Camper Code of conduct

We believe that every person has the right to feel safe, both physically and emotionally, at Camp Summit. When the behavior issues arise and/or challenges present themselves, we resolve them on an individual basis.

As part of our Conditions of Enrolment package (completed at the time of registration), families are asked to review and sign our ‘Camper Code of Conduct’ agreement. Families are asked to review this agreement with their campers so they are aware of our camper code of conduct and the sequencing of potential consequences of their actions. Campers are also made aware of the camp rules during our community meeting on the first day and they are expected to adhere to them throughout their stay. Similarly, as a group each cabin will complete a ‘full value contract’ on their first day of camp.

The Camp Director reserves the right to withdraw any camper without warning who, in their opinion, compromises the physical or emotional safety of any person at camp, who requires consistent 1:1 care to manage behaviour, or who is an immediate hazard to the safety of themselves or others. Camp Summit will also remove a camper who is negatively affecting the experience of another camper or group of campers.

Lived Gender + Cabin Arrangments

At Camp Summit, we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for our camp community. Campers are registered and organized in cabins based on their registered program, grade and lived gender. Please register your camper as their preferred gender, as this will guide their placement in either a male or female cabin.

We are available to discuss any questions you may have for your families particular situation at any time.  As with any sensitive personal information, we consider the gender identity of our campers and staff to be private unless the individual wishes to share it.

Friend Requests

We recognized that many campers attend Camp with a friend they hope to share a cabin with. Campers are registered and organized in cabins based on their registered program, grade and lived gender. Cabin group sizes are between 8-9 campers per cabin.

Camp Summit is committed to doing the best we can to accommodate such friend requests, however, there are a few parameters which must be met:

  • Campers must be within 16 months in age.
  • Requests must be mutual (i.e. the request must be made by both families involved on their final forms).
  • Campers must be registered for the same program and grade section of camp (Junior – Intermediate – Senior)
  • We can only accommodate 2 requests per camper.

If your child is attending with a close friend, please take the time to speak with them about making new friends and living co-operatively with their cabin group. Part of the value of camp is making new friends and respecting all members of our camp community!

In the rare case that a request is made for two campers not to be together, it is the responsibility of both families to ensure each other are aware and involved. We will not get involved with such dynamics.
