Please review this Code of Conduct with your child before attending camp. Counselors will also review it with campers on the first day.
As a camper, I agree to:
Be a responsible and positive member of the camp community
Treat others with kindness, consideration, and respect
Think ahead about the consequences of my actions
Resolve conflicts peacefully and respectfully
Care for and protect the natural environment
Be honest in my words and actions
Try my best, even when things are challenging
Bullying is a serious issue that goes beyond teasing or hurt feelings. At camp, we are committed to fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and emotional safety. Bullying of any kind is not tolerated within the camp community.
Campers who initiate or participate in bullying behavior may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including being sent home from camp.
Please talk with your child about bullying before attending camp, and encourage them to speak with a counselor or staff member if they experience or witness bullying. Camp staff are trained to respond promptly and appropriately to all reports of bullying.
Counselors use positive reinforcement, clear expectations, and age-appropriate guidance to help campers follow the Code of Conduct. When behavior concerns arise, staff will respond in a fair, respectful, and developmentally appropriate manner.
If behavior issues continue, camp staff may implement consequences based on the severity and frequency of the behavior, which may include:
Time away from the group to regroup with staff support
A phone call to the parent(s) or caregiver
Being sent home from camp
If a camper continues to experience behavior challenges, camp staff will inform and consult with parents or caregivers whenever possible. Campers may be sent home immediately for behavior that poses a risk to themselves or others, or that significantly disrupts the camp experience for other campers.
The safety, well-being, and positive experience of all campers and staff are our highest priorities. While we strive to support every camper’s success, there are times when early dismissal from camp may be necessary.
A camper may be dismissed from camp if their behavior:
Poses a risk to their own safety or the safety of others
Involves bullying, harassment, or intimidation
Includes physical violence, threats, or destruction of property
Repeatedly violates the Camp Code of Conduct despite staff intervention
Significantly disrupts the camp experience for other campers or staff
Certain behaviors may result in immediate dismissal without prior warnings, depending on severity.
