Illness Policy
Children should not be brought to camp with illnesses that are contagious
or with fevers, diarrhea, vomiting, or unidentifiable rashes. Campers may
not return to the program until they are fever and/or diarrhea free for 24
hours. Children who are not participating normally (who show extreme
lethargy or fatigue) will be considered ill and sent home.
Camper Code of Conduct
The Bedford Park District expects summer campers to exhibit
appropriate behavior at all times. We have developed guidelines
to ensure that our camp is safe and enjoyable for all. The staff
may develop additional rules as necessary.
All campers must:
- Show respect to staff, volunteers, and fellow participants
- Show respect for equipment, supplies, & facilities
- Take part cooperatively and positively while following the rules established for camp
Discipline
The Bedford Park District uses a firm, positive, and progressive
approach to discipline. The purpose of discipline is to help
children develop self-control and take responsibility for their
actions. Each situation is evaluated based on individual
circumstances and Camper Conduct Reports will be used to
document inappropriate behavior. Parents will be notified when a
Camper Conduct Report is made. The Bedford Park District
reserves the right to dismiss any camper whose behavior
endangers his/her own safety or negatively impacts others.
The safety and enjoyment of all campers is our primary concern.
