After-School Behavior Policy

Code of Conduct 

We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all our participants, family members and guests. To ensure the safety and comfort for all, we ask individuals to act appropriately while they are in our facility or participating in a First Camp program. This applies to staff, participants, and their parents. We expect children to behave in a mature and responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of others. 

Our code of conduct does not permit language or action that can hurt or frighten another person or that falls below a generally accepted standard of conduct. Specifically, this includes: 

• Angry or vulgar language including swearing, name calling and shouting. 

• Physical contact with another person in an angry or threatening way. 

• Any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual contact with another person. 

• Harassment or intimidation with words, gestures, body language or other menacing behavior. 

• Behavior which extends to or results in the theft or destruction of property. 

• Carrying or concealing weapons or devices that may be used as weapons. 

Please be responsible for your own personal conduct and safety. If someone’s behavior threatens your personal comfort or safety, please ask that person to refrain.  Staff are trained and expected to respond to any reported violation of our code of conduct. Please do not hesitate to notify a staff person if you need assistance. We want to help! 

First Camp Administration will investigate all reported incidents. Dismissal from a program may result from any violation of the code of conduct. No refunds will be given. 

Discipline Policies 

Our staff will work with children to help them resolve their own conflicts during the program.  Parents will be informed of any safety related concerns, willful harm infractions or any repeated rule infraction by their child. Children with repeated disciplinary incidents relating to safety will be suspended.  Children who continue to behave in unsafe or harmful ways may be expelled.   

Behavior Management Plan

If your child has been receiving assistance in behavior management during the school year, it is imperative that this information be shared with the site director. This will enable us to work more effectively and productively with your child.
