Camp Policies

We look forward to working with you and making sure that your kids have a fun, safe, exciting experience! Certain policies have been developed in order to assure their safety and well-being. The camp reserves the right, upon notification of parents/guardians, to dismiss any camper during any session for improper dress, conduct, language, or attitude which, in the judgment of the administrative or counseling staff, is deemed detrimental to the other campers or smooth operation of the camp. If in the judgment of the administrative or counseling staff, your child's conduct violates the following rules and regulations, they may be dismissed without refund of fees and/or referred to appropriate authorities.

General Policies

  1. You may not possess, use, distribute or sell alcoholic beverages, drugs, firearms, weapons (including knives) or fireworks.
  2. You may not possess or use any tobacco products or e-cigarettes while in attendance at camp.
  3. If you are found tampering with any fire equipment (i.e. fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, etc) you will be dismissed from camp immediately. Also, University officials are required by law to report the responsible individual(s) to local authorities who will fine and may prosecute them under State Statute 941.13 (which calls for a fine of up to $500 or imprisonment of not more than one year or both).
  4. You may not interfere with any security system or tamper with locks in any area of campus.

  15. Commuter Campers Drop-Off/Pick-Up Policy: Parents/Guardians are advised to drop-off/pick-up campers promptly at the start and end of each camp day. Staff members are on site 30 minutes before camp begins and 15 minutes after camp concludes. Failure to pick up your camper on time will result in a supervisory charge of $15 per hour.

Discipline Behavior

Camp staff is trained to model and enforce age-appropriate behavior guidelines and reflective communication. We encourage self-control, self-direction, responsibility and cooperation. We will do our best to provide behavioral support to any camper demonstrating a need or disrupting a camp. Open communication between guardians and camp is considered key in terms of effective discipline.

If the child’s behavior is extremely disruptive and/or harmful to themselves or others, a parent may be asked to remove the child from camp for the remainder of the day. The camp reserves the right, upon notification of parents, to dismiss any camper during any session for improper conduct, language, dress or attitude which, in the judgment of the summer camp administrative and counseling staff, is detrimental to the well-being of other campers or smooth operation of the camp.
