Do: “I’m sorry you feel that way. We’re all about making a positive impact—what can we do better?”
Leave No Trace and Stay Eco-Friendly
The SeaCats follow burner principles: Leave no trace and reduce waste. Keep the camp clean, recycle responsibly, and be mindful of our environmental impact.
Example Challenges:
Challenge: Trash builds up at the fire pit.
What to Do: “I’ll grab a bag and clean this up so we stay on top of it.”
Challenge: Festival-goers leave empty water bottles on the ground.
What to Do: “Hey, When you are done with the water, bring your bottles back to our camp—we will recycle them for you!”
Support the Camp and Festival
Our camp is part of a larger festival community. Contribute to the camp’s success and volunteer to support the event as a whole.
Examples:
Help with setup, maintenance, and running camp activities.
Volunteer within the festival’s inner workings—hydration stations, gate support, etc.
Walk the grounds handing out free water, reminding people to hydrate and return empty bottles to our recycling bin.
Radical Self-Reliance and Participation
Be prepared to take care of yourself while actively contributing to the camp. Bring what you need to thrive and dive into group activities. Your participation keeps the SeaCats vibrant and strong.
Examples:
Bring your essentials (water, snacks, gear) and extras to share if possible.
Volunteer for tasks like setup, hydration stations, or cooking.
When in doubt, try something new: “Why not? I’ll give it a shot!”
Radical Inclusion and Self-Expression
The SeaCats celebrate diversity, individuality, and creativity. Express yourself authentically and welcome others into the fold with open arms.
Example Challenges:
Challenge: Someone seems hesitant to join a group activity.
What to Do: “Hey, we’re about to do a hydration demo—want to join us?”
Challenge: You feel nervous about trying something new.
What to Do: think this… “I’ll give it a go! What’s the best that can happen?”
