Camps-On-Campus Policies
Programs are intended to be educational and fun. To ensure campers have a positive experience we have instituted the
following policies. * indicates required signature
Sign-In/Sign-Out Procedure
You must escort and sign your child in at his/her destination. At the end of the program, your child must be picked up and
signed out. Campers are only permitted to leave camp with a parent or individual identified by parents in a written request.
Minor students, ages 13 and up, can sign-in and sign-out unattended provided we have your required approval
signature. Your signature gives permission for your child to leave the program premises by his/her own means, with
arrangements made by you to meet at a designated location. All visitors to Brookdale Community College must abide
by all laws, policies and regulations in effect during the time of enrollment in classes and camp programs.
I give permission for my teenager, age 13 and up, to arrive and leave the program premises unattended:
______________________________________________________________________________________
Parent Signature
Camper Code of Conduct Agreement
Camper safety is our priority. Cursing, bullying, name-calling or behavior deemed unsafe by camp staff compromises the experience for everyone and will not be tolerated. Parents or guardians will be notified if campers exhibit these negative behaviors. If
immediate improvement in behavior is not evident, the camper will be dismissed from camp without refund. Cell phones/other
electronic devices must be turned off prior to camp start time.

Refund Policy
If a parent must cancel his/her child’s camp registration(s), our refund policy is as follows: 10 or more days prior to camp,
payment will be fully refunded less the $75 non-transferable deposit; 9 days or less prior to camp, we will hold ½ of the fee
and refund the balance; no refunds will be issued once a camp program begins. Appeals require documentation of emergency. The College reserves the right to cancel a camp in which the registration is less than the minimum required. If Brookdale
Community College cancels a camp, full refunds will be automatically granted. Refunds will be issued in the form of a check;
please allow 2-4 weeks for processing. There is a $15 handling fee for switching sessions after the original registration.
Publicity
I allow Brookdale to use video, photographs and materials made at camp in which my child may appear for use in future
marketing materials. Please check one: o Yes o No
I hereby certify that my child is in good physical health, has had a recent physical and may participate in all camp activities. I
will not hold the College or camp personnel responsible in the event of an accident or injury resulting from my child’s participation. If neither parent is available, I hereby authorize the Brookdale Camp and College staff to take emergency measures
deemed necessary I give permission for my child to be provided emergency treatment at a local hospital.
Campers must bring epi-pens and inhalers labeled with the child’s name. Campers must understand the proper use and
care of epi-pens and inhalers. If necessary, BCC Camp personnel and/or Emergency first responders will assist with the
administration of epi-pens and/or inhalers. My child uses an o epi-pen o inhaler
