Last updated: February 2019
- Recognize I am a part of the Camp Northland community. I will respect the environment, peers, staff and Jewish practices and customs that are part of the program.
- Treat people the way I would like to be treated. I will be inclusive and kind to others.
- Cooperate with camp staff and follow their instructions. This includes rules and regulations put forth by general and specialty counselling staff.
- Help keep my cabin and the surrounding environment clean and put all litter in the trash cans.
- Have good hygiene by having regular showers, brushing my teeth and changing my bedding and clothes regularly.
- Stay with my counselors, unless I have special permission not to be with them.
- Talk to someone if I feel unsafe.
- Have lots of FUN, a positive attitude, and always try to have a GREAT time.
- Recognize the importance of ‘relational responsibility’ and ensure to always positively and intentionally manage my relational responsibility in a way that helps and supports creating a positive experience for those around me. I will therefore be aware of and manage my attitude, body language, tones, expression, etc in a way that makes others feel welcomed rather than excluded, and makes others feel positively encouraged rather than being negatively impacted.
AS A CAMPER I WILL NOT…
- Be mean, bully, exclude or put down other campers or staff on or off camp property. I will NEVER hit, threaten, intimidate, inappropriately touch, or even gently touch another camper that has not provided explicit consent for me to do so.
- Violate the camp’s zero tolerance policy around drugs (including marijuana), alcohol, smoking, vaping or any prohibited act or substance as defined by both law and camp regulations.
- Deliberately hurt anybody’s feelings. Including pulling pranks on others which could cause someone to feel offended or unsafe or that might result in retaliatory action which could lead to injury or property damage.
- Use foul, inappropriate, or abusive language (this includes language of a sexually explicit nature).
- Behave in a way at camp, in the city, at school, through social media or otherwise, that is abusive, harassing, inappropriate or that goes against the spirit of this Agreement with respect to other campers, staff, or members of our community.
I understand that if I am having trouble following this code of conduct, the following could happen:
- I may have a meeting with my counsellor, section director or one of the camp Assistant Directors or the Camp Director.
- A staff member might call my parents to discuss my behaviour.
- I may be given, or be asked to carry out, a suitable consequence to be decided by camp staff. (Examples of consequences include but are not limited to: writing an apology letter, missing activities, losing privileges, having your own bunk (cabin) or bunk mates moved, being sent home from camp early at your parent/guardian(s) expense and responsibility, not being allowed to attend or return to camp etc.)
- If my behavior is hurtful to myself, others or camp property, I will likely be sent home that same day or as soon as possible thereafter at the parent/guardian(s) full expense and responsibility.
Furthermore…
- I explicitly understand that there is often no ‘hard evidence’ in matters relating to relational responsibility, bullying or similar areas of conduct. Nonetheless, I trust and accept the camp to make determinations on these matters and accept the judgment of the camp and any related consequences included, but not limited to, dismissal from camp.
- There are no entitlements to refunds of any kind if a camper is sent home for behavioral reasons (all of the above).
As a parent and/or guardian, I am fully committed to this Code of Conduct and agree to its content. In addition, I will always treat the camp and the staff with respect regardless of circumstances or challenges that may arise. If I fail to meet this expectation, it will be deemed to reflect a failure to trust the camp and its staff. Therefore, I understand that my child(ren) may be sent home from camp and/or not be accepted back to camp as the case may be. I will also disclose any and all information as requested and implied in the medical form including medical, psychological and socio-emotional issues or concerns past or present. I also understand that comments or complaints are to be directed to the camp’s professional staff.
By applying to register, the camper(s) and family agree to abide by the Camper Code of Conduct. If you have any questions about our Camper Code of Conduct, please contact the Camp Director at (905) 881-0018 or by email at simon@campnbb.com.

