Causes reasonable fear of harm to the other individual or their property. Creates a hostile environment in which the bullying causes the program to be permeated with intimidation,ridicule or insult that is sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter or inhibit the individual's participation Materially and substantially disrupts the operation of the program Serves to retaliate against those who report or witness incidences of bullying. Bullying,as defi�ed above,is strictly prohibited by the Yarmouth Parks and Recreation Division and the Fiax Pond Adventure Program.Incidences of bullying that are reported to the staff will be fully addressed in a timely manner with consequences following the established participant discipline policy.In dealing with issues of bullying the staff will seek to employ conflict resolution,mediation,parent conferences,and other related tools to facilitate the best outcome for all participants involved. ProAressive Disciqline Plan Stea One:Counselors are treined to set clear boundaries and reinforce those boundaries with the children in their group. If a child continues to test those boundaries the counselors are instructed to bring the child to the office. There they will Meet with one of the Flax Pond Administrators who will reinforce appropriate behavior standards and file a written note regarding the incident. Step Two:If the child is returned to the office the Flax Pond Administretor will once again meet with the child and develop a behavioral contract with clear consequences for future positive and negative behaviors. Both the counselor and the child will sign the contract and a copy will be sent home for the parents to review. It is at this point that we encourege the parents to contact the staff at Flax Pond so that we can discuss the history of the incidents and develop a plan of action together for the future.It should be clearly understood that if the child continues to act out suspension and or expulsion from the program will be the next step. Step Three:If your child is brought once more to the office for inappropriate behavior then you will be called at work or home and asked to come and remove your child from the program immediately. That removal may be for one day or permanently based on the incidents in question.The Recreation Director or representative will be present at the meeting to discuss the history with you as well as any future plan of action.Any appeal for a modified action plan can be made at this time. The decisions made mutually between all adult parties involved will be the finai plan of action for this child.

This iilcludes trips to the batluoom or changing rooms, such trips must include either more than one adult, or the veiy least another child. This does not mean that you can't take a child aside for a brief confidential discussion aUout their behavior or some matter that they have aslced to discuss with you. It does mean that such a meeting should ideally take place in view of other people, if even from a distance. • Use good jud�llent about physical closeness. Avoid contact that may be misinteipreted. This does not nlean that you can't give a camper a pat on the back or touch their ann to get their attention. i • Use discretion when monitoring the changing rooms; �lease use the stalls to get changed. Use discretion when children are changing clothes. Don't stand and watch; but don't leave the changing rooms unattended and go somewhere else—you inust remain withiii earshot and ' outside the door. • Use words with care. Never Uerate, intimidate, harass, or belittle a camper. • Be constantly aware of your responsibilities and position as role models. Reporting Procedures • The Flax Pond Coordinators will re�ort cases of suspected abuse to the Recreation Director, who will evaluate the situation and make the appropriate re�orts to the designated official offices. • If the camper seems to have severe injuries, he or she will be taken to the nearest hospital or health facility for appropriate medical treatment. • In the event that there is an accusation against a staff inember of child abuse the Flax Pro�-am will take prompt and immediate action as follows: - At the first report of a probable belief that a child-abuse incident has occui-red, the einployed staff�erson receiving the report will notify the Flax Pond Coordinatars, who will then review the incident with the Recreation Director. - The Flax Pond Adventure Program will malce a report in accordance with relevant state or local child abuse reporting requirements and will coo�erate to the extent of the law with any legal authority iilvolved. - If the reported incident(s) involve a program volunteer or employed staff, the Recreation Director will, without exception, suspend the volunteer or staff person from the�rogram. The pareilts or legal guardian of the child(ren) involved in the alleged incident will be prom�tly notified in accordance with the directions of the relevant state or local agency. = Reinstatement of the employed staff person will occur only after all allegations have been cleared to the satisfaction of the Recreation Director. All staff and volunteers must be sensitive to the need for confidentiality in the handling of this infoi-�nation and therefore, should only discuss the incident with Flax Pond Coordinators or Recreation Director. Page 33 ��rin� �t�r� �'he ��1�1r+e� Section 7 The Task and Role of the Counselor When you became a Flax Pond counselor you accepted one of the �eatest responsibilities there is in life. You will be enti-usted with the health, well-being and education of these young people. Your role will be complex. You will be teacher, friend, disciplinarian, inentor, coach and protector to each of thein in tun� and, sometiines, to all at once. The unit and b oup is a family and the pro�am is a conullunity. Parents' willingness to place the life, limb and spirit of their child in the sole care of Flax Pond and its counselors is an expression of trust that you as a counselor must accept with reverence. The taslc of incoi-�orating Flax's philosophy and objectives in each child's camp experience rests almost coinpletely with you. To do this you inust accept the children as you find them and recogilize their worth as individuals. The ineasure of the success of our cam�ing program is not in what we do, but in how we affect the lives of our campers. , Being a sensitive, effective counselar is more art than science. If you approach your job with a tiue love for lcids, a firm sense of responsibility, a willingness to worlc hard and a comminnent that will allow you to accept nothing but the best from yourself, then you will have the job you have undertaken well Uegun.

