Application and Screening Processes for All New Staff
Each job candidate filis out a Staff Application. The application includes requests for the following information:
. Work experience
• Training or certifications pertinent to camp
. Three references
Attached to the application are the foliowing forms:
. CORI Request Form (Commonwealth of Massachusetts criminal record check)
. SORI Request Form (Sexual Offender Registry Information)
. ACA Voluntary Disclosure Statement (FM 16)
Expanded CORIs (adult and juvenile records) are submitted for all prospective employees. For prospective candidates who are not
permanent Massachusetts residents,criminal background checks are conducted in their home and school states through a private
company called National Background Investigators.
Massachusetts SORI checks are conducted on everybody who has ever lived,worked in, or visited the United States. For candidates
who live or attend school in states outside Massachusetts,we do whatever is required by the home state to check his/her name
against its Sexual Offender Registry Board database.
With the exception of a few overseas candidates, each prospective counselor is interviewed face-to-face. If face-to-face interviews
are not possible,the candidate will have an extended phone interview with one of the camp directors. In either case, references are
always called and notes are taken to be kept in the staff member's file. The international staff placement agency that we work with
(CCUSA and BUNAC) conducts background checks on all of the counselors that they place.
Policies for Returning Staff
All returning,seasonal staff members complete CORI and SORI Request Forms and Voluntary Disclosure Statements. The above
background check procedures also apply to returning staff members.
Performance evaluations from past summers are also kept in each staff member's file. If counselors spend any summers away from
camp, additional references are checked prior to their return.

drive and moved to the Director's house for long term storage. All medications are sent home with the
campers.
MEDICAL LOG BOOK
There will be two separate logs, one for staff and one for campers. Each log will contain the names of
campers and staff with a statement of their chief complaint as stated to the nurse and the action taken by the
nurse. There will also be a separate log to record the daily prescription medications for all campers and staff.

Basic Principles
■ Our focus at Camp Wingate Kirkland is on teaching and positive encouragement rather than on
punishment.
■ We strive to be a high quality staff providing a high quality experience.
■ Instead of having many detailed rules, we always appeal to the community to respect each other.
■ The Ladder of Discipline is a framework through which camper behavioral challenges are addressed.
Counselor Guidelines
Responding
■ Ask for help unless you are confident that you are responding in an appropriate way. The single biggest
mistake that counselors make is not ask for help with camper issues. The Lodge Leaders and Directors
are always available and should be interrupted if they appear busy.
■ In interactions with campers, counselors should strive to respond rather than react to children.
Guidelines for Responding to Children
■ You are being entrusted to be a care-taker for children.
■ There is a clear power difference between you and the campers which should inform your actions.
■ You must be sexually appropriate with campers at all times—verbally, non-verbally and physically.
■ Be aware of sexual or sexualized behavior in campers. Be firm and non-shaming when responding to
such behavior.
■ Be aware of, and minimize, activities that tend to over stimulate campers such as tickling and pillow fights.
■ Be conscious about your own stress level and take appropriate steps to respond.
■ If you have any question about any behavior or suspected behavior of a camper, please ask for help.
■ Safe places to touch are the hands, shoulders and upper back.

Policy
■ Under no circumstances may a counselor hit or strike a child.
■ Counselors must not use abusive or derogatory language with campers.
■ Counselors may never touch a child against his or her will, unless there is a clear and present danger to
the child.
■ A counselor may never touch a child if the child appears uncomfortable with the touch, whether that
discomfort is expressed verbally or non-verbally.
■ Never touch a child in a place on his or her body that is normally covered by a bathing suit, unless for a
clear medical necessity, and then only with supervision by another adult.
■ Hazing of campers by other campers or counselors is not permitted.
■ Campers will not be subjected in initiation rites that are abusive in any manner.
■ A counselor will under no circumstances share a bed or sleeping bag with a camper.
A. Nuts and Bolts of Child Abuse Laws
Please be aware of and understand the following, which are covered on the page following this one
■ The definition of a mandated reporter.
■ The purpose of the mandated reporting law.
■ A report of abuse is based on suspicion of abuse, rather than proven abuse.
■ Summary of procedure—time frame, reporting agency, providing the information requested.
■ Penalty for not reporting.

