• First Instance - Learning moment: The staff member who witnesses the inappropriate behavior takes the opportunity to explain why the behavior is not appropriate for Camp. 
• Second Instance - Verbal warning: If the same or similar behavior happens again, the camper is then warned that their behavior is unacceptable and that they will need to take a break if the behavior persists.
• Third Instance -  Take a break: If student behavior persists after a verbal warning the participant will be required to take a break from the activity or until they are able to conduct themselves in a safe, non-disruptive way.
