BRING TO CAMP
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS AGREEMENT
Dear Parents:
Here at NeKaMo Camp we strive to maintain an atmosphere of fun and friends. One way we do
this is by specific policies regarding camper behavior and program procedures. We are
dedicated to upholding these policies in order to ensure the safety of your child while at camp.
The following is a brief overview of our behavior policy. Please feel free to address any
questions or concerns you have with the division director or administrative staff.

Campers are expected to respect the feeling and rights of others. Campers will be held
accountable for how they treat others and how they speak to others.
Profanity is NOT acceptable at NeKaMo Camp.
Insubordination (including, but not limited to: refusal to follow directions, back-talking,
negative posturing, etc.) toward a staff member will NOT be tolerated.
If the camper’s behavior cannot be corrected through the camp’s behavior modification
program, the parent will be notified to take the camper home. NeKaMo’s behavior modification
policy is a five-step program in positive discipline. With a counselor, a camper works through
problem solving and conflict management – identifying the problem, suggesting solutions, and
choosing her own consequences where necessary. She is given four opportunities to correct
inappropriate behaviors, and on the fifth offense, she will be sent home. Parents will be
notified after the occurrence of a third offense and will be involved in the process from that
point.
The following offenses will result in immediate dismissal from camp with no second chances:
•
•
•
•
Hazing
Failure to live within the established physical boundaries of camp
Vandalism/Property damage (camp or personal) – parents will be responsible for the
replacement or repair of damaged property.
Use or possession of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. (Both parents and the proper authorities will be
notified.)
I have read and agree to the above policies for NeKaMo Camp. My child has also been made
aware of these policies. I understand that I will be held responsible for my child’s actions during
her stay at camp and consent to pick her up should the need arise. No reimbursement of camp
fees will be made. I realize that I will be made aware of a problem before the decision is made
to remove my child from camp (except for the offenses listed above.)