Fire Evacuation Plan
When we run the Search and Rescue drill within the first 48 hours of each camp session, it is communicated
to the campers and staff that the same procedure applies to fires and other emergencies.
1. If a fire occurs at Camp, we must gather and account for everyone in Camp.
2. As soon as the fire is reported to the office, someone there should call 9-1-1 and report it. Give
directions to 20 Linnell Lane and if needed, information about the location and type of fire.
3. The witness will report whether or not he/she knows if any campers or staff might be trapped in the area
of the fire.
4. Simultaneously, the nearest person should run to the Office to alert the staff there to begin our emergency
procedure. At the Office, he/she should take the red horn hanging on a hook to the right of the door. The
person will take the horn and run around Camp antl end up at the basketball court (or alternate location
depending on the location of the fire). In addition, someone will be instructed to continuously ring the
bell at the Office and the Basketball Court, signaling an emergency.
5. Upon hearing the horn, all members of the Camp community will gather at the basketball court, unless the
location of the fire makes that impossible. The Frog Pond Field, Tennis Courts and Upper Soccer Fields
are alternate locations.
6. As campers and staff arrive, bunk counselors will get their campers seated in a line and will quickly count
the number of campers present from their bunk to determine if there are any campers missing.
7. Once everyone is accounted for, everyone should stay there until the fire fighting personnel tell us it is
okay to leave.
While the emergency procedure is happening, Sandy (or Janet or Will if Sandy is not available) will assign
roles to the maintenance crew. He/she will use the office staff and Leaders, as needed. At least one person
should go to the Camp entrance at Linnell Lane to help guide the fire trucks to the site of the fire. Others
should be assigned to go to the fire location and do as much as possible, without risking his/her own safety.

P
Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.)
In the event that we can predict the possibility of a natural disaster, Will and Sandy will assign a Leader to
stay tuned to local media outlets. If the community is advisetl by local authorities to evacuate the area, the '
Camp will do so immediately.
When appropriate, the Camp will follow its standard emergency procedure of blowing the horns and having
the entire community gather at the basketball court. Otherwise, Leaders will be sent around Camp to give
evacuation or other instructions to the entire community.
In case of tornado or high winds:
• Go to basement of new bunks (Hilltop, Joel's Place, Cottage) or to Linnell Lane, as instructed.
• Stay away from glass enclosed places or areas with wide-span roofs, like the Leoj
• Crouch down against the floor and cover the back of your head & neck with your hands
. If no suitable structure is nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch or depression and use your hands to cover
yourhead
In case of flash flooding:
• Evacuate low-lying areas (waterfront, Frog Pond, etc.) and go to higher ground (Hill Bunks, Upper Soccer
Field, Office)
• Do not try to walk through water that is more than ankle deep
. If in a vehicle, do not drive through a flooded area , even if it looks shallow enough to cross
In case of lightning:
• Go to safe shelter immediately
. If boating or swimming, get out of the water immediately and go to the Leoj
. If out of camp in a wooded area, seek shelter under a thick growth of relatively small trees
. If you feel your hair stand on end, squat down with your head between your knees
. Avoid isolated trees or other tall objects, bodies of water, sheds or fences
• Once inside, avoid using a telephone or other electrical appliances — do not take a shower
In case of wildfire:
. Listen to local radio or television stations for updated emergency information
• Follow the instructions of local officials. Wildfires can change direction and speed suddenly. Local
officials can advise you of the safest escape route, which may be different than you expected.
. If you are trapped, crouch in the pond. You cannot outrun a fire.
. Lie flat and cover your body with wet clothing or soil.
. If water is not around look for shelter in a cleared area or among a bed of rocks.
. Breathe the air close to the ground through a wet cloth to avoid scorching lungs or inhaling smoke.

CAM P 1MNGATE�4F�ND IQDDER OF DISCIPUNE
Step One: After a sign of disrespectful or inappropriate behavior, the counselor points it out to the camper
and asks for a change in behavior as needed. It is important to explain the reason to the camper and make
sure the suggested change is a reasonable one.
Step Two: If the behavior continues, the counselor should remove the camper from the presence of others.
Ask the camper the reason for their unacceptable behavior and try to work together to create an appropriate
alternative.
Step Three: If situation has still not resolved in an acceptable manner, the counselor should ask for help from
a co-counselor or another counselor. With the camper, the counselor, and the new third counselor, review
the situation that occurred. Let the camper know the reason for the meeting. It is important that the camper
knows that this meeting is very out of the ordinary. Campers most always know this. Try to come up with
alternatives/solutions, without threatening.
Step Four: If disrespectful behavior continues in any way, the counselor next goes to a leader. The counselor,
leader, and camper will then meet to discuss the situation. Once there is a meeting with a leader, Sandy and
Will are informed and the parents are called.
Step Five: If the disrespectful behavior continues after meeting with a leader, the next step is for the counselor
and camper to meet with Sandy and/or Will. Changes for the behavior will be clearly stated to insure
complete understanding by the camper. Parents will be informed of this meeting.
Step Six: If the camper's behavior does not change significantly, there will be a second meeting with Sandy
and/or Will and the camper will probably be sent home. Parents will be informed of this and a departure time
will be established.

