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. CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888.714.�267 E-MAIL: NEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM ■ 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.

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 and 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 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. Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.) In the event that we can predict the possibility of a natural disaster, IMII and Sandy will assign a Leader to stay tuned to local media outlets. If the community is advised by local authorities to evacuate the area, the Camp will do so immediately. CAMP WINCATE*KIRKLQND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YQRMOUTH PORT, MQ OP675 TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MAII: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM 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 your head � 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.

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.

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 Hall, 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, Joel'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 basketball 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. CQMP WINCATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888.714.2267 E—MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM 6. Janet 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 3rd 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 lanet 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.

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. CAMP WINCATE*KIRKIAND 79 WHITE flOCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888J14.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM • 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. 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 member 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 should 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. All 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 CAMP WINCQTE*KIRKLANO 79 WHITE ROCK ROAD YARMOUTH PORT, MQ 02675 TEL: 888.714.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM In larger vehicles, behavior problems should always be the responsibility of adults or staff members other than the driver. If the driver is the only staff member 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. Avoid 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 and 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 member. 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 damage 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 CAMP WINCQTE*KIRKLQND 79 WNITE ROCK ROQD YQRMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888.714.��67 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM • Emergency Phone Numbers • Insurance Information • Fire Extinguisher • Reflectors 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 member. 7. Contact camp with information about nature of the breakdown and your exact location. Additional help may be requested if needed. One staff member 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. 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. CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROAO YARMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888.714.2�67 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM 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 � members must be present, one of whom may be a CIT. All boating trips, no matter what town, require health forms. � � CAMP WINCATE*KIRKLQND 79 WHITE ROCK ROQD YQRMOUTH PORT, MA 02675 TEL: 888.714.�P67 E-MAIL: HEYCAMPOCAMPWK.COM �� � , ;�;�„� � �t��"f �``� � � ��� � ���� ���"' ` � � ���� �� CAMP WINGATE * KIRKLAND WATERFRONT DIRECTOR � The Camp Wingate*Kirkland Waterfront during the 2016 summer will be under the direction of Jenny Murran. Jenny is 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 member 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 repair. 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 addition,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 immediately or managed according to agreed upon procedures. The Waterfront Director reports to Sandy&Will Rubenstein, Camp Directors.

Sexual harassment is "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors,slurs,jokes and othe�verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature." It becomes unlawful when: 1. Submission to such conduct is explicitly or implicitly a condition of an individual's employment; or 2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct affects the employee's job or substantially interferes with an individual's job performance;or 3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating,hostile or offensive work environment. Because Camp takes allegations of sexual harassment seriously,we will respond promptly to complaints of sexual harassment and where it is determined that such inappropriate behavior has occurred,we will act promptly to eliminate the conduct and impose such corrective action as is necessary,including disciplinary action or termination of the harasser where appropriate. If sexual harassment is perceived by an employee, he or she should follow the following procedure: 1. Speak to Sandy or Will Rubenstein, Directors of Camp Wingate*Kirkland. : 2. Make it clear to the harasser that you do not approve of his or her behavior or comments, and ask that it stop immediately. Studies have shown that in the majority of cases,the harasser was unaware that his or her conduct was offensive. 3, If the undesirable behavior continues, keep a written record of the behavior,including dates,times, details and witnesses. 4. Sandy and/or Will will promptly conduct an investigation of the charges,exerting their best efforts to maintain the ` complainant's confidentiality. Depending on the evidence,Sandy or Will will discuss#he complaint with the staff member(s). If a pattern of frequent offensive behavior is verified,offenders will be subject to disciplinary actions up to and including immediate termination. 5. There will be no retaliatory action taken against an employee who in all good faith makes a report of sexual harassment.

You can't always prevent coverage, but you can lessen the negative impact by responding quickly and honestly. In general: . Respect deadlines. If you can't speak to a reporter, ask what the deadline is and make sure you call him/her back. . Don't be confrontational. Stay calm and in control at all times. . Don't arouse media suspicion by saying "no comment" or refusing to return calls. . Communicate what you know and tell reporters what you don't know. When interviewed: . Stick with the key points. . Never lie; be truthful and cooperative. . Don't speculate; stay with the facts. . Be careful of leading questions. ' . Never go "off the record". There really is no such thing; anything you say can be quoted. . If you can't discuss certain details, explain why. When dealing with television crews: . If your camp is on private property and you're in the middle of an emergency, you can ask them to leave. Remember to calmly explain why and be polite. Plan a time to call them later. . If you feel forced into an on-camera interview, ask if you can talk to the reporter off camera first. Use this time to explain the situation calmly and try to set parameters for the interview. . Remember that television works with 10-20 second sound bytes, so prepare your key points in short statements that fit this format.

