SCREEN POLICY

Teen & Tween Night is screen-free from 5:00–8:00 PM.

From 8:00–9:00 PM, students ages may use phones collaboratively to: share videos or artwork, exchange contact information, participate in other group activities involving screens.

Students must show teachers what they are using their phones for. All content and phone use must be appropriate for a camp setting. Phones must be used collaboratively—students may not sit alone and scroll during the event.

Exception: Students may use their phones independently to listen to music if they need a quiet break. This will be assessed on an individual basis and communicated with families. Students may use their phones to communicate with family members as needed.

Community Guidelines

1. Respect Each Other

Use kind words and actions. Celebrate differences. No bullying, teasing, harassment, or exclusion.

2. Respect the Space

Treat our building, furniture, supplies, and artwork with care. Clean up after yourself. No running inside.

3. Listen & Speak Up

Follow staff directions, especially when it comes to safety. If something feels unsafe or uncomfortable, tell a teacher.

4. Have Fun & Be Yourself

Be creative, goofy, curious, and yourself! Support others and help make space for everyone.

5. No Physical contact

We do not allow play fighting, physical contact or inappropriate touching of any manner.

Accountability & Reflection

When community guidelines aren't followed, staff will use a progressive approach:

  • First: Staff will give a reminder.

  • Second: Staff may ask the student to take a short break.

  • Third: If the behavior continues, staff will contact a parent/guardian and the student may be asked to leave for the evening.