Waterfront Search and Rescue— Lost Swimmer Plan
1. If a buddy tag is left on the buddy board or if it is determined that there are a different number of tags on the
board than campers in the water, the Waterfront Director or the person in charge at the waterfront will blow
four short whistle blasts to signify that the water should be cleared.
2. The Waterfront Director or the person in charge of the waterfront shall tell the lookout person to get one of
the two horns out of the boat shed and run the upper loop around camp. While running the upper loop the
lookout should be blowing the horn. The upper loop consists of the camp road past Redwood, the Health
Center, the Office, Lodge 1, the Dining Halt, Lodge 2, Lodge 3, Lodge 4, Lodge 7, Lodge 5, the mail shed, the
frog pond field and back to the basketball court. A CIT/the lookout, or person designated by Waterfront
Director goes immediately to the Office and gets the clipboard/Sign-Out book, and runs to the Basketball
Court. After the runner finishes the upper loop, report back to the waterfront.
3. A second person, preferably not an LGT, will be instructed at the same time to get the other horn from the boat
shed and run the lower loop around camp. The lower loop consists of Hilltop, Motel, loel's Place, Cottage,
Lodge 6, the art barn, Lodge 8, Lodge 9, the tennis courts, the beach volleyball court,the softball field, the
upper soccer field, the lower soccer field, the archery range, the Leoj, and the campfire site. After the lower
loop is run, the runner should report back to the waterfront.
4. Upon hearing the horns, all members of the camp community will proceed as quickly as possible to the
basketball court. One of the camp nurses will immediately bring the AED to the waterfront and assist as
necessary. As they arrive, bunk counselors will get their campers seated in a line and will quickly count the
number of campers present from their bunk to determine if all campers are present. Some bunks will have
both/all counselors taking part in the search and rescue at the waterfront. A Leader or other available staff
member will count the number of campers if all the bunk's counselors are not available.
5. Will or Sandy will supervise the operation at the basketb'all court. He or she will take the clipboard and the
walkie-talkie from the office and be responsible for communicating with the Leader at the waterfront. It is
EXTREMELY important that the waterfront personnel are notified IMMEDIATELY once everyone is accounted for,
or it is determined which camper is missing.

6. lanet McGill or a camp Leader will take a walkie-talkie from the office and any cell phone to the waterfront and
be responsible for receiving messages from the basketball court and communicating them to the Waterfront
Director, or the person in charge of the Search and Rescue procedures.
7. While this is taking place, all staff members who are LGT certified will immediately assemble at the waterfront to
begin the Search and Rescue procedures. These procedures are to be led by the Waterfront Director or the
person in charge of the waterfront.
8. Once the horn is blown and the waterfront is emptied,the Waterfront Director will assign the first LGT to check
underneath the two floating rafts in third crib. The next two LGTs are instructed to check underneath the
docks. All remaining LGTs will line up at the first crib rope and wait for further instructions from the WSI in
charge. Search and Rescue will start differently if the missing person was checked into 3rd crib. During the
entire Search and Rescue the Waterfront Director will have a rescue tube and be standing on the dock between
second and third cribs. This is to ensure the maximum safety of the LGTs.
9. At the command of the waterfront director, the LGTs will begin walking through the water, (this will be different
if searching for missing person checked into 3�d crib) constantly scanning the bottom. Once the waterfront
director feels that they are deep enough, the LGTs will do surface dives to the bottom, swim three strokes, and
return to the surface. They should be scanning the bottom the entire time. All lifeguards should come up with
their hands above their heads. Once they have reached the surface, they will stroke back to the shallowest
person, and then take 2 additional strokes backwards. On the count of the waterfront director, the procedure
will continue:
a) All campers are accounted for at the basketball court; or
b) A victim is discovered—at which point the leader, or the LGT who discovers the victim (if the LGT is not
too tired), will attempt an American Red Cross rescue; or
c) It is determined that the camper missing at the basketball court is the same one who is missing at the
waterfront. If this is the case, the Yarmouth Rescue Squad will be called immediately by the Janet McGill
or a camp Leader at the waterfront, or if necessary by the office.
10. In the case of a potential neck and spinal injury, the most qualified lifeguards will initiate the procedures
outlined by the American Red Cross. If the lifeguard feels any hesitation about securing the victim to the
backboard, he or she should wait for the Yarmouth Rescue Squad to arrive. In this scenario, the victim should
remain immobilized in the water.
11.Once everyone is accounted for at the basketball court, the procedure will end and the waterfront director will
debrief campers and counselors at the basketball court.
12.This procedure will be revised, reviewed, and rehearsed at least once during staff orientation week, and twice
during the summer.

