    Attendance Policy

    Youth will be allowed three (3) unexcused absences over the course of the camp. Once a youth participant has two absences, his/her guardian will be contacted to inform them of the absences. If the youth participant has one more absence after that (a total of three unexcused absences), his/her guardian will be informed that the camper is no longer to return to camp.

    This policy is being put into place to make sure that all youth participant are committed to the program. Given the limited amount of space in the camp, we want to make sure that all of the campers who enroll in camp really want to be there. Our concern is that we needlessly register children who have no intention of attending, and therefore deny others a chance to attend.

    Research

    In order to ensure funding of this program for future years, we are asking parents and guardians for permission for their children to participate in a research study. The research will consist of a survey at the beginning and end of the camp. The consent form is included in the registration packet.