Allergies and diet requirements
Camp Northland cannot create or warrant an allergy free environment. We make all reasonable efforts to accommodate all known allergies but cannot guarantee that there will not be exposure to allergens or cross contamination. eg. Our kitchen uses gluten products like flour and therefore cannot actually be gluten free (it is in the air and on surfaces etc). Therefore, at a practical level, in this example, cross contamination is a guarantee. We are allergy aware and not allergy free. Nonetheless, we will do what we can to reasonably accommodate camper needs and special diets.
IMPORTANT RE: NUTS AND ANAPHYLAXIS/ALLERGIES:
CAMP NORTHLAND IS A ‘NUT-AWARE’ CAMP AND NOT ‘NUT FREE’
Camp Northland has always attempted to order foods that are “peanut aware”. However, we cannot attempt to eliminate peanuts or tree nuts (“nuts”) entirely from camp i.e. the camp cannot be ‘nut free’. After research and consultation–speaking with campers, families, staff, caterers, other camp directors and our Camp Association–we believe that our camp community benefits from being able to include campers with nut allergies in an anxiety-reduced environment rather than attempting to eliminate peanuts or tree nuts entirely from camp.
In an effort to heighten this awareness:
If your child has a nut allergy, please educate them to be vigilant in understanding these realities of the camp environment and to always check ingredients before eating a product not known to be safe for them and their particular allergy.
If you as a parent or guardian are sending food with your child on any camp trip, function, bus ride, event, or otherwise it must be kosher and we expect it to be ‘nut free’. Products that are labeled as “safe to share” or ‘Peanut and Tree Nut free’ should be preferred over those that use language like “may contain traces of nuts.” We recognize that finding foods that are completely “nut free”, especially ‘nut free’ and kosher, can be difficult; however your added sensitivity when doing camp shopping is greatly appreciated.

In an effort to heighten this awareness:
- Our dining hall and kitchen is a ‘nut-aware’ space. Please note that the camp is not and cannot be ‘nut free’. Foods served by our dining hall will not contain any nut products in the ingredients, although some items do use phrases like “may contain nuts, peanuts or tree nuts ” or “cooked in a facility that also manufactures nuts, peanuts or tree nuts”, or some variation of the above phrases.
- We ensure that items most commonly exposed to “cross contamination” in the manufacturing process (i.e. chocolate bars, ice cream, granola bars, etc.) are labeled “nut free” but please note that different manufacturers may treat language around nuts, peanuts and/or tree nuts differently. Campers with allergies should always check ingredients.
- Peanut butter will not be available at camp.
- No outside foods are permitted in the dining hall.
If your child has a nut allergy, please educate them to be vigilant in understanding these realities of the camp environment and to always check ingredients before eating a product not known to be safe for them and their particular allergy.

Immunization Policy
Camper and Staff Immunization Policy
Current for Summer 2020
Background
Vaccines have saved the lives of more children than any other medical intervention in the past 50 years. The vaccination of all members of the camp community ranks as a key component in maintaining a safe environment and in decreasing the risk of transmission of contagious illness. The determination of mandatory immunization requirements is consistent with Ontario guidelines and based on current clinical guidelines for the best protection of the population against vaccine-preventable diseases. Mandatory immunization for school-aged children is legislated by the Ontario government (Immunizations of Schools Pupil Act).
These changes are being made to improve the health and safety of campers. The
changes will help protect children and staff from vaccine-preventable diseases and reduce the risk of disease outbreaks. These changes also align the immunization requirements for camp with Ontario's publicly funded immunization schedule, which is based on current clinical guidelines for the best protection of the population against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Policy
Camp Northland requires that any member of the camp community in residence (camper or staff) receive up to date, age appropriate immunizations. The list of required immunizations is based on the most recent requirements mandated by the Province of Ontario for school aged children.
It is the responsibility of each resident at camp [and their families if under 18], to meet the immunization requirement. Disclosure on the health form or other records of failure to immunize does not exempt from this requirement except in accordance with the exemption policies as outlined below. If a camper or staff file is reviewed and identified by the Health Care staff that a camper or staff member has not been adequately immunized, the child or staff member will be sent home immediately or required to be picked up by the parent(s) at the camp?s sole discretion. Staff and parents of campers will self-report the status of their immunizations on the Health Information Form submitted annually.
Exemptions from the mandated immunization requirements are allowed for (1) medical reasons (i.e., prior immunity or medical contraindication) or (2) based on an affidavit of conscience or religious belief. In these cases the following is required:
(1) A statement of medical exemption completed by a physician. Exemptions due to medical contraindication can be provided for any reason determined by the physician and can either be permanent or limited to a specified period of time. Evidence of immunity against measles, mumps, or rubella requires laboratory confirmation of immunity or infection. Evidence of immunity against varicella (chickenpox) requires either: a diagnosis or verification of a history of varicella or herpes zoster infection by a health care provider; or a laboratory confirmation of immunity or infection.
(2) A statement of conscience or religious belief must be sworn before a commissioner for taking affidavits in and for the courts in Ontario.
Without exception, and at the sole discretion of Camp Northland and its medical advisors, the camper or staff may be excluded from camp if there is an outbreak or immediate risk of outbreak of a designated disease in the camp where the required immunizations have not been received. Any cost for excluding the camper or staff will be paid for by the parents and a refund for the days missed will not be provided.
Please note that this may be limited by other third party programs, event rules, intercamp policies or other unforeseen limitations.
All staff or campers that have exemptions from immunizations, are not considered exempt until Camp Northland has reviewed the exemption documentation and indicated its acceptance of same. All approved exemptions will still be informed of the Camp Northland Policy.