CAMP WINGATE�KIRKLAND TRANSPORTATION POLICY
Emergency Equipment/Forms
Every vehicle used to transport campers and staff should be equipped with a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and
emergency accessories including reflectors, maps, change for a pay phone. For trips outside the neighboring
towns of Barnstable, Brewster, Dennis and Yarmouth, the staff inember accompanying the group must carry
health forms for all passengers and a cell phone for emergency communication. A rental agreement or vehicle
registration, insurance information, vehicle safety maintenance checklist, and this sheet should be in the
vehicle at all times.
Vehicle Type/Capacity
Campers and staff should only be transported in vehicles designed to carry passengers. They are not
permitted to ride in the back of trucks except in an extreme emergency and when directed by appropriate staff
(i.e. fire evacuation.) Vehicles should carry only the number of passengers specified by the vehicle
manufacturer. There should be a seatbelt for each passenger. A staff inember (adult) must be present in each
vehicle. If traveling by bus, this is in addition to the driver. Extra staff and/or aides must be present for
campers with disabilities, based on ratios established for persons requiring additional assistance or
supervision. (See established camp ratios.)
Vehicle Safety Checks
Prior to transporting campers, the following must be checked:
_ lights _tires _ horn _windshield and wiper condition
_ brakes _ mirrors _ emergency warning systems
If any of these areas do not check out, either remedy the situation or do not take the vehicle. Report all
vehicle problems to Greg Gorman.
Pre Trip Checks Before Using Camp Vehicles
• Check all tires for tread wear and proper pressure.
• Check to see that the spare tire is in the vehicle and is in good condition with all necessary equipment
to make a tire change.
• Check to see that a fully equipped first aid kit is in the vehicle.
• Check the gas gauge and determine that all gauges, lights and equipment are functioning properly.
. Make sure lights, brakes, mirrors, horn, emergency flashers and windshield wipers all work.
• To get gas, ask the director for a credit card and bring back a receipt. When getting gas, the driver
should check lights, tires, windshield wipers, emergency flashers, horn, oil level and coolant level.
Problems should be referred to the Site Manager immediately.

r
Passenger Orientation
Passengers should be instructed in the following safety procedures prior to transporting:
. Passengers should remain seated at all times with hands and arms inside vehicle.
. Seatbelts should be fastened — one person per seatbelt.
. Noise level should be such as to not distract the driver. There should be no throwing of objects or
other disruptive behavior.
. Passengers should enter and leave the vehicle under the direction of a staff inember and/or driver. If
the vehicle makes an emergency stop, passengers should follow directions of staff member and/or
driver and use buddy system if leaving the vehicle.
Supervision Ratios
All camp trips with campers out of camp in a camp vehicle will have at least 2 counselors with the group.
For example, in a 15 passenger van, there could be up to 13 campers and 2 counselors, one of them driving.
In general, there should be a ratio of 1 to 8. Exceptions include short trips within the adjacent towns of
Yarmouth, Dennis, Barnstable and Brewster: for these short trips, there may be one driver for 10 campers if
circumstances are unusual and no other counselor is available. Otherwise, even for short trips there must be
an additional counselor in the van, in addition to the driver.
Driver Requirements
To transport campers or drive camp vehicles off the site, drivers must be 21 years of age and hold valid
vehicle operator's license for the size and type of camp vehicle, and have no moving violations for previous 18
months, verified by a background check through DMV.
Travel Procedures
Vehicles should be kept a safe distance apart if traveling together. It is not recommended that vehicles travel
by convoy. Drivers should pre-establish rest stops to check in with each other. All drivers shoultl have
maps, complete directions to destination, and appropriate telephone numbers. One driver should be
appointed lead driver. On any trip, stops should be made only at acceptable rest stops. After three continuous
hours, the vehicle must stop to rotate or rest drivers and rest the passengers. AII traffic laws of the state are
to be strictly obeyed when transporting campers and staff.
Behind The Wheel Training
If you are driving a vehicle that you normally do not drive, the camp director will evaluate and determine when
additional behind-the-wheel training is required before transporting persons or equipment. (Includes training
in vans, camp trucks, buses, and vehicles pulling trailers.)
Camper Behavior
In larger vehicles, behavior problems should always be the responsibility of adults or staff inembers other
than the driver. If the driver is the only staff inember available to handle disruptive behavior and verbal
corrections are not successful, he/she should pull off the road in a safe area. Follow established camp
discipline procedures.

