CAMP RULES

 

  • No fighting or bullying of any kind, outside or inside! No stick fights, no hitting, and no teasing or bullying! If another camper is bothering you, bring it to the attention of a counselor. (Exception: Water gun fights are allowed OUTDOORS only on hot days, but no touching of other campers. The only thing you can fight with is water, and you must stop when your opponent says ‘stop.’)

 

  • No food in the studio areas (Media Studio and Tech Studio and Advanced Lab.) Food should be eaten outdoors (at the picnic tables) or in the lobby when weather isn’t good for outdoor eating. Water bottles (only!) are allowed in the studios.

 

  • Wash your hands AFTER meals and snacks! (This is to keep grease and crumbs and sticky residues off the equipment.) You should wash before eating too!

 

  • Never disconnect equipment or rewire anything! If you need a camera or microphone or light that’s attached to an animation system or the Green Screen Studio, ask a counselor for help. We have separate cameras and microphones and tripods for field use.

 

  • Campers may not install apps or programs on camp computers or tablets. If there’s something you’d like to install, ask a counselor to do it.

 

  • Counselors are in charge of activities and schedules and what each camper should be doing in each studio at various times of the day. Respect the counselors!

 

  • Try to finish projects you start! It’s impossible to do all the activities we have available, so find some things you enjoy and stick with them.

 

  • Stay on task in the Tech Studio. The day is divided into times for Robotics, CAD/3D Printing, Game Design, and Free Play. Please respect the schedule. If you wish to continue an activity at a different time, ask a counselor.

 

  • Do not play Roblox when you’re supposed to be developing Roblox games!

 

  • Do not take any equipment or supplies from drawers or closets or storage areas. Counselors are in charge of distributing equipment and supplies. Ask a counselor if you need something!

 

  • No wild play indoors! If you want to run, please do it outside on the lawn!

  • STAY HOME IF YOU FEEL SICK! Even before the pandemic this was common sense, but now it is urgent! We will try our best to offer campers make-up days in subsequent weeks. Also, if a camper is not coming in (for any reason) please call to let us know.

 

 

OUTDOOR PLAY

 

  • Do NOT pick up sticks and branches from the ground.

 

  • Only counselors may turn on the water sprinkler.

 

  • No tree climbing!

 

  • Stay outside during lunch and snack breaks where counselors can see you. Do not go back inside except to use the bathroom, or when weather turns bad and everyone has to go inside.

 

  • Do NOT walk or run across the parking lot! Walk or run only along the paths, or on the lawn.

 

  • Use the front door only. The side doors (loading dock and driveway) are for emergency use only (and occasional Media Studio production needs.)