Do not just send the child to the office since these visits are considered very serious. General Discipline Guidelines: 1. The counselor who saw the incident occur should bring the child to the office, not some other counselor in the unit. 2. Use discipline office visits sparingly, since the consequences are severe 3. Time outs should be the inain consequence for negative Uehaviors 3. Tiy to stress positive reinforcement, over punishinent as much as possiUle! ` Page 36 The discipline guidelines that all parents/guardians are given prior to attending Fla�... TOVVN OF YARMOUTH PARTICIPANT DISCIPLINE Due to increased discipline challenges during the past few summers it l�as become necessaiy for the Recreation Division to develop a graduated discipline policy for our proa ains. It is our hope that by involving the parents in the process we will be able to curtail the negative behavior before a one day suspension or ultiinate expulsion is necessaiy. If any child is suspended/expelled from the promam due to disciplinaiy infractions the parent will have already been involved in the discussion. The Town will not be refunding any unused portion of the registration fee. Tluee major consequences exist as responses to negative child behavior: 1) appropriate disciplinaiy action as chosen by the counselor, 2) child meets with the Flax Pond Administration and develops a behavioral contract as well as oral and/or written notification of the meeting to the parent/guardian, and lastly, 3) a meeting with the Recreation Pro�•ain Supeivisor, Flax Pond Coordinator, child and parent. BEHAVIORAL INFRACTIONS 1.

Cell phones are not allowed on camp property. New teclulologies in these devises could lead to poor choices by the canier which would adversely effect dle privacy and comfort of other children.

Verbal Abuse/Inappropriate Lan�uage: Cursing, swearing, and aggressive verbal attacks toward others will not be tolerated. Page 37 6. Destruction to Pronerty: Willful destruction of the natural enviromnent as well as propei-ty aild buildings will Ue cause for suspension/expulsion froin the program. 7.

Theft of Property and/or Other's Belongin�s: Talcing propei-ty that does not belong to you will not be tolerated. ...................................................................................................................�- Pro�essive Discipline Plan. Step One: Counselors are trained to set clear boundaries and reinforce those boundaries with ; tlie children in their moup. If a child continues to test tl�ose boundaries the � counselors are insti-ucted to bring the child to the office. There they will meet with � one of the Flax Pond Administrators who will reinforce appropriate behavior standards and file a written note regarding the incident. Step Two: If the child is retui-ned to the office the Flax Pond Administrator will once again meet with the child and develop a behavioral contract with clear consequences for future positive and negative bellaviors. Both the counselor and the child will sign the contract and a copy will Ue sent home for the parents to review. It is at this point that we encourage the parents to contact the staff at Flax Pond so that we can discuss the histoiy of the incidents and develop a plan of action together for the future. It should be clearly understood that if the child continues to act out suspension and or expulsion from the program will be the next step. Ste Tp liree: If your child is brought once more to the office for inappropriate behavior then you will be called at worlc or home and aslced to come and remove your child from the program immediately. That removal may be for one day or permanently based on the incidents in question.