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. Per the Prohibitions Stated in CMR 430.191 b, Camp Wingate*Kirkland strongly enforces staff shall not: • No corporal punishment, no hitting of any kind. • No cruel punishment, verbal abuse or humiliation • No denial of food or shelter. • No punishment for wetting the bed f �A�Kp ..� � `��� �� � �r�TF :�� ,'� �� � ��.►� � � �� CAMP WINGATE * KIRKLAND LADDER OF DISCIPLINE 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.

The waterfront is completely off-limits unless a person or persons with WSI, LGT, CPR and first aid certifications is/are present and the waterfront gate is open. 2. Campers must only enter the waterfront area through the main gate. 3. No camper can enter the water for any purpose unless a lookout is present and attentive in the lookout tower. 4. All campers will be tested on the first day of programming to determine his/her swimming ability. This placement is only to be done by certified WSIs. 5. Every camper will, after crib placement, have a buddy tag with his/her name, bunk, crib placement and boating designations on it. Before entering the water for any reason, a camper must hand his/her buddy tag to a staff member who will place the tag on the active buddy board. This is to let the lifeguards determine how many people are supposed to be in the water at any given time. Upon exiting the water, campers will ask a counselor to remove his/her buddy tag from the active buddy board. Campers do not remove their own tags. This procedure applies for all aquatic activities — including swimming, boating, nature and any other `activities being done on the waterfront — during both instructional and general swim times. 6. The waterfront should close immediately at the first sign of thunder or lightning.

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 Hall, 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, Joel'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 basketball 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. CAMP WINGATE*KIRKLAND 79 WHITE ROCK ROQO YAHMOUTH PORT, MQ 02675 TEL• 888.714.2267 E-MAIL: HEYCAMP�CQMPWK.COM 6. Janet 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 3�d 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 3rd 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.

Jason is certified in Water Safety Instruction, Life Guard Instructor, 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 ever cam er and staff member in relation to waterfront activities. The im ortance of this rimar oal cannot be Y P p P Y9 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 repair.

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 immediately or managed according to agreed upon procedures. The Waterfront Director reports to Sandy&Will Rubenstein, Camp Directors.

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 and end up at the basketball court (or alternate location de endin on the location of th ' p g e fire). In addition, someone will be instructed to continuousl rin the bell at Y 9 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 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. Natural Disasters (Flood, Lightning, Wildfire, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.) ln 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 advised by local authorities to evacuate the area, the Camp will do so immediately.

Any campers or staff who refuse to participate in crib placement will automatically be classified as a "non swimmer," and may not participate in waterfront activities with or without a PFD. Swim tests at Camp W*K are comprised of three distinct components. The first, crib placement,tests � swimmers endurance. Swimmers must demonstrate their ability to swim long distances and perform essential life saving techniques, including treading water and the survival float. Swimmers are then classified based on their abilities into either first, second, or third crib. Crib placements are recorded by the staff member performing the assessment, and written on the campers "buddy tag" for easy identification. Only third crib swimmers may participate in boating activities. ,-,�, , �.����> ' The second component of the assessment tests swimmers competency level in various different strokes. Swimmers are assessed and then classified by level pursuant to Red Cross standards outlined in the Red Cross water safety instructor's manual. All crib plaeements, Red Cross-swimming levels, and PFD sizes will be recorded by the WSI's performing the assessment, which will then be compiled into a master list by the waterfront director. Copies of this list will be kept on file, with the waterfront staff, and in the boat shed at the waterfront, to be used as needed by staff. For aquatics activities run outside of camp, a complete list of participants with their swim skill level must be included with the group. When the group arrives on-site a counselor on duty must assess location for safety and environmental hazards and risks. There must be a certified life guard present. There must be no more than 10 campers swimming per counselor on duty. If there are more than 10 campers swimming, use a buddy system with checks. If there is an emergency, follow normal out-of-camp emergency procedures. Any campers or staff classified as "at risk swimmers" must wear a PFD for aquatics activities outside of Camp.

