DISCIPLINARY POLICY
Campers are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior while at camp. To provide campers and staff with a safe and enjoyable experience, the following guidelines have been developed. A caring and positive approach will be taken regarding discipline. Camp staff will reinforce appropriate behavior through positive reinforcement, clear statements, and redirection of activity. All campers must understand and follow the guidelines set forth.
Listed below is the three-step disciplinary procedure for campers exhibiting unacceptable behavior. Depending on the severity of the behavior, a particular step may be skipped (i.e., aggressive behavior will not be tolerated).
• Step 1: Verbal warning
• Step 2: Time out or time away from the group, based on age. During a time out, a camper may have to sit out from activities including games, crafts, or a special event. Parents/guardians will be notified of their child’s time out. Time outs for ages 5-6 will be 6 minutes; 10 minutes for ages 7-9; and 15 minutes ages 10-11.
• Step 3: Parent conference. If unacceptable behavior continues, the Camp Director or Assistant Camp Director will speak with the child and their parent/guardian. The parent/guardian will be required to sign a written warning and pick up the child from camp. After receiving two written warnings, the child will be expelled from camp. No refunds will be given. The staff will review these rules with campers on the first day of camp.
The staff will review these rules with campers on the first day of camp.
