• Respecting Peers and staff / Respect of Property / Stay with your Group
• Must leave Personal Belongings (technology devices except cell phones for emergency) at Home
If my teen’s (participant) behavior seriously violates the safety of any participant or staff, I understand that he/she may be excluded from the program. In these circumstances, I agree that a parent or authorized adult will pick up my child within 30-45 minutes of notification. In such cases refunds will not be provided.
• Absolutely no use of profanity, gossiping or bullying will be tolerated.
• Dress Code: Program T-Shirts must be worn on all outdoor activities and trips, and during summer program. Inappropriate dressing is unacceptable (e.g., high shorts and skirts high above the knees (participant should be able to bend over without bottom/buttocks showing), No low cut tops that exposes a lot of cleavage and no belly shirts that exposes the stomach. No open toe or sandals during mountain climbing/hiking activities or in pool. Participants must wear program T-Shirts over bathing suits.
Discipline
1. Should inappropriate behavior occur more than once, the concern will be discussed with the participants and parents, and the participant will be permanently dismissed from the program. (Refunds will not be given.)
We use a consistent, positive approach including redirection, diversion and separation, always promoting cohesion, respect and self-discipline. Parents will be notified if there is a consistent behavior problem.