The law and regutations only apply to swirnming or diving areas at marine or freshwater beaches and explicitly exclude swi.mming pools,wading poals,and other artificial bodies of water. In addition,the Department is issuing this guidance document to support complianee with the regulation,ta provide associated best practiees and to help assist municipal and recreational programs and carnps implementing provisions of the regulation. According to M.G.L. c. 111, §127A%,all municipal and recreational programs and Iicensed cat�nps must: 1) Determine each minor's swimming ability prriar to allowing participatioz�in swimming aot�vities; 2) Make ava,ilable properly sized and snug fittuig Type I,II,or III personal flotation dev�ces(PFD) to a11 minor cbiildren who have been determined to be a non-swimmer or at-risk swimmer; and 3) Accept a PFD provided by a parent or guardian of a rainor for the rtunor tu use while in attendance at the program or camp. Swim Abilitv Determin�tion: Ghristian's Law, in part,rec�uiz�es that municipal and recreational programs and licensed caznps determine each participating minor's swinuning ability,privr to or at the first swimming session, in order to identi�'y and classify non-swirtuners aud at-risk swimmers. If municipal and z�creation.al programs and licensed camps determine that , all participants are assumed to be non-swimmers, and ensure properly fitting PFDs are available to a11 zxunors engaged in swimming activities wi.thin areas classified for non-sw�xr�mers,then swi.m tests are not required. • Based on input from water safety professionals,individuals whQ do not meet criteria for a R�d Czoss Level 3 swim rating or a YMCA Minnow shall be classified as a"non-swimmez"and individuals w�.o may or may not Yzave met the critexaa foz a Red Cross Level 3 swixn rating or the YMCA Minnow,but have been determined to have a physical,psychalogical,medical,or cognitive disability that cautd negatively irr��act his or her swimming ability, shall be classified as an"at-risk swimmex". • All minors, including progra�m or camp participants, staff,voluuteers, and Counselors in Train�ing(CI'I�, need to be swim tested, at a minimum once per sunamer,to deterniine swimming ability. • In accordance with the regulations,swim tests shall be conducted ar overseen by a trained Certified Swim Instructor(CSI�that holds approgriate certifieat�ans from a nationally recognized svv�m instructor program, such as the Aznerican Red Czoss(ARC}or the YMCA, o�r a�a eqtuvalent certificate,as determined by the � Departcnent. A lxfeguazd rnaintaining current requirements as outlined in the regulations may also conduct ' swim tests as a Swim Assessor if they have previously observed one and participated in one annual swim test trainin�conducted hy a CSI. • Swim testing needs ta be conducted at the same vr a camparable location to w}aere the swimmin.g activities will occur unless the municipal and recreational pragram or licensed camp p�rovzdes ded'zcated Xx�egua�rds at the marine of freshwater beach where swimming wi��occur, in whieh case swim testing may be conducted at a swimnrii�n.g paol priar to the s��rimming activities. • Swim tests must be conducted under close supervision and without the use af a PFD. If a parent or guardian provides a PFD for their child,the muzxicipal and recreation program ar licensed camp should confirm witk�the parent or guardian,priar to any swim testing,that this testing will be conducted without the use af the P�D. • The Deparhnent has crea.ted the"Srvim and Fit Test Model Documentadon Form"as an optian for the operators to document and track swim testing an.d PFD fit tests.Th�form provides for indi.vidua.�ized documenfiation for each minor being�wijn and fit tested?ar who has been provided a PFD from a parent or guardian,and xs available an the Department's website. Xdenti�vinE Non-Swimmers and At-Risk Swimmers Non-swimmers and at-risk swi.mm�rs n�ed ta be identifzed wk�enever they are at a swimming or diving area,in accordance with 105 CNIR.432.400(A)(8}. Below are several e�amples of how municipal and recreational prograrns or licensed camps may choase to accornplish this: • Providing colored wrist bands that are not easily transferred between each child to identify their swimming ability;or • Pzaviding non-toxic,waterproof,temporary tattoos with U.S. Food 8i Drug Administration(FDA) certification for dyes/colorants and compliance witk�Consumer Product and Safety Commission(CPSC} and America.� Society of Testing Materials(ASTM)requirements; o Temporary tattoos that are digitally printed(with computer inks) on temporary tattoo trausfer papex and Henna-based temporary tattoas should not be used; oz • Any other methad including swi.m markers designed with FDA compliarit,toxic-fre�cosmetic ingredients which allows for an easy identification ta differez�txate between non-swimmers,at-risk swimmers and other classifted swiznmers; o Alcohol-based skin ink hand stamps should not be used. The identification process should be clearly o�tlined a�nd documented in the municipal and recreational program ar licensed camp's pvlieies and pracedures. Conf nement to Dedicated Swimmin�Areas Christian's Law requires municipal and recreational progza�nns and licensed camps to ensure all participants, including non-swi.nnmers and at-risk swimmers that are either determined through a swirn test or designated as �uch lay the program or cazzlp operator, as we��as minors whose parents or guardians have provided a PFD for their ch�ld,be confined to swimming areas consistent with the limits of their s«rirr�ming skills or to svuimnLing areas requiring lesser skills than those for which they have b�n classified. All swimming areas sha111ae permitted and meet the requirernents of regulation ].OS CMR 445A00: Mi.nimum Standards far Bathin�Beaches (State Sazaitax'y Code,Chapter Vii). • In order to praperly identify confinement areas at the swimming site,the Department suggests that the municipal and recreational program or licensed camp operator create a waterfront site plan for identification and training purposes.
