Cancellation Requests for All ESTEAM Learning Labs Programs

I understand that participation in ESTEAM Academy, ESTEAM Learning Labs activities involves the risk of personal injury, including death, due to the physical, mental, and emotional challenges in the activities offered. Information about those activities may be obtained from the venue, activity coordinators, or your local director. 

I also understand that participation in any activities is entirely voluntary and requires participants to follow instructions and abide by all applicable rules and the standards of conduct. 

Thus, all participants must understand and follow the camp guidelines and rules. These guidelines and expectations are in place to ensure the safety
of your child and staff.

1. Listen to staff.
2. Respect Day Camp staff and other camp participants.
3. Respect camp property and facility property.
4. Keep hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.
5. Participate in camp activities.
6. Use an inside voice when indoors.
7. Respect the bus and rules of the bus.
8. Follow staff instructions on field trip days.
9. Clean up after yourself.
10. Be positive and have fun!

Should a participant choose not to follow any of these rules, these are the guidelines that the staff
will follow to handle the situation:

Step 1: Verbal Warning.
Step 2: Reset (Time time away from group)
Step 3: Email to Parent.
Step 4: Removal from program

In the event that a Camp participant engages in behavior which poses a threat of bodily harm to himself, others, or facility property, an immediate meeting with the parent(s), or guardian may be called. If such behavior warrants it, an immediate removal from the program will happen.

Situations that will result in an automatic Behavior Warning report are: stealing, use of profanity, bulling, excessive violence (hitting, kicking, biting, etc.) and property damage.

Please review these rules with your child. The staff will review these rules with your child at the beginning of camp. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, and we hope to have a great summer!
