SUMMER CAMP

DISCIPLINE POLICY

At Ambassador Christian Academy Summer Camp, we seek to provide a safe and fun environment where all children are respected and have an equal opportunity for fun. While it is our hope that all will participate in Camp, we cannot risk the happiness or safety of the group.

In the event that discipline becomes necessary while a child is at camp, the following actions are standard and may be used in any combination while a child is on camp property or during a camp-sponsored field trip or activity: verbal warning, time out, exclusion from activity, written warning, incident report, early pick-up by parent, suspension and/or removal from camp.

Any form of fighting will not be tolerated: and in the event of such occurrence that produces even a minor injury to another child, the parents will be required to meet with the Camp Director for remediation. In the event of fist-fighting or other physical harm to another child, an incident report will be completed, signed by the parent and will remain on file in the camp office. Additionally, the child could receive either a written warning or suspension at the discretion of the Camp Director, without any reduction in weekly tuition or refunds.

Automatic suspension of one or more days, at the discretion of the Camp Director, will be given as a result of any of the following incidences, but not limited to:

• Repeated bulling or threatening another child or camp staff member
• Repeated use of foul language
• Stealing
• Vandalism or defacement of camp, church, school or personal property
• Possession of drugs/alcohol/cigarettes/lighters

In the event that drugs or weapons are found, the parent will be called immediately, and the incident will be reported to the Toms River Police Department.

Please note that the Camp Directors, at their sole discretion, have the right to deny any applicant future camp registration based on past disciplinary actions.

I, _________________________________________, have read, understand, and will comply with the Ambassador Christian Academy Summer Camp Discipline Policy. I have discussed this policy with my child, and WE understand that if he/she fails to comply, he/she may be removed from Camp without a refund of tuition and fees.
