  3. If a student’s behavior still does not meet expectations and is affecting the experience of other students, parents/guardians will be contacted and he/she will be referred to the Executive Director.

  4. If inappropriate behavior continues, the student may be dismissed from camp at the discretion of the Executive Director.

Students should speak with a teacher and/or staff member if they are uncomfortable in any situation.
