Before camp, parents and caregivers should discuss behavioural expectations for camp. Camp offers an excellent venue for learning problem-solving skills, and subsequently, campers are involved in each step of the resolution process when problems occur. If behavioural problems arise, we follow this procedure:

• The camper works out a solution with their camp leader.

• If further intervention is required, a Programs Coordinator or Manager will be involved in the
problem-solving process.

• If behaviour problems persist, the camper’s parent or guardian may be contacted to ask for
guidance and be involved in the resolution process.

• If behaviour issues continue and negatively impact the camp experience of other campers
(including, but not limited to, violent conduct), a camper may be sent home.

• Violence is not tolerated and will result in the camper being sent home

• If the camper’s parent cancels the child’s registration 2 weeks prior to the camp start date, the full Camp Registration Fee will be reimbursed less a $20 Administration Fee.

• If the cancellation is made less than two weeks prior to the start date of camp, no refunds will be issued.

• Please note that the SAC Membership is non-refundable.
