BUCKEYE SPORTS CAMPS CAMPER RULES AND EXPECTATIONS
At the camp’s orientation meeting, a member of the camp staff will review these rules and may announce additional campspecific rules. Campers’ adherence to these rules and expectations is critical to making our camps safe, rewarding and fun for all participants. The Ohio State University is a large campus in a major metropolitan area. The safety of our campers is a primary concern. There is adult supervision at all times in the dorms and during all structured camp activities. Campers may have free time during which an adult is available but may not be directly monitoring all activities (e.g., when a camper is in his dorm room during a break or prior to lights out). Expectations for camper behavior: • Follow all instructions of camp staff and immediately consult the camp director if you are uncertain about these instructions. The term “camp director” as used in this document also includes other camp staff that have been designated by the camp director. • Follow the camp schedule (including “lights out”) and report on time for all sessions. • Participate in all scheduled activities (including camp meals). Only the camp director may grant permission to be excused from a camp activity. Attendance will be taken. • Keep your camp counselors informed of your whereabouts at all times. • If you are attending camp as a resident/overnight camper, keep your dorm room and hallway clean. • Keep track of your room key. Do not loan your key to another camper. • Lock your room whenever you leave, even for a short time. Buckeye Sports Camps is not responsible for campers’ lost or stolen items. • Use the buddy system (designated by your camp director) at all times when travelling between camp areas (e.g., from the dorm to the dining hall). Campers may only be in designated camp areas. • Bring all equipment that is required to participate in camp. Label all personal belongings and equipment. • Notify a camp counselor as soon as any problem arises, big or small. Camp staff are available to help you at all times. • Follow the instructions of police, fire and other emergency personnel. Behaviors not permitted: • Using profanity or inappropriate language whether it is written or verbal. • Leaving the camp area as designated by the camp director. Campers are not permitted to walk freely around the campus or surrounding areas. If your parent is picking you up prior to the completion of any camp session (day or term), you must give the camp director a note from your parents in advance. • Visitors are not permitted in the camp dorm or dining areas. Spectators are only permitted to watch camp sessions from designated public areas. • Using a motor vehicle during camp. Campers who drive to camp may be required to give their keys to the camp director. • Possession and/or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances. • Possession of matches, lighters, hot plates, kettles, fireworks, lethal weapons or other objects that the camp director considers dangerous. • Possession and/or distribution of indecent literature or images. • Tampering with fire alarms, safety, or security equipment. • Inappropriate use of a cell phone during camp – phone may be confiscated for the duration of camp. • Damaging or stealing University or other people’s personal property. Dorm rooms are inspected prior to check-in, immediately following checkout, and at any other time deemed necessary by the camp staff. The cost of repairing any damages to the room and/or furniture will be billed to the camper. Camp fees do not cover payment for any lost or stolen items. Campers will be billed the cost for any lost keys, linens, etc. • Harassment, bullying or intimidation of other campers or staff. Hazing is strictly forbidden! • Excessive noise or horseplay. • Entering residence hall rooms other than your own without permission. You may only sleep in your assigned dorm room. • Permitting any person to enter a camp dorm building. • Moving furniture in any dorm or other University building. • Girls are not permitted in boys’ dorm rooms and boys are not permitted in girls’ dorm rooms. • Removing food, glassware, utensils, or any other items from the dining commons or other dining areas. • Violations of federal/state laws.
Campers and parents should review this important information prior to arriving at camp. Questions may be directed to the Buckeye Sports Camps Office at (614) 247-CAMP . While unacceptable conduct is not anticipated from campers, violation of any camp rule or expectation could result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from camp. Refunds will not be issued to campers dismissed from camp for disciplinary reasons. We expect that parents or guardians of campers will be available (by phone) during the duration of the camp in the event the camp director or other camp staff needs to speak with them about a camper’s behavior.
