Spring Break Day Camp gives campers an opportunity

camper’s swimming ability. Campers have the opportunity
to participate in a variety of water activities, such as
swimming, the zip line, canoeing, and the two water slides.
Other activities offered are golf, tennis, archery, riflery,
sharks tooth pile, athletics, and boat rides.
Summer Day Camp
1-week sessions / Rising Grades 1-5
Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer place emphasis on
quality staff and safe programs that help to develop strong
character, skill and leadership. Campers will participate in
huddle groups with campers of similar age and grade. The
Summer Day Camp program offers 1-week sessions where
campers play on camp activities, receive swim instruction
on a daily basis, participate in assemblies and huddle
challenges, and have daily devotions with their huddles.
Adventure Camp

The one-week Summer Day Camp is designed for older
campers. Campers will participate in a special daily camp
activity, local field trips, and activities offered at Camp Sea
Gull and Camp Seafarer.
Day Camp Trainee Program
Rising Grades 9-10
This program is designated for campers who have an
interest in becoming a strong leader and positively
impacting children. Trainees meet several times a week
to learn about leadership qualities. They also assist in
huddle life as mentors to our summer day camp campers.
Trainees are required to go through an application and
interview process before being accepted into the Summer
Day Camp Trainee program. Once the day camp application
is received, trainees will be mailed a Summer Day Camp
Trainee application. The trainee application process deadline
is April 25, 2016. Once the Summer Day Camp Trainee
application has been received and reviewed, trainees will
be contacted for a phone interview to discuss their role at
Camp and identify potential upcoming leaders for the Day
Camp program.

2016 Behavior Expectations and Discipline Policy
It is important that staff maintain good order and discipline in all programs. Top objectives in all Camp programs are safety and a
positive atmosphere for learning and developing social skills. Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer make every effort to help children
understand clear definitions of acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
The Camps do not condone and will not permit:
1. Corporal punishment.
2. Ridiculing, threatening, using inappropriate
loud voice.
3. Leaving children unattended.
4. Use of profanity.
A child’s behavior is expected to be consistent with the following:
1. Use appropriate language at all times.
4. Maintain a positive attitude.
2. Cooperate with staff and follow directions.
5. S
tay in program areas – running away is not acceptable.
3. Respect other children and staff, equipment and facilities, and 6. P
articipate successfully within the Camp’s staff-child ratios
yourself.
specific for Day Camp.
The Discipline Policy:
1. If a child is unable to comply with the behavior expectations, the Camp Director will hold a conference with the child.
The parent(s)/guardian will be notified.
2. If after the above meeting, the child is still unable to comply with the behavior expectations, the Camp Director will set up
a conference with the parent(s)/guardian. A behavior contract will be established and signed by the child (if appropriate),
parent(s)/guardian and the Camp Director.
3. If the child’s behavior continues to be dispruptive and/or unsafe, the child will be subject to suspension
or dismissal.
4. Failure of the parent(s)/guardian to attend conference(s) and cooperate will subject the child to suspension
or dismissal.
Behaviors, which may result in immediate dismissal, include but are not limited to:

2. Fighting.
7. Running away.
3. Possession of a weapon of any kind.
8. Biting.
Special Circumstances
Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer are committed to providing children an opportunity for full and equal enjoyment
of the camping experience. If your child appears to have any serious behavioral problems, or special circumstances involving physical,
medical, or psychological concerns, the Director should be notified of this now, so reasonable modification can be considered. Children
cannot be accepted that do not have the promise of interacting cooperatively, compatibly, and safely with other children. Camping
is designed to be a strong influence in the lives of children it serves and typical problems are overcome. Camp Sea Gull and Camp
Seafarer recognize that most children’s problems are quite normal and correctable through a program of high expectations and positive
motivation. However, children with serious behavioral problems should have special guidance concerning their readiness before going to
Camp. These problems should be discussed with the Director and the advisability of accepting the child can be determined at this time.
The Director reserves the right to decline the application of any child, or send home any child who, according to the
Director’s discretion, is not a desirable associate for the other campers. If a camper is dismissed due to behavioral/social
issues the tuition is not refundable.
I have read, understand and agree with the policies stated in this document and have discussed the expectations of
behavior with my child.

