5. DISCRIMINATION AND WELFARE POLICY

KAPRB is mandated to report all suspected and visual signs of child abuse or neglect to the
Department of Social and Health Services of Child Protective Services for the State of PA.
6. INCLUSION
KAPRB welcomes students of all levels of ability. If your child has a special need(s), you are
required to contact our Recreation Coordinator, Claire Finfrock two (2) weeks prior to the start
of camp to explain any special requirements so your child can have a positive experience.
7. SNACKS, LUNCH & DRINKS
KAPRB does not provide snacks or lunch. Campers must pack their own lunch and snacks.
We want the camp experience to be as focused as possible, so we ask that sugar snacks be kept
to a minimum.
8. MEDICATIONS
Please make sure that medications have been given prior to arrival at camp. Please inform the
staff in writing about any medication issues, including medications that will need to be taken
during camp hours. (Please note: The KAPRB staff will not be responsible for administering
medications.)
9. BEHAVIOR
Fun and safety are only possible when there are behavior guidelines. Campers are expected to
show respect for fellow campers, counselors, staff and camp property. Disruptive behavior and
physical aggression are not acceptable.

KAPRB Summer Camp staff will make every effort to provide a positive experience for
campers. If a camper cannot live within the rules of the camp or the camper’s behavior
adversely affects the experiences of other children, KAPRB reserves the right to issue a warning
to the camper and parent/guardian. KAPRB Summer Camp will not accept behaviors such as
profanity, disrespect and inappropriate actions or any unsafe behaviors that are potentially
harmful to themselves or to others.
If a situation arises where a camper threatens the safety or security of another camper, or if a
camper shows disregard for camp guidelines, we will make every appropriate effort to inform
the parents involved, and to correct the behavior and provide a positive camp experience for
everyone. However, should disruptive behavior continue, the child may be dismissed from the
camp at the discretion of KAPRB.
10. BEFORECARE PROGRAM
KAPRB will provide before care for campers at an additional fee. There will be no aftercare
provided by KAPRB. Please check with the camp director for specifics related to rates and
scheduled hours of before care.
