How does YSSC handle behavioral problems with campers?
YSSC’s program is designed for well-adjusted children who treat others with respect and value each child’s right to a fun, enriching experience at camp. Clear guidelines, positive reinforcement, positive role modeling and a cultivated sense of generosity and fair play are key components in our effort to maintain a safe and nurturing camp environment. We work hard so that every child will develop greater social skills and succeed at camp. Disrespect, mean or violent behavior, including teasing or harassment of any kind is not tolerated. If discipline problems arise, we handle each conflict on an individual basis. In most cases, a camper will participate in dialogue explaining the inappropriate behavior and receive relevant consequences. Continued misbehavior will result in a contract between the camper, parent, and Director. Broken behavior contracts result in the camper going home early from camp with no tuition reimbursement.
