Age Guidelines:

The Youth Summer Series proudly welcomes children aged 5 to 13 years, adhering strictly to this age specification to ensure a tailored and age-appropriate experience for all participants. Upon registration, children will be thoughtfully placed into distinct groups based on their age range, facilitating an environment that promotes optimal learning, social interaction, and personal development. Our carefully structured groupings include: the "Minis" for ages 5-6, offering a nurturing introduction to camp activities; the "Explorers" for ages 7-8, designed to ignite curiosity and adventure; the "Juniors" for ages 9-10, focusing on fostering independence and teamwork; and the "Seniors" for ages 11-13, aimed at challenging and expanding their skills and interests. This deliberate organization ensures that each child receives the most enriching and enjoyable summer camp experience possible.

Behavior Management/

Discipline Policy:

Youth summer Series will create a fun and safe environment for participants in the program. Praise and positive reinforcement are used as effective methods of behavior management. Kids who do not respond to these methods or who are destructive to others or to property will be dealt with in a professional, positive, and timely manner to correct the behavior. The following procedures will be followed for behavior management. All incident reports will be discussed privately with parents/guardians and a copy of each report will be kept on file at our training facility.

1. In the event a child’s behavior is a repeated behavior and cannot be corrected by our staff with a verbal warning or other form of behavior modification, a first incident report will be written to document and correct behavior. A copy of the report will be given to the parent/guardian the same day as the incident.

2. A second incident report will be written if the behavior is repeated by or new behavior problems occur with the same child. This report will follow the same process as the first, but a one or two- day suspension could accompany this report, and no refund will be provided for suspended days. A copy of the report will be given to the parent/guardian the same day as the second incident.

3. A third incident report will be completed using the same process as the first two. Our staff will write this report. Staff will provide this report to the parent/guardian. Incident reports will be discussed privately with a parent/guardian by a youth staff Director. Dismissal from a program can occur at this time.

 

NOTE: Immediate dismissal from the program can occur at any time given severe circumstances. Refunds for missed days due to a discipline dismissal will not be granted.

​

Nutrition/Snacks:

We kindly request that children bring their daily lunch/snack and a beverage in a non-glass container. For safety and environmental considerations, we recommend packing snacks in paper, plastic, or reusable bags, clearly marked with the child's name. To ensure the well-being of all campers and maintain cleanliness, beverages should be clear or light-colored. We ask parents to refrain from including gum or candy in their child's lunch. Additionally, a concession stand will be available during program hours, offering a selection of snacks and beverages for purchase. Please note that we will also host special Pizza Days periodically throughout the session.