Fire Safety Policy Introduction Flax Pond is located on 100 acres of woodlands which include Yarmouth Conservation land. It is important that extreme care be taken in the use of fire,both on property and on overnight trips. Fire Safety Strategies • The property is inspected by a Qualified Fire Inspector every year as per Massachusetts statute. • Portable fire extinguishers are kept in every building and checked for appropriate pressure, tagged, and dated every year. ' • Smoke detectors are mounted in every building. Batteries are replaced at the beginning of the program season. • During the staff training week, staff inembers are apprised of the location and proper use of the fire extinguishing equipment that is available on site, including fire extinguishers and water hoses. • A fire drill will be practiced within 48 hours of the start of each session and it will be noted in the Flax Pond Coordinator's log. Fire Prevention Strategies • Flax Pond is a non-smoking facility. • Flammable materials and fuels are kept locked in non-camper-occupied buildings and are only accessible by staff. • Only designated campfire pits and grills may be used for fires. Fire Prevention Rules • Always clear an adequate area around any campfire and be sure that the fire is watched at all times. Never leave a fire unattended. A water source should be readily available to extinguish ar j control the fire. Always be certain that campfires are completely extinguished. i r � � Page 20 �'i • Children are not allowed to have or carry matches or lighters. Counselors should keep matches C out of sight when not being used. � •Never throw away lit materials without being certain that they are completely out. ; Fire Emergency Procedure Staff Duties and Responsibilities • Upon suspicion or discovery of a fire, the staff inember in charge should clear campers quickly and safely out of the immediate area. If available, one staff inember should accompany the campers to a safe location. • A staff inember is immediately dispatched to locate the closest fire extinguishing device and bring it back if appropriate. • A staff inember should either be dispatched to notify the Flax Pond Coordinators and � Health and Safety Supervisor of the severity of the situation, or if accessible use a radio to � contact the Flax Pond Coordinators. • Staff inembers should use available and appropriate equipment to fight the fire but should not i place themselves in danger in this effort. ' • Available nearby staff will take steps to help prevent the spread of the fire and be especially careful of flammable fluids, gasoline, and so on. When in doubt of your ability to contain a fire, leave! • The Flax Pond Coordinator or the most senic�r staff inember on duty will make the decision whether to invoke the all camp evacuation procedure or"Lost Camper Drill" or not. Weather Emergency Procedures ' Notification The Flax Pond Coordinators will periodically monitor local weather conditions via television, radio, or Internet. Tornado or Severe Winds ' In the event of a weather emergency(tornado,hurricane, or severe damaging wind) campers and ' staff will go immediately to their respective nation areas, or if little warning, to the nearest shelter. The following steps shall be taken: • Remain calm. • Keep away from doors and windows. • Lie on the floor, cover children with back packs and coats. Hail Large hail can impact a surface at speeds greater than 100 miles per hour. Move inside to avoid getting hit. Hailstones driven by a storm's high winds can shatter windows; follow the steps t a dan erous storm ar wind. Hail can also be a si al tha above for protection from severe gn g tornado is imminent. ' Lightning All thunderstorms produce lightning,by definition. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough � to the storm to be struck. It need not be raining for lightning to strike. Lightning can strike as far ' as ten miles away from the rain portion of a storm. The following steps shall be taken: � i 1 ; Page 21 • Remain calm. • All boats will be called in immediately and swimmers pulled out of the water. • Move inside. Stay away from doors and windows. • Do not stand in an open field, on the beach,under an isolated tree,basketball hoop or near the flagpole. • In the woods, proceed immediately back to unit areas. • If thunder is heard in the distance or lightning is seen the Flax Pond Coordinator will make an announcement over the PA and radios to move indoors. • No children or staff will be allowed to leave the buildinss for any reason until clearance is given from the Flax Pond Coordinator,this includes bathroom trips. • Outdoor activities will resume if there is no sign of lightning or thunder for over 20 minutes. ' Extreme Heat ' On hot days when the temperature is above 90 degrees F, and the relative humidity is high, ', evaparation slows. The body becomes unable to shed heat through its normal methods of circulatory changes and sweating. To prevent heat disorders: • Slow down. • Drink plenty of water. • Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Stay out of the sun. Heat exhaustion symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, and cold skin. Heatstroke symptoms include hot dry skin and rapid pulse. Move to a cooler environment, and get immediate medical help. Lost Camper Emergency Procedures • A staff inember shall report a missing camper immediately to the Flax Pond Coordinators, or if absent, the Health and Safety Supervisor. The Coordinators will assess how long the camper has been missing and will respond appropriately, according to these steps: , � • The siren will sound over the PA system. All counselors will gather their groups and do a head count. Team leaders should listen to their radios for further instructions. All groups should head to the Field in lines. If at Waterfront, children only need to put their shoes on. The children should remain silent in case further directions need to be given. • The Flax Coordinators will assign staff to check all buildings and program areas. This search is limited to 5 minutes. (Please See Primary Search Duties) • Two staff inembers will be assigned to drive a vehicle slowly down the main Flax road, and both left and right one mile on White's Path. i • If the missing camper is not yet found, a secondary search will be initiated and designated staff I will proceed as instructed.

Reasons why the camp inight be evacuated could include: • A power failure of ma�iitude or duration that leaves tlle children at rislc. • A health crisis that is deemed uncontrollable. • Pending stonils of si�lificant status. General Preparedness Evacuation of a full camp during summer session is a serious decision, made only as a last resort. Nevertheless, Flax Pond will remain prepared for such an emergency by: l. Maintaining a list of all staff with cell phones, to be used in case land lines fail or are overloaded. 2. Maintaining a list of com�anies that provide bus transportation. 3. Having up-to-date phone numbers and emergency numbers for all minors on property. This is not an extra preparedness step; the existing Health Foi7ns the cainp maintains are sufficient. 4. Calls to�arents notifying them will be inade if possible. A message will be put on the Flax Pond answering inachine as well as the answering service at the Recreation Division. Once the Decision to Evacuate is Made • The "Lost Camper Siren" will blast tluee times, to sib 1a1 the start of the process. • All children and staff will meet on the large Uall field unless other wise instructed. Details aUout the evacuation process will be given here. • The Health and Safety Supervisor, the camp's consultation doctor and Health Department will be consulted in the event of a health crisis. The Evacuation Process • If the crisis occurs during a summer camp session... - The Flax Pond Coordinators, Assistant Recreation Director, and Recreation Director will consult and decide to what extent, if any, the off-site trips will be included in the evacuation.
