Camp Guidelines and Discipline Policy
Please share the following with your registered camper.

1. Children may not hurt themselves or others
2. They must stay with the Group
3. Stay on the trails (unless directed otherwise)
4. Respect all others as well as nature
5. No collecting of animals or plants
6. No foul language or threats (verbal or physical)
7. If needed a warning will be given first, followed by a Time‐out, and if 3 Time‐outs are given in one day
   the parent or guardian will be contacted immediately and that camper will be asked to leave. We will
   also do our best to inform you of any behavior difficulties at the end of each day.
   

Clothing
We will be actively exploring the outdoors and there is a definite possibility that your camper(s) will get
dirty.

1. Please make sure that your child is dressed in play clothes and closed toe shoes.
2. Sandals are notallowed as they offer little protection against sticks and other sharp object that may be on the trails.
3. We plan on going outside every day, even in the rain. Make sure your campers are dressed for the weather!
   You may pack extra clothing if you wish.
   

Drop‐off and Pick‐up Policy

1. Please escort your child(ren) into the classroom & sign them in and sign them out upon departure
2. Please do not drop off your child any earlier than 10 minutes prior to the beginning of each day’s
   session or pick them up any later than 10 minutes beyond the end of each day’s session.
3. Please call if your camper is unable to attend or if you are running late.
4. Please inform us if someone different will be picking up or dropping off your camper.
   

Weather Procedures
We all know the weather in Iowa is unpredictable. The WCCB/DPNC staff and volunteers follow
procedures to maintain the safety of your children. Precautions in place include the following:

1. A weather alert radio is on during camp operation. Staff will respond accordingly when alerts are
   announced. Staff also carry cell phone and/or radios while on the trails to be in contact with receptionist
   staff that monitors the weather radio.
2. If a warning is issued for our area, we will move the children to a place of safety within our building.
   The weather will be monitored until the severe weather has passed. Staff will be responsible for helping
   to calm and reassure the campers during these times.
3. At the first sound of thunder or first sighting of lightning, all children will be required to be indoors and
   stay there until the threat is gone.
