Our teachers are passionate and knowledgeable educators that are dedicated to making each camp informational and fun for all campers. Most classes also have a Volunteer Camp Assistant.

Q. What is Compass Inn Museum’s discipline policy?

A. Parents are required to read and sign the Compass Inn Museum Camp terms and conditions, which include behavior expectations and discipline guidelines, upon registration.

Discipline will be handled on a case by case basis, but generally if a child misbehaves we will handle the situation in this manner:

1. The first time a rule is broken, or a child misbehaves, the teacher will issue a warning to the child.

2. After the second occurrence, the Program Coordinator will speak to the child and parents will be notified.

3. If there is a third occurrence, the parents will be called and asked to pick their child up. They will not be able to return to camp that week. No refunds will be given for children that are asked to leave camp.

   *No bullying, or behavior that results in the harm of another person, will be tolerated. In this case, the child may be asked to leave after the first incident. There will be NO REFUNDS for missed days due to disciplinary infractions.*

Q. What if my child takes medications?

A. Only medications that are prescribed by a physician or necessary to treat a disability are allowed at camp. If your child needs to take medications during camp, you must notify LVHS at least 10 business days prior to the first day of camp. All approved medications must be given to the program coordinator on Monday morning in the original container. All medications will be stored in a secure location until they need to be taken. It is up to you, and your child, to communicate with the program coordinator when he/she needs to take those medications.

Q. What if my child has allergies?

A. Please make sure to list all allergies on the required Health History portion of the permission form so we can do our best to keep your child safe. This form can be found on your camper’s. If your child has an Epi-pen, please communicate with the program coordinator, as noted above. If your child has a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction during camp, 911 will be called immediately and parents and guardians will be notified.
