Camper Safety

Dorm Supervisors

The supervisors will make sure campers are comfortable and supervised. However, counselors cannot monitor campers all night therefore campers are to abide by curfew.

Rules For Safety
Camp rules are posted and handed out at registration. We strictly adhere to our rules for good reason. It helps insure the safety of your son and his overall positive camp experience.

If disciplinary action is required, only Coach Fox will be in charge of action. Disciplinary measures could range from giving an apology, field maintenance or running the stadium steps. Campers may be expelled for breaking major rules such as being caught with drugs or alcohol, leaving camp without permission, or causing bodily harm to himself or other campers. In this event, the parents are called to pick up their son immediately and there is no refund.
