LOYALTY
The KidzCamp at Heritage Hills will be a leader in product, curriculum, as well as staff that will be visible to our parents and campers. Our Kidz Camp staff plays a vital role in all of the above. Our staff (you) will be the reason we achieve the goal of leader in product, curriculum, and staff. We want your input as we work together to make it a successful summer for all involved. With open communication and a team spirit, we will not only maintain our excellent standards, but we will improve upon our goals and objectives. :-)
CODE OF ETHICS
Kidz Camp staff are all required to not only adhere to the Campers' CODE OF CONDUCT themselves, but they are required to make sure that each camper adheres to the CODE OF CONDUCT so that Kidz Camp is enjoyable for all involved.
I shall conduct myself in an exemplary manner, recognizing that I am an adult role model for my campers. I will always try to demonstrate high moral values with my behavior. I recognize that my conduct, even when I am away from the camp premises, also reflects on the camp.
I shall always seek to be truthful, honest, and fair in my communication and interactions with campers and all staff.
I accept the challenges of helping my campers increase their awareness of and responsibility to others, helping them gain in self-confidence and self-concept, and teaching new skills.
I shall refrain from abusive language and any form of corporal punishment or embarrassment in dealing with campers, or other staff.
I shall be accepting of the diverse racial, national, religious and cultural background of my campers and not seek to impose my own particular views.
WORK SCHEDULE
Length of Season: Camp is a 10-week season in session from June 11th through August 17th.
Staff orientation and training dates will be announced and attendance is mandatory.
The end of season wrap up is also mandatory and the date will be announced.
WORKING HOURS:
Attendance: Because we only have a 10 week season, there are NO PAID SICK DAYS or VACATION TIME GIVEN to staff. Counselors will not be paid for any day that they are absent.
Lateness: Lateness can result in unpaid suspension and termination of employment. You must report to work on time. Team members are expected to arrive at such a time on site so that they are fully "unpacked" and read to work and engage with campers at their assigned start time.
Intent: It is our commitment to our campers that they receive maximum and optimum supervision at all times. Excessive absence undermines this supervision and jeopardizes the safety of our campers, as well as deprives them of the full camp experience to which they are entitled.
ALL STAFF IS REQUIRED TO BE AWARE OF TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY IN ORDER TO MEET SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS
Absolutely NO tobacco, drugs, or alcohol are permitted on the camp premises, in the parking lot, or on any day or overnight trips. Violation of this regulation will lead to immediate dismissal, as well as prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
