• A student who violates any of these rules will be immediately dismissed from the summer program.

SPECIFICALLY …

• Students should not bring any valuables (including electronic equipment, video games, or toys/sports equipment) to camp with them. We cannot guarantee the security of valuables, and we would not want to see anyone’s summer camp experience ruined by the loss of some special item(s). For similar reasons students should not bring money to camp with them.
