Valuables

It is important to only send the essentials to camp with your child. All belongings should be clearly labeled. We cannot be responsible for those items or any other personal items such as toys, hand-held games, cd players, ipod, etc. 

The University of North Texas College of Education is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment for all summer camp participants. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, all campers are expected to follow the behavior guidelines outlined below. Our program are led by trained college student instructors who are dedicated to supporting student learning and well-being.

Expectations for Participant Behavior
All camp participants are expected to:

• Show Respect - Treat fellow participants, instructors, and counselors with kindness, respect, and courtesy at all times.
• Follow Instructions - Listen attentively and follow directions provided by camp instructors and counselors.
• Engage Appropriately - Participate in activities in a safe, constructive, and cooperative manner.
• Use Appropriate Language and Conduct - Refrain from using inappropriate language, gestures, or behavior that could be disruptive, harmful, or offensive to others.
• Respect Property and Facilities - Use all equipment, materials, and campus spaces responsibly and as directed.
• Maintain Personal Responsibility - Stay within designated areas, arrive on time, and remain with the group unless given permission by staff.

Attendance

• Regular attendance is encouraged but not required. Because each session is designed as an independent learning experience, students may miss a session and still fully participate in future sessions.

Personnel & Safety
All camp staff wear easily identifiable name tags.
Sessions are led by trained UNT student instructors.

Prohibited Behavior
The following behaviors are not permitted and may result in disciplinary action:

• Bullying, harassment, intimidation, or discrimination of any kind
• Physical aggression or threatening behavior
• Disruptive actions that interfere with camp activities or instruction, including usage of personal devices.
• Damage to university property or the property of others
• Possession of prohibited items or engaging in unsafe activities
• Refusal to comply with instructions from camp staff

Disciplinary Process
Our goal is to support positive behavior while maintaining a safe environment. The following steps may be taken if a participant does not meet behavioral expectations:

1. Verbal Warning – Participant is reminded of expectations and given an opportunity to correct behavior.
2. Parent/Guardian Notification – If behavior continues, parents/guardians may be contacted to discuss concerns.
3. Temporary Removal from Activity – Participant may be removed from a specific activity or group setting.
4. Dismissal from Program – In cases of serious or repeated misconduct, the participant may be dismissed from the camp without a refund.

Acknowledgment
By enrolling in the UNT College of Education SERC Lab Summer Camp, participants and their parents/guardians acknowledge and agree to abide by this behavior policy.
