Teen Code of Honor
We expect all teens to follow the behavior expectations outlined below.
BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS
1. I understand that everyone at the Teen Leadership Program needs to be treated with respect
and I need to show respect for others’ personal belongings, privacy, and feelings. Any inappropriate
touching between campers or counselors is not allowed. As well as using other’s personal belongings
without permission. I understand that I can be sent home if I violate any of these expectations.
2. I understand that it is against UHF rules to be involved with smoking, alcohol use, illegal
drugs, weapons (including pocket knives), vandalism, theft, or any other illegal behavior. I know and
understand that I could be sent home if I have brought any of these items to camp or use them;
or if I engage in ANY illegal behavior, including vandalism and theft.
4. I understand that it is against camp rules to leave the program facility unless I am on a
special, escorted and approved activity or for a medical emergency that requires transportation to an
outside medical facility. I know and understand I will be sent home if I leave facility premises
without permission.
5. I understand that I need to respect the facility and its equipment. I understand that my
parents and I will have to pay for any damage I intentionally cause.
6. I understand that I have to sleep in my assigned cabin each night. I understand it is against
camp rules to “sneak out” of my cabin after curfew and that I can be sent home for this behavior.
7. I understand that at any time if any staff member or another teen feels that I am a danger to
myself or anyone else, because of my behavior or something that I have said, I will be required to talk
to a member of the Camp Valor Committee. I understand that I can be sent home if the director
feels that it is necessary for my safety or the safety of others.
8. If I have any problems, I know and understand that I can go to my counselor or any of the
adult leaders at the Teen Leadership Program.
CONSEQUENCES
Depending on the severity of the situation, one or more of the following consequences will be taken:
I understand that my leader or a member of the Teen Leadership Committee will discuss the
behavior with me.
I may be not allowed to participate in a planned activity.
A member of the Teen Leadership Committee may call my parents and discuss the behavior with
them.
I understand that I can be sent home immediately and possibly not be allowed to participate in
future UHF activities, even if it is my first time not following any of the behavior expectations.
I understand that if I am sent home for any reason my parents will be responsible for coming to
pick me up at camp. This will be at my parent’s expense. They will not be reimbursed for travel
time, time taken off work, gas, etc.
My signature indicates I have read and understand the Behavior Expectations and agree to the
Consequences.
