Behaviour Guidelines
One Kids Place recognizes its responsibility to support campers and appropriately address disruptive behaviour. These guidelines apply to all children and youth participating in recreation programs, including summer camps.
- Staff use positive, supportive, consistent, and proactive approaches that focus on encouragement and logical consequences.
- Disruptive behaviour is addressed fairly and consistently using progressive behaviour management strategies.
- We ask families to share any relevant family or behavioural concerns so staff can best support each participant. While every effort will be made to accommodate individual needs, One Kids Place reserves the right to withdraw a participant if their behaviour poses a risk to their own safety, or the safety of other participants, staff, or property.
- Parents and guardians will be kept informed and communication will be provided should any situation arise.
