To ensure a safe, positive, and enriching experience for everyone, we kindly ask you to review the following behavioral expectations with your child before attending.
1.) Respect Others – Please treat fellow participants, instructors, and staff with kindness and respect. Listen when others are speaking and use polite language.
2.) Use Appropriate Behavior – No disruptive, aggressive, or unsafe behavior will be allowed. Keep hands and feet to yourself and use class materials only as instructed.
3.) Follow Directions & Stay Engaged – Pay attention to instructors and follow all instructions. Participate fully in activities, try your best, and encourage others.
4.) Be Responsible – Take care of personal belongings as well as any materials provided during the workshop.
5.) Respect the Space – Help tidy your workspace at the end of each day.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Sometimes, a camper might encounter a situation where another camper’s actions are negatively impacting their experience. Whether it’s disruptive behavior, unkind words, or something else- we encourage campers to talk to their camp instructor or one of our camp staff so that we can achieve a peaceful resolution.
Parents can also reach out to our staff if their camper shares that they are having an unpleasant experience due to another camper’s behavior. In this case, please call (513) 863 – 8873 ext. 132 or email kate@fittoncenter.org to get in touch with our Director of Education & Outreach.
Behavioral Offence Protocols
We understand that all campers are growing and learning, and in that process will make mistakes. Should a camper unintentionally violate any of the rules, we will address the situation with understanding and move forward. If a child repeatedly struggles to follow expectations, the following protocol will be followed:
1.) First major offence – The camper will receive a warning from the instructor and the parent/guardian will be notified at pick-up.
2.) Second major offence - The camper will receive a warning and the parent/guardian will be contacted immediately by phone for early pick-up. The camper may return the following day.
3.) Third and final offence – The camper will receive a warning and the parent/guardian will be contacted immediately by phone for early pick-up. The camper may not return to the remainder of camp. Please note that no refunds will be issued for any unattended days.
We never want to turn young artists away from camp. We will communicate any and all behavior concerns with parent/guardians as they arise so that we may work together on a positive path forward.