Backing Up
Because you cannot see everything behind your vehicle, backing up is always dangerous. Avoitl backing up
whenever you can. When you park, try to park so you will be able to pull forward when you leave. When you
have to back, here are a few simple safety rules:
1. Look at your path.
2. Back slowly using your mirrors.
3. Back and turn toward the driver's side whenever possible.
4. Use a helper whenever possible.
Loading and Unloading Passengers
Load antl unload in areas that are free from vehicular traffic unless an emergency. The vehicle should be in
park with the emergency brake on and the motor turned off. Loading and unloading will take place in an
orderly fashion following directions from staff inember. Campers should be directed where to assemble after
unloading and kept under supervision of an adult.
Refueling
Always refuel before getting down to a quarter of a tank. The engine must be turned off to refuel. If
transporting campers, they are to remain in the vehicle. Do not allow unsupervised campers to leave the
vehicle for any reason.
Dealing with Passenger Illness
• Administer first aid as needed. Keep the camper comfortable.
• If you need to stop, try to do so in an authorized or designated area.
• Contact camp about the camper or return to camp as soon as possible and have the camper check in
with the Nurse.
Accident Procedures
If a counselor or staff member is in an automobile accident, with or without campers in the vehicle, the first
priority is to ensure the health and safety of all involved. If there are any injuries to the driver or passengers,
call 9-1-1 (of if no phone is available then find a witness and ask him/her to call for help.)
If the accident is serious, with any injuries or substantial tlamage to the vehicles, do not hesitate to call the
police. However, if it is a fender-bender with no injuries and limited damage, the driver can simply exchange
insurance information with the other driver. In any case, do not admit any liability—try to remain calm and
objective, while providing and requesting the required information.
Each camp vehicle is equipped with the following:
. First Aid Kit
• List of Emergency Procedures
• Emergency Phone Numbers
• Insurance Information
• Fire Extinguisher
• Reflectors
CAM P WINCATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAO YARM OUTH PORT, M A 02675
TEL• 888 .71 4 .2267 E-M AIL• HEYCQM PO CAM PWK.COM
The reflectors should be used if there is any risk of the accident causing a dangerous situation for other
drivers or for your passengers. In case of a fire in the vehicle, do not try using the fire extinguisher. Just
move yourself and all campers as far from the automobile as possible. Likewise, any injuries should be
treated by professional health care and emergency care providers, rather than with the provided first aid kit.
The first aid kit is provided for minor injuries sustained out of camp, such as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, etc.
As soon as the situation is under control, call the camp at 508-362-3798 or Sandy & Will at 508-362-3799
and let us know exactly what happened, how everybody is, and what future actions are likely to be taken. If
possible, we will have a member of the Leadership Team or maintenance crew come to the site of the
accident.
Dealing with Vehicular Breakdown
1. Move off the road as far as possible. It's better to drive on a flat tire than park in an unsafe place.
2. Place the transmission in low, reverse or park. Turn off ignition and remove key.
3. Set the emergency brake.
4. Turn on the emergency/hazard blinking lights.
5. If vehicle must stop in nondesignated parking area (ie., the side of the road), carry reflective
triangles between yourself and the oncoming traffic when placing reflectors in the following places:
a. On the traffic side of the vehicle, within ten feet of the front or rear corners.
b. About 100 ft. behind and ahead of the vehicle, upon the shoulder of the lane you are stopped
in.
c. Back beyond any hill, curve, or other obstruction that prevents other drivers from seeing the
vehicle within 500 feet.
d. If stopped on or by a oneway or divided highway, place warning devices 20 feet, 100 feet, and
200 feet toward the approaching traffic.
6. If safe to do so, unload passengers and move them well off the roadway away from the vehicle.
Make sure campers are supervised at all times by an adult. If evacuation from a bus is necessary,
follow established procedures and directions of the staff inember.
7. Contact camp with information about nature of the breakdown and your exact location. Additional
help may be requested if needed. One staff inember must stay with the vehicle and campers.
Tips for Driving the Camp Vans
1. There is an enormous blind spot in the rear view mirror. With children in the van, the rear view �
mirror becomes even less useful. Use of the side view mirrors is essential to safe driving. Both ,
mirrors need adjustment before each trip—take the time to do this. I
2. A van is heavier in the front than in the back. Therefore, when driving in the rain, the rear section �,
may hydroplane or skid. Extreme caution and slow speed minimizes this possibility. �'�
3. A van is not as controllable as a car. A van corners poorly, so extra caution should be used on
entry and exit ramps.
4. When passengers are entering or leaving the vehicle, it should be in park and the engine should be
off.

