Discipline Policy Summer Camp at Wesley Gardens should be a memorable and enjoyable experience for all children who attend. The inappropriate, disruptive, abusive or dangerous behavior of even a single child can disrupt that experience for an entire group. To prevent this from occurring we have established a discipline policy. On the first day of each session, this policy will be reviewed with the children so everyone has a clear understanding of appropriate behavior for camp. We will strive to avoid issues that require discipline by keeping the children engaged in activities and redirecting them when necessary. Unacceptable behavior will initially be addressed by the Camp Counselor for the child s group and will be consistent with the frequency or severity of the unacceptable behavior. Possible consequences could include the loss of the privilege of participating in a specific activity, the loss of participating in a special event or being placed on probation for the remainder of the week. Recurring incidents will be handled by the Camp Director. Children are inquisitive, curious, noisy, messy and active and we expect those behaviors. The behaviors listed below could place the child or the children in the group in danger and are not allowed. 1. Refusing to remain with the assigned group during activities. 2. Repeated use of unacceptable language. 3. Continuing rude and discourteous behavior toward staff members and other campers. 4. Refusing to follow basic safety rules 5. Repeated intentional excursion into unauthorized areas. We encourage you to discuss this policy with your child before they begin coming to Summer Camp.
