-
Bullying or aggressive behavior

If Expectations Aren’t Met
Our goal is always to help children succeed. When a camper struggles with expectations, we:

In rare cases where a child cannot follow safety or behavior expectations, dismissal from camp
may be necessary to protect the experience of the group.
A Gentle Note About Behavior
Behavior challenges are very rare at Children’s Art Place. Most campers thrive in our creative
and a positive environment.
When challenges do arise, we address them with patience, care, and clear guidance. Our goal is
always to support each child while maintaining a joyful and safe group experience.

We take our responsibility to every child seriously and appreciate family partnership in helping Make camp a wonderful experience for all.
