I grant Antioch College permission to use photographs and/or videos of my child taken during the Summer Day Camp for promotional purposes, including but not limited to, brochures, websites, and social media. I understand that these images may be used publicly and agree to waive any right to compensation or ownership. I understand that in the event of an emergency, every attempt will be made to contact me, but if I cannot be reached, I give permission to the camp staff to secure proper medical treatment for my child.

Camper Drop off and Pick-up Policies:

Your camper will only be released to the people listed on the Authorized Pick-Up section of this form. Campers will not be released to non-adults. Parents may be charged a fee of $10.00 up to every ½ hour a camper arrives early or departs late from camp based on the above times.

Camp Policies and Code of Conduct:
Self-management skills and positive social interactions among campers and adults are encouraged and maximize everyone’s enjoyment of camp. Programs use positive guidance methods including reminders, distraction, logical consequences and redirection. Camper safety is the most important concern of the programs; therefore, campers whose behavior is dangerous or repeatedly disruptive must be immediately picked up from the program by someone designated through the departure and release procedures. Repeatedly disruptive or dangerous behavior will be discussed with the camper’s parent and will result in loss of privileges or activities, suspension, or termination from the program.

As in any activity, inappropriate behavior of a few campers can have a dramatic impact on the experience of the entire group. Therefore, the following conduct policies apply directly to each individual camper and will be used in determining the camper’s eligibility to continue as a participant in the camp program. Infractions will be documented. Please make certain that both you and your child are completely familiar with these conduct policies.

A camper may be suspended or released from camp, without a refund, for the following behavior while participating in the program:
• Bullying either verbally, physically or cyber.
• Leaving the camp activity area without permission or going into unauthorized areas.
• Using foul or offensive language or inappropriate behavior
• Fighting, being rude or discourteous to staff and other campers.
• Defacing property, facilities, or any equipment. Stealing or defacing another camper’s property.
• Bringing or using any illegal substances and/or weapons.
• Refusing to follow basic rules of safety.

Disciplinary Procedure:
• 1st Incident: Re-direction / Time-Out / Verbal Warning / Staff Counseling (depending on severity of incident)
• 2nd Incident: Parent notified by phone, in person at Sign-Out, and / or in writing.
• 3rd Incident: Disciplinary write-up
• Final Incident: The action taken at this point is at the discretion of the Day Camp Director after appropriate consultation with the parent. The range of discipline could be a one-day suspension to removal from the program.
• Termination: Antioch College reserves the right to terminate (without refund) Day Camp Participants, families and/or parents / guardians from the program as a result of actions or behaviors that are not deemed in the best interest of the organization based on rules, policies and situations.

HEALTH / SAFETY GUIDELINES, ILLNESS AND EXCLUSION AND MEDICATION POLICY
Day Camp Staff may not administer medications prescription or otherwise. Campers with colds or illness will not be admitted. Please do not put us in the position of refusing your child. Campers with head lice will not be allowed to attend camp. Campers who are ill will be asked to leave the program and be treated. If a camper is sent home a second time the camper will not be readmitted back to our program until we have written confirmation from a doctor, nurse, or nurse practitioner that your child has been treated and no longer is ill. Please let us know immediately if your child has a communicable illness or infection. This will allow us to notify the parents of children attending our program. Campers with communicable conditions may not return to camp without a note from their physician. Anyone working with children is required by law to report any suspected child abuse. This includes physical, sexual, emotional, mental and neglect. Parents will be contacted immediately when their child displays signs of illness. It is better to be overcautious than to risk exposing the rest of the children and staff. No refunds will be given for illness absences.

CHILD INJURY If a child is injured, an Accident Report will be completed the same day with a copy given to the parent and the original kept on file by the Day Camp Director.

Minor Injuries: Injuries that require no more than washing, Band-Aid and ice pack. Major Injuries: Injuries that require more than washing, Band-Aid and ice pack. The staff after evaluating the situation will take whatever steps are judged necessary to obtain the appropriate medical attention. This may include the following: contacting the parent or authorized person to pick up the child or transport the child to the nearest hospital via ambulance. If 911 is called and the child is sent to the hospital, the Day Camp Director will notify the parents immediately. If an emergency is such that the child is transported to the hospital, a Y Day Camp Staff Member will accompany the child. Parents will be notified which hospital the child is being transported to. Antioch College does not provide Accident Insurance for your child. This will be the responsibility of the parent.

REFUNDS:
Refunds will not be issued. Antioch College reserves the the right to cancel the camp and would issue refunds in this circumstance.
