Supplemental Camp Policies related to On-line Programming
Parents and Children:
To provide a standard of measure on best practices, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, in partnership with the Ontario Camps Association, has developed guidelines to help establish professional boundaries for virtual camp programs. All parents and campers must adhere to these guidelines, as adapted by Camp Northland and provided herein.
Parents and children must also comply with all existing policies and the Camper and Parent Code of Conduct. This document is an additional supplement to the existing policies.
Parent and Camper Mandatory On-Line Conduct Guide (for any online programming):
Parents and campers will ensure that:
• Campers do not send friend requests to staff through social media accounts;
• All parties should be located in common/high traffic household areas (bedrooms/bathrooms are off limits).
* Proper clothing attire must always be worn.
* Only registered children participate in the facilitated on-line programs. If there is more than one child in the household that may participate, all must be registered with the camp. If a child appears that is not registered, the link to your household will be terminated and your account may be suspended pending further review and discussion.
* The camp reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate sessions, link or participation if any aspect of our expectations or policies is violated in fact or spirit.
By participating in this program, I understand that:
1) The Camper and Parent Code of Conduct is still in effect for online programming. All camp policies remain in effect as applicable, as may change from time to time. These policies can be found here: https://www.campnbb.com/camp-policies.html.
2) If a participant says/does something either explicitly or in the background that would violate the Code of Conduct in any way, the host will immediately disable that participant's video. If the issue is not resolved, or refuses to be resolved, the participant will be kicked out of the remainder of the session and the parents will be notified.
3) While Camp Northland is taking every measure to keep our online participants safe, they are participating at their own risk. A parent/guardian must be home since we are engaging the child. Although some of our programs are facilitated, it is the parent/guardian that has full supervisory responsibilities for the child or children participating.
4)a) Camp Northland is facilitating an activity, not acting as a supervisor for the child.
4)b) For unfacilitated shared programming ideas, the camp has no involvement, nor supervisory role or responsibility. Each family should also make its own determination as to appropriateness of the recommended programs for your children. Each child is different, and the camp cannot determine the appropriateness of a particular program for your child with recommended self-managed programming.
5) The participant will post and participate online both responsibly and positively.
6) The participant will be mindful of privacy settings and online safety.
7) Camp Northland will not tolerate bullying of any kind which includes cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS, text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior. Bullying of any kind, including cyberbullying, may result in expulsion from any camp program, including virtual programs, with no refund provided, where applicable.
8) Camp Northland, it's agents, employees, and affiliates including third party program or content providers are in no way responsible for any loss, injury, illness and/or damage of any kind whatsoever arising from, or relating to, the delivery of the ideas and/or resources in any communications related to this program.
By participating in any of our programs, whether facilitated programming, or through ideas shared by email, social media or otherwise, you are agreeing that Camp Northland, its agents, staff, representatives and affiliates are in no way responsible for any loss, injury, illness and/or damage of any kind whatsoever arising from, or related to, the delivery of these program, ideas and/or resources. You may opt out of our email based program at any time by clicking opt out links where provided or emailing [email protected] with your preferences.
