We encourage all camp students to follow the Chinmaya Safety Pact:

1. If someone makes you uncomfortable with their words or touch, tell a trusted adult.
2. Beware of social media and bullies. Talk to a trusted adult if anything on social media or online is upsetting.

When a Camp student does not follow the behavior guidelines listed above, the Summer Camp Administrators and Lead Sevaks will take the following action/steps:

1. Redirecting behavior (changing the student’s focus)
2. Verbal redirecting behavior (“please stop…” or “please do….”)
3. Remove the student from the activity.

Each time a student is required to be removed from an activity, a behavior incident report may be generated. A copy will be provided to the parent. If a third behavior incident report is generated, a lead sevak will call the parents to discuss the matter. If the behavior continues after the parent phone call, the student will be asked to not to log in to camp for a day. If the behavior continues, the student may be dismissed from the camp. Camp fees are non-refundable if a student is dismissed from camp for disciplinary reasons.

1. Campers may use privately owned electronic devices (tablets or laptops) for activities as directed by camp staff and as set forth in this policy.
2. Campers are expected to join virtual spaces with cameras on, microphones muted (unless otherwise directed by teachers or sevaks), and signed in with full name for the duration of the meeting.
3. Campers are expected to practice appropriate camp student behavior in online settings, including on camera and in chatrooms.
