What is considered a nut-free snack?

• A nut-free snack does not contain any type of tree nut or peanut

• A nut-free snack means the snack was made in a nut-free facility

• Your child will not be allowed to open/eat their snack if the snack contains nuts,

may contain nuts, or is made in a factory that also produces nut products.

• We will strictly enforce this policy, as we have campers with severe nut allergies

who can have a reaction even to inhaling airborne particles from nut products

• Check the label of the snack carefully before bringing it to camp!

Camper Expectations

5/25/2016 10

• Step One: Child is given a verbal warning and instructed to correct

his/her behavior.

• Step Two: Child is given a five minute “time-out” by removing

them from their current activity and having them sit calmly and

quietly until retrieved by their counselor. Camper is involved in

the discipline. What would an appropriate consequence be? How

do we fix this? How do we prevent this from happening again?

• Step Three: Counselors will fill out an incident report and contact

the Assistant Director or Director immediately. The child will be

required to talk to the director/assistant about the situation and the

parents/guardian will be called or told at pick-up. Parents are

expected to discuss the inappropriate behavior with their child and

to work with the Day Camp staff to stop the misbehaviors. Parents

will also sign the incident report. A total of 3 (three) behavioral

incident reports is grounds for dismissal from camp for the

remainder of the summer. As a reminder to parents, no refunds

are given if a child is dismissed from camp for behavioral

misconduct.
