TCC Camp Policies
Behavior
By registering for camp, caregivers acknowledge that their child must follow camp rules and directions from the camp staff while at The Creature Conservancy. At the occurrence of a disciplinary problem, campers are encouraged to choose to take a “break”, and reflect on their actions with the support of staff members. However, actions that are severe or put the camper or others in danger may result in immediate dismissal from the program.
A disciplinary problem is defined as an action or behavior that hinders the flow of the program by requiring constant one-to-one staff attention; inflicting physical, verbal, or emotional harm on other campers or camp staff; or is unable to conform to the rules and guidelines of the program.
Upon a disciplinary problem, a child may be removed from their camp for the day or the remainder of the camp program for their safety and the safety of other program participants, TCC staff, and the resident animals. In this case, the parent or emergency contacts will be notified to pick up the child immediately. No refunds will be given if your child is removed from the program due to a disciplinary problem.
Weather
In the case of inclement weather, lead camp staff will decide on what action to take. At the first sight of lightning, all groups will be instructed to take cover in the nearest shelter. The camp director will provide instructions to all staff via radio or cell phone as conditions warrant.
Late Drop Off/Early Pickup
If you arrive late, please locate any staff member to notify the camp director. A camp staff member will meet with you to sign your camper in, before escorting them to their designated camp group.
If your child has a conflict and is in need of an early pickup during camp, please notify the camp director via email at education@thecreatureconservancy.org and share with camp staff at check-in. Early pickup times must be prior to 3:30 p.m. Upon arrival, please locate any staff member to notify the camp director. The adult picking up early must be listed as an authorized pickup person and present a photo ID to sign out your camper.
Your camper must be in 3rd or 4th grade in order to register for this camp.With any questions, please email us at contact@thecreatureconservancy.org.
