​Rooted Realms is a neuro-inclusive, safe, and welcoming space where players. ages 11-17, gather to connect, collaborate, and have fun. To help everyone enjoy their experience, we ask all participants to follow these community guidelines:

​

Respect & Inclusion

• Be kind and inclusive, everyone belongs here.

• We celebrate the diversity of how people think, feel, communicate, and engage with the world.

​

Fair Play & Sportsmanship

• Win or lose, we practice good and supportive sportsmanship.

• Take turns, follow game rules, and keep play fair.

• Celebrate effort and teamwork as much as winning.

​

Personal Space & Boundaries

• Personal space is important and looks different for everyone. Always ask before entering someone’s space or handling their things.

• We all have different comfort levels, and only engage in physical interaction when it’s part of the game and welcomed by others.

​

Communication & Conflict

• Use words or other communication tools to express yourself kindly; every way of communicating is valid.

• If a conflict arises, ask a game coach for support, we're here to help.

• No teasing, name-calling, or exclusion of any kind.

​

Shared Equipment & Devices

• Take care of all shared consoles, tables, and controllers.

• Bringing your own device? Please use it respectfully and follow staff guidance.

• To help create a safe, focused, and community-centered environment, we do not allow unsupervised internet browsing or YouTube use during club time. This helps reduce exposure to inappropriate content, distractions, and overstimulation, and encourages connection through shared games and activities

• We balance screen time with other kinds of engagement, some activities will include outdoor exploration or unplugged play to support regulation, connection, and variety.

​

Transition & Nature Time

• We end each session with a nature-based cool-down, which might look like a peaceful nighttime trail walk, hanging out in the garden play area, basketball or ping pong on the patio. 

• Use this time to relax, reconnect, and wind down from screen time.

​

Food & Drink

• Healthy snacks and drinks are provided.

• Let us know about any allergies or dietary needs on the registration form.
