How are behavioral and discipline problems handled?
This is where the director’s philosophy comes through loud and clear. Positive reinforcement, assertive role modeling and a sense of fair play are key components of camp counseling and leadership. Rules are necessary in any organization; all of camp is made aware of the rules each and every week. The disciplinary approach taken is reasonable and well-communicated. If penalties are involved for violations, they are applied quickly, fairly, calmly and without undue criticism to campers. Typically, a ‘time out’ for the camper is the appropriate action taken for more serious altercations a talk with the director or a call home might be what needs to happen.
