EXPECTATIONS FOR CAMPERS
Dr. Nagel
3 R’S OF CAMPER EXPECTATIONS
• Respectful
• To instructors and student assistants
• To other campers
• Responsible
• For equipment and materials
• For your behavior and language
• Reflective
• Think before asking or telling
• Consider input of others
SPECIFICALLY …
• Respect the property and feelings of fellow summer camp students,
teachers and student assistants as well as all others not directly
associated with summer camp.
• Always act in a manner that will promote a classmate’s opportunity to
learn.
• Have a positive attitude about learning and involvement at summer
camp.
• Politely communicate any concerns directly to summer camp teachers
or student assistants.
• No “horseplay” of any kind will be tolerated. Students are representatives
of Georgia Gwinnett during their involvement with the summer camp
programs.
• No weapons of any kind are permitted on the Georgia Gwinnett
campus. This includes guns, knives, switchblades, pocketknives, and any
other instruments that could be used as weapons. Any student who
brings a weapon to summer camp will be dismissed from the program
immediately.
• A student who violates any of these rules will be immediately dismissed
from the summer program.
VALUABLES POLICY
• Students should not bring any valuables (including
electronic equipment, video games, or toys/sports
equipment) to camp with them. We cannot
guarantee the security of valuables, and we would
not want to see anyone’s summer camp
experience ruined by the loss of some special
item(s). For similar reasons students should not bring
money to camp with them.
