Supplemental Camp Policies related to Summer 2020 and On-line Programming (Updated June,2020)
Staff:
Our standard Code of Conduct, regulations and policies apply wherever applicable, as posted on our website and updated from time to time. Staff and/or volunteers or ‘volunteer staff’ (former staff that are helping facilitate these programs as volunteers) [collectively referred to as ‘staff’ herein] are also mandated to adhere to and comply without exception to all Staff Policies. This is an additional supplement to the existing policies. 

The following policies are in place for the safety of our staff, campers, and their families. Please read through these policies carefully, as they are all important standards in running a fun and safe summer camp. 
  • Camp Northland Staff Policy Manual
  • Camp Northland Staff Handbook: Procedures, Expectations and Resources
Despite the changes in circumstance around camp this summer, we must maintain professionalism under the same rigor as within the outdoor camp setting. 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 staff must adhere to these guidelines, as adapted by Camp Northland herein.

All staff must at all times without exception:
• Apply professional standards to all online interactions with campers and parents.
• Maintain professional boundaries by communicating with campers and parents during appropriate times of day and through established and authorized camp platforms (as opposed to staff using their own personal accounts).
• Keep communication goal-oriented and tied to outcomes for a specific camp program.
• Keep all forms of communication transparent by including parents on all correspondence.
• Camp staff must avoid sharing personal videos or requesting a camper share personal videos. If a video is created tied to a camp program/activity, it can only be used if posted to a camp approved platform for campers to access as opposed to sending directly to a camper’s personal account.
• Follow Camp Northland’s privacy policies if posting any digital pictures or other identifying information on social media or websites. For summer 2020, all such posting should be approved by our Directors in advance.
• Set appropriate restrictions to maximize your privacy on your personal social media accounts, ensuring that campers cannot view or post content.
• Refrain from sending or accepting friend requests from campers or liking content in campers’ personal social media accounts.
• Ensure transparency during video chat discussions with campers. While chatting, all parties should be located in common/high traffic household areas (bedrooms/bathrooms are off limits). Proper clothing attire should also be worn.

Questions to ask yourself:
• Would a parent/guardian consider my interaction as reasonable and professional?
• Protocols and procedures if something must be considered and understood in advance of any session. If something happens, (consider issues like abuse/injury/another child not ‘registered’ joins the program [sibling for example]), you must take appropriate action immediately, advise a supervising Director, and complete and submit an incident report to the supervising Director within 24 hours of the incident occurring.
• What are the reporting procedures (Children’s Aid Society, local Police Department) – all of the expectations as outlined in our policies and manuals around ‘Duty to Report’ apply despite the on-line setting.
 
Examples of inappropriate electronic communication include:
• Intimate or personal texting with campers.
• Sexualized exchanges (communication, pictures, etc.) with campers.
• Using informal and unprofessional language, such as profanity with campers.
• Criticizing campers, parents or colleagues.
• Posting or forwarding content, links or comments that might be considered inappropriate, offensive,
discriminatory or inconsistent with professional or ethical standards.
• Communicating with campers through personal social media accounts or apps.
 
Staff must participate and successfully complete our summer 2020 on-line training session(s) and complete and submit a ‘volunteer’ form if not under contract for summer 2020 as a camp employee. ​
