Behavior Management

Unless immediate dismissal is required, the Summit Math and Code Camp follows a three-strike policy:

1. Strike One – verbal warning and parent notification;

2. Strike Two – camper sent home for the day and conference with the Camp Director;

3. Strike Three – conference with Camp Director(s) and possible removal from camp.

Note that camp administration may skip steps based on severity.