Health Forms and Camp Trips
For Challenge trips, copies of health forms will be in the First Aid kit which accompany each trip. Any trip out
of Camp, whether by car or foot, that is in the town of Yarmouth, or the nearby towns of Barnstable, Brewster
or Dennis do not require health forms. All other trips require them. On all trips out of camp, a minimum of 2
staff inembers must be present, one of whom may be a CIT. All boating trips, no matter what town, require
health forms.

Carbon Monoxide Evacuation Plan
When we run the Search and Rescue drill within the first 48 hours of each Camp session, the Carbon Monoxide
Evacuation procedure is reviewed with the campers and staff.
1. If a Carbon Monoxide detector activates, campers and staff should evacuate the building immediately.
2. The counselor in charge should immediately call the Camp office (after hours this phone rings in Sandy &Will's
house).
3. As soon as Carbon Monoxide is reported to the office or to Sandy &Will, someone there should call the
Yarmouth Fire Department and report it. Give directions to Camp if needed and information about the
location.
4. At least one person should go to the Camp entrance at Linnell Lane to help guide the fire truck to the building
in question.
5. A second person should be assigned to go to the location and do as much as possible to keep the campers
away, without risking his/her own safety.
6. No one should enter the building until the Yarmouth Fire Department gives the approval that it is safe to return
inside.

CAMP WINGATE�KIRKLAND WATERFRONT DIRECTOR
� The Camp Wingate*Kirkland Waterfront during the 2012 summer will be under the direction of Erica Davidow &
Marissa Diaz. Erica and Marissa are both certified in Water Safety Instruction, Lifeguard Guard and CPR.
The Waterfront Director is responsible for planning, directing and supervising the Camp's waterfront program. The
number one goal of the Waterfront Director, at all times, and regardless of any other demands on his or her time, is
the safety of every camper and staff inember in relation to waterfront activities. The importance of this primary goal
cannot be emphasized enough.
Other responsibilities include helping the winter staff with recruitment and training of waterfront staff, teaching
waterfront staff their responsibilities for the summer regarding instruction and general swim times; teach staff and
campers the rules and regulations of the waterfront including the use of the Buddy Board; teach staff and campers, by
lecture and demonstration, the Camp's emergency procedures; teach staff and campers the proper use of waterfront
equipment including life preservers and boats; check all waterfront equipment daily for safety, cleanliness and good
repai r.
In addition, the Waterfront Director is has overall responsibility to set up and oversee the instructional swim program
at the Camp. This includes the initial placement within 24 hours of campers' arrival, assigning swim groups and
instructors, keeping records on progress and recognizing achievements publicly. In atltlition, the Waterfront Director
is responsible for the development and evaluation of the aquatic teaching abilities of the waterfront staff.
In addition the Waterfront Director is responsible to be familiar with all ACA Standards that relate to the aquatic
activities, both in and out of Camp, and to make sure we are in compliance at all times with each Standard. If the
Camp is not in compliance, the Waterfront Director's responsibility is to remedy the situation immediately or to inform
the Camp directors right away.
The waterfront is especially risky during general swim times and the Waterfront Director is responsible to follow all
waterfront regulations to ensure camper and staff safety. If at any time, the Waterfront Director feels that there is
inadequate supervision or faulty procedures, he or she should immediately consult with the Camp Directors.
The Waterfront Director is responsible for ensuring that the waterfront area is neat and clean at all times. Given the
high risk in the waterfront area, it is vital to have a neat waterfront to project an image of order and safety. The
waterfront should be clean and organized before closing it each day. This includes the docks, boats, boathouse
supplies and anything else found in the waterfront. Any environmental or other hazards should always be eliminated
immetliately or managed according to agreed upon procedures.
The Waterfront Director reports to Sandy &Will Rubenstein, Camp Directors.
