Camp Rules:

Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, and educational week for all campers. We ask that members follow 5 simple rules:

1. We treat all campers and camp leaders with respect. We speak kindly to each other. (No name-calling, swearing, or screaming).

2. We use our listening ears and follow directions.

3. We keep our hands, feet, and mouth to ourselves. (No hitting, kicking, biting, etc.)

4. We stay together and follow safety guidelines.

5. We have fun and explore STEAM!

*Please note that we do utilize a time-out policy for not following camp rules. Any child who receives 2 or more time-outs will be sent home.
