Always lock doors to vans and lock golf carts when not in use.
FISCAL AWARENESS:
Auburn Youth Programs are revenue generating programs that give back and support University
Outreach – a priority in Auburn’s Strategic Mission. Meals, shoe tags, t-shirts equal revenue!
TOBACCO POLICY:
All campers and counselors will observe the university's NO smoking ordinances. No counselor or staff
member will smoke, chew tobacco, or involve themselves in other behavior that is inappropriate for
minors.
ALCOHOL AND ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES:
The camp policy is that NO camper or staff member is allowed to consume alcohol on campus whether
or not camp is in session. Moreover, no staff member is allowed to possess nor consume any substance
that is deemed illegal by the university or by city, state, or federal law. The possession or consumption
of alcohol (as well as any other illegal substance) on campus is prohibited and will not be tolerated.
Building security officers have the right to confiscate alcoholic beverages from under age drinkers and
other violators of this policy.
Do not wear any clothing with alcoholic products or messages during camp. All these measures are
taken to ensure a professional atmosphere and to avoid the appearance of encouraging the
consumption of alcohol.

Never allow yourself to be in a position to be alone with a child. This includes all facilities, vehicles, etc...
Perception is reality. Use the battle buddy concept - never be alone.

During any counseling session with children, youth, or adults of the opposite gender, any door of theroom used should remain open for the entire session. Ideally the session will be conducted with a Lead
Counselor and in a timely manner.

ANTI BULLYING:
Bullying is when one or more people exclude, tease, taunt, gossip, hit, kick, or put down another person
with the intent to hurt another. Bullying happens when a person or group of people want to have power
over another and use their power to get their way at the expense of someone else. Bullying can also
happen through cyberspace: through the use of e-mails, text messaging, instant messaging and other
less direct methods. This type of bullying can also lead to persons being hurt during or between camp
seasons and can be especially hurtful when persons are targeted with meanness and exclusion.
At Auburn Youth Programs, bullying is inexcusable and we have a firm policy against all types of
bullying.
Unfortunetly, persons who are bullied may not have the same potential to get the most out of their
camp experince. Our leaders address all incidents of bullying seriously and train all staff to promote
communication with their staff and their campers so both staff and caqmpers will be comfortable
alerting us to any problems during their camp experince and between camp seasons. Every person has
the right to expect to have the best possible experience at camp, and by working together as a team to
identify and manage bullying, we can help ensure that all campers and staff have a great summer.
Counselors and staff will ensure a proactive apprach to bullying to:
1.
identify early
2.
correct immediately
3.
prevent escalation
SAFETY MANAGEMENT
MEDICAL EMERGENCY POLICIES:
There will, unfortunately, be instances of campers injuring themselves. Each counselor will receive a list
of emergency phone numbers for Camp Managers, Program Developers, Directors and EmergencyServices. Always contact the Camp Manager and Program Developer as soon as possible. The following
are a few guidelines to help you in these cases:
In a non-life threatening situation:
Make the camper comfortable.
Call the Camp Manager or Program Developer immediately.
Administer First Aid as required
In a life threatening situation:
Have someone call 911 and report the situation. An ambulance, firetruck and police officer will be
dispatched. Be aware that all are coming. Remain calm. This will help in calming the camper and situation.
Call the Camp Manager or Program Developer immediately.
Administer First Aid as required
In all injury situations remember:
Remain as calm as possible.
With the help of other counselors, establish crowd control within the area. Cordon the area.
8/16/2019 2016 Manual

Never move an injured camper.
Avoid transporting a camper in your own vehicle. Only use state vehicles (vans).
Report all injuries no matter how small to the Camp Manager or Program Developer.
DO NOT attempt to contact parents, friends, etc., off campus during an emergency as it will serve to
add further confusion to the crisis.
Completely describe the incident/accident in a written Injury Illness Report. Keep one copy and give
other to your Program Developer.
REACT CALMLY AND PROMPTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
Always remain calm – in an emergency it goes a long way towards infusing order to potentially chaotic
situations.
KEEP AN ACCURATE FILE OF EMERGENCY DATA DURING CAMP:
This information is requested for each camper, but must be verified the first night during orientation.
Make a list of medications campers have with them. You will receive a copy of everyone's medical
information at the beginning of the week. Keep this and all other camper information with you at all
times.
Keep an eye on students who self administer medication to make sure they are taking it properly.
Report any concerns to the Camp Manger or Program Developer immediately.
SEVERE WEATHER:
In the event of Severe Weather, Auburn Youth Programs Staff and Counselors will know what to do and
how to execute a severe weather plan. It is important to remain calm and direct campers to locations
designated as severe weather shelter areas. After the severe weather threat has passed, normal
activities can resume. The Office of Professional and Continuing Education will host camps in a variety of
facilities on campus, so it is important to know where designated shelter areas are located in each
facility. If you hear the severe weather siren or severe weather is imminent, implement the stepsbelow.
If outdoors, seek shelter in a building on the lowest floor in an interior room or corridor. If you are
caught outside seek the lowest area possible. A ditch may be the best solution.
Indoors, seek shelter on the lowest floor in an interior room or corridor.
After reaching a suitable shelter area, face an inside wall. In severe danger campers should be told
to crouch on elbows and knees with hands behind head.
Dorms: Shelter areas are in first floor interior rooms or corridors.
Arena/Coliseum: Shelter areas are in first floor internal hallways (not the main floor).
Student Activities Center: Primary shelter is in Room 104 (old fitness room). The restrooms next to
Room 104 and the hallway area outside the restrooms only, are also designated shelter areas. If
those areas are full, please proceed to Room 106 (old weight room).

AUBURN UNIVERSITY SUMMER CAMP DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES
Each camper has a reasonable expectation to enjoy a positive camp experience. Therefore, the
misbehavior of one camper, or a group of campers, should not be permitted to impact negatively on the
camp experience of others. Most camps are short in duration, so prompt action is required when
problems occur. Parents and campers should be aware of the disciplinary policy.
First Offense: Campers failing to adhere to camp rules, or exhibiting behavior clearly intended to annoy
or endanger other campers, will be privately and formally warned by a Camp Counselor and informed
that subsequent misbehavior will result in formal counseling by the Camp Director.
Second Offense: Subsequent misconduct will result in counseling by the Camp Director and a warning
that further misconduct will result in removal from camp. At this point, the Camp Director will contact
the parent or guardian to advise him/her of the situation and the possible need for picking the child up
from camp if there is further misconduct.
Third Offense: Any further inappropriate behavior will result in counseling by the Campus Sponsor of
the camp and expulsion from camp.
NOTE: AUBURN UNIVERSITY EXPECTS EACH CAMPER TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL CAMP EXPERIENCE. ANY
OF THE STEPS OUTLINED ABOVE MAY BE OMITTED OR REPEATED AT THE DISCRETION OF CAMP STAFF.
CAMPERS DISMISSED FROM CAMP FOR DISCIPLINARY REASONS WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY
FEES PAID TO ATTEND CAMP.
It should be understood this procedure is intended to provide a reasonable and consistent method for
dealing with the type of behavior that can be disruptive to a camp, but is not so egregious as to warrant
immediate dismissal from camp. It in no way precludes immediate dismissal from camp for more serious
disciplinary problems or violations of campus or camp regulations. A serious disciplinary problem is
defined as one in which the camp staff determines that a child is engaging in inappropriate behavior
that includes, but is not limited to the following: actions which put the camper, other campers, or camp
staff member’s safety in jeopardy; inflicting physical or emotional harm on self or others, vandalism or
destruction of University property; theft of University property or the property of another camper;
consistently disrupting the program; possession of alcohol, drugs, or weapons; fighting; sexual
harassment; sexual misconduct, or behavior that is serious enough to warrant a third offense.
Parent and Student Pledge: I/we understand the disciplinary procedures described above. I/we
understand failure to demonstrate proper conduct during camp may result in early dismissal from camp
without any refund of fees paid to attend. We pledge to abide by all camp rules and to exercise goodbehavior and proper respect for others.
