Summer Camps 2018 parks.raleighnc.gov 29

The following camps are community-based recreation programs specifically designed to provide recreation and leisure opportunities for individuals with disabilities in a camp environment that is safe, fun, allows independence, and enhances quality of life. Camp fees will be pro-rated to $120 for all camp session during the week of July 3rd-7th. All participants should bring a lunch, 2 snacks, a water bottle and a change of clothes daily.

Registration for Camp Friendly and Camp Exploration will close on April 30, 2018. Once registered, families will receive additional information and forms to complete.

Once the camper’s forms are received, the Camp Supervisor will review your camper’s information and schedule a follow up interview. For campers who attended the same camp in 2017, a phone interview will be scheduled. For campers who are new to the specific camp program in 2018 a live interview with the camper and parent/guardian will be scheduled. This is part of the registration process to ensure that your camper is registered in the appropriate session so they can be the most successful at camp this

summer. This interview not only allows us to get to know the camper better but to also provide a forum where we can answer any of your more specific questions that you may have. If at this interview, or up to two weeks before your camper attends camp, it is determined that Camp Friendly/Exploration is not suitable for your camper, we will grant a full refund for the weeks in which they are registered.

All camper forms must be received by June 1, 2018, and interviews must occur at least 2 weeks before your camper’s first day of camp. Any paperwork not received or interviews not completed by the appropriate deadline will forfeit the camper’s space at camp, at which time a full refund will be given.

Please visit our website at www.raleighnc.gov and search “Specialized Recreation and Inclusion Services.” Navigate to the Summer Camps tab for more detailed and outlined information. If you would like to speak with us further before beginning the registration process please contact Specialized Recreation at 919-996-2147 and we will happily answer any questions you may have regarding the camp programs and registration process.

Thank you so much for providing a safe and fun camp for my son with special needs. There are so few places where he can go and truly be understood. Thank you!

2018 Camp PoliciesAge VerificationThe City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department strives to provide age appropriate curriculum and programming for all recreation services delivered . To meet this goal, the age of the participant, as of the cut-off date for the program, is required at the time of registration to appropriately place the participant in our programs . The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department reserves the right to request that the parent/guardian provide a legal document (i .e . birth certificate) verifying the age of the participant, as of August 31st of this year that was denoted on the registration form . If legal documentation is requested and not provided within 24 hours, the program supervisor may offer the parent/guardian a transfer to an age appropriate program if available or dismiss the participant from the program .

The City of Raleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department shall not be responsible for any claims or liability in connection with such babysitting activities .

Behavior Management We utilize and encourage the practice of praise and positive reinforcement as effective methods of behavior management . We believe that when participants receive positive and understanding interactions, they can develop good self-concept, problem-solving abilities, and self-discipline . Our programs will create an environment that encourages positive choices through understanding participant’s basic needs and explaining program expectations .

• Monitoring – Noticing program environment-daily check-in with participants-active participation with participants and proper staff placement .

• Positive Reinforcement – providing participants a positive program environment .

• Redirection – stop the undesired behavior and redirect participant to make the positive choice .

• Time Out – Provide an opportunity for discussion between staff and the participant by asking questions about the behavior .

When positive choices are not made by the participants, the following procedures will be followed:

1 . Initially, participants will be given a quiet reprimand/ verbal warning .

2 . If behavior persists after verbal warning, a Behavior Action Plan will be implemented to identify specific behaviors and work with the participant and parent/guardian to develop appropriate behavior management solutions .

3 . If behavior problems continue after implementation of the Behavior Action Plan, a first Behavior Incident Report will be presented to the parent/guardian .

4 . Additional behavior problems will constitute a second Behavior Incident Report presented to the parent/guardian and a possible two (2) full-day suspension from the program may occur . (No refunds will be given for the days suspended) . The parent/guardian may be requested to pick up the participant within an hour of the initial contact to the parent/guardian . If a parent/guardian does not pick up the participant within an hour, a late fee may be charged .

5 . If a behavior problem persists, a third Behavior Incident Report will be presented and the participant may be asked to leave the program . A two (2) full day suspension will be issued to the participant while the behavior incident reports are being reviewed .

6 . For severe offenses, such as but not limited to: fighting/hitting, theft, vandalism, bullying in program or through social media, possession of weapons or drugs, severe verbal threats, sexual misconduct, leaving the program/building without proper dismissal, or any other safety related behavior, the participant may be suspended or dismissed from the program immediately .

7 . Participants will not be disciplined in camp for behavior that occurred outside of camp hours, even at parental requests .

8 . Participation in camp activities during program hours is required .

ConfidentialityRaleigh Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department staff will not discuss confidential matters or personal information with anyone outside of the Department or with unauthorized individuals .

All participants are encouraged to respect the confidentiality of other participants by not disclosing personal information with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc .
