If you are dropping off a cub and not staying at camp, he should go to his den area if he has pre-registered on swim test day. Dens will be lined up, labeled by number, along the main road into camp.
Parents must remain with cubs who have not pre-registered to get them registered and have their medical information verified. Cubs that have not swim tested prior to camp will test during their regular waterfront time on Monday.
GATORBITES SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED OFF IN CARPOOL LINE; GATORBITES SHOULD ONLY BE AT CAMP WITH A PARENT OR GUARDIAN VOLUNTEER WHO IS WORKING AT CAMP THAT DAY.
Car Line cars line up down the access road to the camp and move through the horseshoe in front of Headquarters. Tell the first adult volunteer in the carpool line who you are picking up.
There are three carpool stations; “1” is the closest to the carpool exit, “2” is in the middle and “3” is closest the carpool entrance. The carpool volunteer will call your child’s or children’s names and ask that they go to station 1, 2 or 3. Watch for your child at that station.
ALL DRIVERS: Watch out for kids and adults at the end of the day. We are trying to dismiss over 200 boys, 50 Gatorbites, and 125 volunteers every day. Please drive carefully!!
Discipline is meant as a corrective, not punitive measure. Corporal punishment has no place in our program and will not be tolerated. Abuse of staff (including willful refusal to obey) will also not be tolerated and campers who will not follow instructions will be sent home and may be barred from attendance for the remainder of camp.
Our disciplinary system has three levels:
1. Den Leader
2. Camp Director
3. District Executive
Most difficulties will be handled at the den level. The principles to follow
in discipline are:
• Be fair
• Be consistent
• Treat each boy as an individual
• Set limits, explain them, and stick to them
• Take action quickly
If a boy refuses to accept your rules, refer him to the Camp Director. The Camp Director will discuss the situation with the boy and offer him the opportunity to decide whether he is willing to accept your rules -- this opportunity may last for an extended period.
If the boy continues to refuse to accept Camp and Den rules, his parents may be asked to come and get him.
If, after consulting with his parents, the Camp Director and the District Executive believe it is in the best interest of the boy and the Camp, the parents will be requested to keep their son at home for the remainder of the Camp.
All funds are handled through the Istrouma Area Council, not the Bogue Tuchenna District Day camp.
The Council refund policy is:
