Kids Rock Behavior Plan Although Kids Rock is a fantastic option for parents looking for a positive experience for their children all summer long, our program is also designed to give a unique camp experience each week. Although our counselor to camper ratio is 15 to 1 or lower, we do not have the capability to provide an aide for any camper due to behavior or health concerns. We provide highly structured activities with very limited free time. This is different from a traditional day care setting, and may not be a fit for every camper. We have two basic expectations for all campers: 1. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Examples of not meeting this expectation: Arguing with campers or counselors, name calling, teasing, disrupting camp activities, damaging school property, talking while counselors are talking, fighting, bullying, threatening others, stealing, etc. 2. Participate and always have a good attitude. Examples of not meeting this expectation: Poor sportsmanship, not following activity directions, playing fair during games and free time, etc. Daily Behavior Management System: Minor infractions such as general camp disruptions will be handled using a daily stoplight system with the following consequences: First offense: Verbal warning Second offense: Removal from activity for 10 minutes Third offense: Removal from an entire camp activity, and written violation slip will be filled out Fourth offense: Camper will be sent home for the day, and a written violation slip will be filled out Written Violation Slips: Violation slips are a means of documenting camp behavior infractions. A written violation slip can be given for repeated basic infractions, or for more serious offenses such as bullying, swearing, stealing, threats to a camper or counselor, physical harm to another child or staff member, etc. 1 Violation Slip: Removal from an entire camp activity 2 Violation Slips: Removal from an entire camp activity 3 Violation Slips: One day suspension out of the program 4 Violation Slips: Dismissal from the program *Kids Rock Summer Camp reserves the right to dismiss students from the program for severe infractions without going through all of the steps mentioned above.

The Kids Rock referral program is a way for you to save money on your registration cost, and a way for Kids Rock to spread the word about the exciting programming happening at Kids Rock this summer. How much money can I save? For each camper that comes to Kids Rock because they heard about it through your family, you will receive $20 off your registration cost. If you have already paid, Kids Rock will reimburse you for the amount owed. If you refer 5 different campers, you would receive a check for $100. How does Kids Rock keep track of the referrals? On each registration form, there is a spot that asks, how did you hear about Kids Rock? For each camper that writes your family’s name in that blank, you will receive $20 off your registration cost. Telling your friends about the fabulous programming this summer is the highest form of compliment that we can receive. This referral program will run all summer long as long as we still have spots available. Thank you for helping us spread the word!
