Section 1: Introduction

​By purchasing a ticket to BiCamp 2026, you are joining a community dedicated to celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community with a focus on Bisexual+ people from all walks of life. BiCamp UK CiC is a non-profit organisation committed to facilitating a welcoming, inclusive, and safer space for all.

This code of conduct is written to make sure we are all on the same page about our values when we come into a shared space - as we are a diverse community with various expectations and experiences.

​Our "utopia" is built on mutual respect. We ask all attendees to take an active bystander approach. 

The Active Bystander Core Principles: The 5 D's

​When you witness racism, transphobia, ableism or other forms of discrimination, you can use these five methods to intervene:

1. ​Direct: Speak up immediately. State that the behaviour is not okay.

2. ​Distract: Create a diversion to interrupt the interaction (e.g., asking for the time or starting a different conversation with the target).

3. ​Delegate: Ask for help from event staff, security, or another attendee.

4. ​Delay: Check in with the person who was targeted after the incident to offer support.

5. ​Document: Record or take notes of what happened (with the survivor's consent) to help with reporting.

 If we witness racism, transphobia, and ableism. Your attendance signifies your commitment to these values.

Section 2: The Community Contribution (Volunteer Requirement)

​Bi Camp is run entirely by volunteers. To keep our ticket costs affordable, we ask all attendees to complete a short volunteer shift during the event.

• ​Assignment: Roles are assigned based on personal preference and taking into account disabilities, levels of comfort with certain tasks etc there is something for everyone!  

• ​Purpose: This commitment by each attendee helps keep costs low and fosters community building, shares the labor between everyone - not just a few who get burnt out 

• ​Agreement: By purchasing a ticket, you agree to fulfill your assigned role to the best of your ability.

Some examples of tasks may include: 

• Prepping vegetables for a shared lunch 

• Signing people in 

• Sweeping floors 

• Emptying bins 

• Showing people to their rooms

Section 3: Inclusion and Accessibility

We have chosen a site with disabled access in mind. The main camp grounds are wheelchair accessible with disabled toilet and bathroom facilities. Our semi catered meals can also be provided for a range of allergy restrictions. As well as kitchen space, should you prefer to cook your own meals.
