Dear Parent/Guardian,
Please review the Rules and Behavior Policy before your child attends the first day of camp. Please sign below to acknowledge your understanding of our camp behavior expectations.
Our summer camp staff wishes to partner with parents in regards to classroom management and appropriate behavior choices. The camp staff will expect your child to do the following:
Respect authority and treat others kindly.
Listen to and follow directions.
Accept responsibility for their own actions.
Practice self-control and keep their hands to themselves.
Use positive and appropriate language.
Work cooperatively and participate in activities.
Stay together as a group, especially on field trips and walking trips.
Respect the property of Grace Lutheran Church and School and the people and places we visit.
Bullying will not be tolerated.
The camp staff will strive to emphasize and encourage positive behaviors and appropriate choices at camp. When needed, the following steps will be used to promote improved behavior and classroom management.
1. A verbal warning will be given to the student to encourage the appropriate and expected behavior.
2. The student will receive an age appropriate consequence for continued misbehavior, such as a time out, sitting out an activity, etc. If the behavior continues, a written report will be sent home with the student.
3. If behavior choices result in safety concerns, the student will be removed immediately from the group and placed in time-out with administration. Parents will be contacted and may be required to pick up their student, depending upon the severity of the infraction.
4. After a student has received three written reports and/or is placed with administration three times in a one week time period, the student will not be allowed to attend their next scheduled day of camp. No refunds will be given. Please be aware that the severity of the situation may warrant progressive steps to be skipped.
5. If behavior continues or negatively impacts the daily routine of camp, parents and administration will meet to implement a written behavior improvement plan with timelines for the child.
6. If behavior improvement does not occur per staff expectations, the child will be asked to leave our program. No refunds will be given.
