ELECTRONICS Cell phones and other electronics are not permitted during camp. If a child brings a phone, it must be checked in with a coach at drop-off and will be returned at pick-up. BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS Our goal is to create a caring community where every camper makes friends, has fun, and leaves with wonderful memories. All campers are expected to: *Follow coach directions. *Treat everyone with kindness and respect. *Help create a safe and positive environment. At Playformance, we have two guiding principles: 1. We PLAY to have FUN! 2. We take CARE of the PEOPLE! If a camper struggles with behavior, our coaches will work with them using positive support strategies. If additional support is needed, we’ll contact a caregiver to discuss next steps. If behavior continues to create an unsafe environment, a camper may be sent home for the remainder of the day. No refunds will be issued. Before returning to camp, a phone or in-person meeting with a caregiver may be required. Aggressive or violent words or actions toward campers or staff will not be tolerated and may result in immediate dismissal for the day. We believe every child can succeed at Playformance, and we are committed to helping each camper have a positive experience. If you’d like to discuss your child’s needs or camp experience, please schedule a conversation before or after camp—not during drop-off or pick-up.