2016 Youth Program Policies
Waivers/Permissions:
1. I permit my child to participate in activities planned by the Day Camp Director and staff.
2. Field Trips – I permit my child to leave Camp on authorized trips under the supervision of the Camp staff. I may review a written schedule of
activities to be conducted off the Camp premises.
3. Photography – I permit Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer to utilize video-tape, audio or photography materials of myself or dependent
children, for the purpose of promotional materials for Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer programs and services. This includes any printed
material, broadcast and print advertising, promotional videos and our Camp website which are produced or published by Camp Sea Gull and
Camp Seafarer. I understand that my child’s name is not published.
4. Transportation – I understand and agree that Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer programs will provide transportation for my child 1) to
a Camp program from a pre-designated pick up location 2) from a Camp program to a pre-designated drop off location. Camp Sea Gull and
Camp Seafarer’s liability for my child begins when the child boards a YMCA vehicle and ends when the child exits the vehicle. Under some
circumstances, Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer’s liability will continue if my child is exiting the YMCA vehicle to participate in a Summer
Day Camp Program. Pick up and drop off points will be determined prior to my child attending the Summer Day Camp Program. If the staff
encounter circumstances that they perceive as dangerous at the location where my child is scheduled to exit a YMCA vehicle, my child will not
be permitted to exit.
Medical Treatment Policies:
1. Accident Insurance – Participants are responsible for their own accident insurance when using the Camps and when participating in Camp
programs off-site.
2. Medication – Camps do not normally administer any medication and will do so only when directed in writing by the child’s parent(s) or
guardian. However, in the event of an emergency in which the parent cannot be contacted, Emergency Medical Staff and Camp Staff may take
appropriate action in the best interest of the child. A doctor’s prescription must accompany any medications or nutritional supplements.
3. Blood Borne Pathogen Exposure – I understand that, while my child is in the care of Camps, if a child is exposed to a body of fluid on
broken skin or mucous membrane (e.g. splashing in mouth or eye), from another child, the Camps will contact the parents of both children.
They will explain what has occurred, and then provide the names of the attending physician of the source child to the parents of the exposed
child. If a staff member has a blood or body fluid exposure from a child, the Camps will provide the name and telephone number of the child’s
attending physician to the staff member.
I have read and agree with the statement and specifically authorize the Camps to release the name and telephone number of my child’s
physician, and a description of the event to the parent(s) or guardian of any child who is exposed to blood or body fluid or any staff member who
experiences such exposure from my child.
Program Policies:
1. Babysitting Policy – Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer strive to employ the very best staff possible in all of our programs. During staff timeoff or after they are no longer employed with us, these persons are private citizens and are no longer subject to our employment rules and
procedures. Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer cannot and do not endorse or recommend its present or former staff members as babysitters to
any parent or guardian of any child in any of our programs. Any babysitting arrangements with present or former staff of Camp Sea Gull and
Camp Seafarer is separate and independent from any other programs and must be based on the independent investigation, responsibility and
judgment of the parent or guardian. I agree that Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer shall not be responsible and will be held harmless from any
claims or liability in connection with such babysitting activities.
2. I understand that Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer are not responsible for articles of clothing or personal belongings damaged or missing in
transit, loss or theft. Children should not bring money to camp.
3. It is policy of Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer to consider applications and operate programs and facilities in a nondiscriminatory manner.

include the zipline, giant swing, climbing wall, alpine tower and challenge course elements. My signature below gives my child permission to
participate on the activities.

1. I understand that a refund of all fees paid (less a $25 processing fee) will be made if Camp receives written notification of cancellation by
