Camp STIX Camper Expectations and Code of Conduct

Parents/Guardians: So that your child has a positive experience at camp, please take a few moments to read and discuss these camper expectations with your child. Thank you!

I will respect my cabin mates, counselors, medical volunteers, kitchen volunteers, and any other Camp STIX volunteers by using proper language and behavior.

I will respect myself, have a positive attitude, and follow dress code and safety rules.

I will be open to new ideas and experiences at Camp.

I will respect the environment, including the campgrounds, cabins and buildings both at camp and while away from camp on walks or hiking trips.

I will talk to a counselor or other staff member if I need help dealing with other campers, staff, or my experiences.

I will follow the directions of the Med Team, and not eat additional foods or give myself insulin without clearance from my Med Team.

I will not use an electronic device like a cell phone, iPod or electronic game during camp week.

I will not lie, cheat, steal or otherwise disrespect myself or others.

If my behavior is inappropriate or is hurting the camp experience for others, I may be referred to the Camp Director and / or the Medical Director for corrective actions. Bullying or other aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.

I will not exchange personal address, email address, phone number or other contact information with any Camp STIX volunteers (JC’s, Counselors, Med Team, DISH volunteers) without specific permission from my parents/guardians.

Outside of camp, if I am emailing, texting or posting information for other campers:

I will not speak hurtfully or falsely about others.

I will not send or post embarrassing or inappropriate pictures.

I will not discuss sexual topics, tobacco or drug abuse, or violence toward others.

I understand that failure to comply with all of the above expectations may result in being sent home early.