Head Lice Policy
Lice – No Nit Policy:
As always, the goal for this summer is to have a safe, happy and healthy camp season where campers and staff can enjoy all camp activities without interruption.
In an effort to keep our camp as lice free as possible, Camp Northland – B’nai Brith will adhere to a “No Nit Policy” which involves staff and campers coming to camp free and clear of head lice.
As a courtesy to fellow campers and staff, we are asking everyone who will be attending camp this summer to be checked 5-7 days prior to the start of camp. Any evidence of nits (lice eggs), nymphs (tiny immature lice bugs) and adults (mature lice bugs) must be thoroughly removed.
We will be working with The Lice Crew who will be conducting camp wide head lice screenings at the start of the first and second sessions. If your child is found to have any evidence of head lice, then the protocol is that they will be professionally treated on site by a qualified member of The Lice Crew.
A standard charge of $200 per child treated will be billed directly to each family to help offset the cost of this service. This charge will be applied to all incoming campers and staff at the start of each session as the infestation would have preceded camp. Alternatively, parents are welcome to pick up their child/children and bring them back to camp when they are completely lice free.
Please note that part of the process is after combing and depending on the severity of the case, this could be anywhere from 3-6 sessions in the infirmary. Not only does this disrupt the medical program, but more importantly, it takes time away from your child being able to enjoy camp as it is meant to be.
Information on how to treat and prevent head lice can be found on www.licecrew.com or feel free to e-mail info@licecrew.com if you have any questions that you would like answered or if you would like some free lice advice.
Please find below a discount coupon for a pre-camp and post camp screening if you would like to know with certainty if your child does or does not have head lice. If you are planning on booking a professional screening with The Lice Crew it is recommended that you call in advance as their clinics are by appointment. Direct numbers can be found on the above mentioned website. If head lice is found, it will be removed in a safe, effective, natural and cost effective manner.
Let’s all do our part to keep our camp lice free. Although head lice is not a public health hazard, it is a nuisance and is very easily spread in contained environments/close quarters. Thank you for your co-operation.

Kashrut Policy
Camp Northland serves strictly Kosher (supervised by COR) meals and snacks while on our camp property to all campers, staff, and visitors. However, during the summer, campers may choose to participate in organized trips to other summer camps, parks or sites for competitions, sporting events and/or programs. All campers and staff participating in these optional 'out-of-camp' opportunities will be offered kosher boxed meals and snacks. When campers participate in these activities they are given freedom at these sites during meal and snack times. We cannot take responsibility for the choices that they make with regards to food and snacks consumed outside of the camp itself. If kashrut off site is important to you and your family, you must have this conversation with your camper(s) independently and advise that they elect for, and limit their consumption to, the kosher options that are always made available.
Mail, Faxes, Packages, and Emails
You cannot send packages to your child.
You can send envelopes up to legal size, no larger than 1” thick. We only accept those sent by regular mail. No courier packages are allowed. You cannot send any food, candy or toys to your child. All large envelopes are opened and these items are removed. Only books, magazines and letters are given to the campers.
Emails and faxes sent to camp, despite being intended for delivery to specific campers, remain in plain view of staff and should not be considered private and confidential nor should anything of personal nature be sent by email or fax with any expectation of privacy. Furthermore, emails and faxes may be reviewed by camp staff prior to delivery, and the camp reserves the right to decline delivery of any emails or faxes containing content that does not conform to the camp’s policies, the spirit of our policies and values as well as our camper code of conduct.
This is not an exhaustive list of our camp policies. Please also refer to all camp manuals, information booklets, emails, and newsletter communications.

In these unprecedented times of uncertainty, it is important to note that all accepted registrations are inherently and now expressly conditional upon the Camp being fully and completely operational during the entire upcoming summer camping season, or any part thereof.
In the event that the Camp cannot so operate during the entire 2020 camping season, or any so part thereof, due to CoVid19, related impediments, legislative restriction or other circumstances beyond the Camp’s reasonable control, the Camp will provide notice of cancellation of registration and/or proposed alternative session opportunities to you at your ordinary email address as soon as is practicable.
Upon delivery to you of such notice, your registration will be deemed canceled or modified, as the case may be, depending on available confirmed or alternative session offerings. The Camp will have no liability to you whatsoever for any damages or losses, however caused, arising from any such voiding, nullification, modification, cancellation or termination of registration beyond those outlined in the camp's cancellation policy, if applicable.
