Behavior & Participation Policy

1.Safety-Focused Guidance

To help us provide a safe and positive experience for every participant, we encourage families to share any information that may affect a child’s ability to participate safely or follow camp routines. While sharing is optional, it allows our staff to plan appropriate support and ensure a positive experience for all children.

2. Behavior Policy

We reserve the right to remove any kid for behavior that poses a risk to others, including but not limited to:

Physical aggression (hitting, biting, kicking, pushing, etc.)
Verbal threats, intimidation, or harassment
Repeated disruption that prevents program activities from continuing safely and respectfully

3. Warning Process

Except in cases of severe safety risk, a three-warning process will be followed: First, Second, Third.

4. Refund Clause

Dismissal due to non-disclosure of required information or for behavior violations is not eligible for a refund under any circumstances.

5. Potty Training Policy

Children must be fully potty trained and able to use the restroom independently. Accidents can disrupt the learning environment and other participants’ experiences, so we ask parents to ensure their child is fully trained before enrolling. Refunds may not be available if accidents occur.
