BEHAVIOR CONTRACT A high quality program can take place only in an orderly, mutually respectful, caring environment. Child guidance is a process whereby children take increasing responsibility for their own actions. It is a cooperative process in which all staff members, children and parents share the responsibility. At the South Shore YMCA, we take the happiness and safety of your children seriously and, therefore, work hard at creating a safe and fun camp environment. Along with our efforts, we need the campers to help us by following some simple rules. Below is our behavior agreement. Please read our behavior contract with your child and ensure they understand camps behavior policies. Thanks for helping us help your child have a great summer!

I will listen to the staff and follow directions.

I will respect other people’s belongings by not touching/using their stuff without permission.

I will respect camp property and help clean personal messes and assist in leaving areas better than I found it.

I will respect others’ personal space by keeping my hands and feet to myself.

I will act in a caring way and not hit, fight, bite, tease or harass or bully others.

I will use my indoor voice when speaking inside camp facilities.

I will use appropriate language, which does not include swear words or negative remarks (ie. “Shut Up”, “Stupid”, “Dumb”, etc.)

Before leaving the room, tent or program space, I will ask a staff member for permission.

I will respect others’ feelings by having a positive attitude when talking to them.

Not abiding by these rules may result in suspension and / or termination from the program. All incidents will be handled on a 3 incident system, except hitting/fighting.

Hitting/fighting will be an immediate 1-day suspension from the program. All other incidents will be handled as follows: 1st incident VERBAL WARNING

2nd incident WRITTEN WARNING / PARENT MEETING

3rd incident 1-DAY SUSPENSION

Camp management reserves the right to dismiss/disenroll a child from camp if the child’s behavior is disruptive to the camp program and/or compromises the safety of themselves, other campers, and/or staff. Children suspended / terminated from camp will not qualify for a refund.

I attest that all required information and documents are included with this summer camp registration packet. I agree to the payment policy (p.12) and understand that by not including all required information and / or not following the payment schedule will result in my child not being able to attend camp. In addition, I have reviewed and understand the Policies & Waivers (p.12), as well as the Behavior Contract (above).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What do the kids do during the day?

A. Traditional Day Camp groups rotate between a variety of activities over the course of a day such as swimming, arts & crafts, sports, new games, drama, teambuilding, and other group activities. We have a different theme in place every week, and most of the daily activities revolve around this theme. On Fridays, we try and do a lot of camp-wide special events that wrap up our week’s theme.

Sports and Specialty Camps have a specific area of focus each week. Led by specialized staff, campers spend half of the day working on learning new skills and concepts relevant to the specific camp.

During the other half of the day, campers take part in some of the Traditional Day Camp activities mentioned above.

Q. Will my children learn how to swim?

A. At the South Shore YMCA Summer Day Camps we run a ‘Go For Green’ modified instructional swim. Children will be evaluated at the beginning of each week and will be split into red, yellow and green groups, based on swimming ability. Lessons are led by certified swim instructors with assistance from counselors. Lessons will take place for the first half of each swim period. During the second half, children have the ability to either practice their newly learned skills or just enjoy the water. Please note that these lessons are not the same as standard lessons by the YMCA but modified to work effectively for camp.

Q. My child can’t swim!! Is that OK? A. Absolutely. There are always a group of campers who have never been swimming before and our staff is ready to help. In addition to bubbles, noodles and other flotation devices, camp staff will work with campers to help them gain comfort in the water and improve their swimming. In addition to our summer camp, the South Shore YMCA also offers instructional swimming lessons throughout the summer. You may enhance your child’s swimming ability by enrolling them in one of these classes outside of camp time.

In addition, at Welcome Night, families will be given the opportunity to “pre-check-in” for the first day of camp. If your camper’s paperwork and payments are up to date, you will be given a pass giving you the ability to skip the first day check-in line on June 25th.

Q. What should my child wear to camp?

A. The most important thing when getting ready in the morning is to make sure the camper is comfortable for the day’s weather. In addition, closed-toed shoes should be worn every day, as campers will be very active throughout the day. Another handy rule of thumb when getting ready for camp is “Don’t dress in your best, cause you may get a mess.”
