Camp SAM and Camp SAM maintain a strict policy regarding the release of campers: All parents must show appropriate photo identification when picking up your child every day.

Buddy System Procedure

To promote safety, Camp SAM and Camp GLAM uses the Buddy System daily. Every morning, campers will pair up with a buddy who will escort them to the bathroom, water fountain, EMT area, or any other time a camper must leave their group. Buddy checks will be conducted throughout the day. In addition to ensuring safety, the Buddy System also encourages the development of friendships and camaraderie among campers.

Behavior Policy

All members of Camp SAM or Camp GLAM are expected to behave appropriately at all times. Our staff will encourage problem solving and teach conflict resolution skills so that children can learn to deal with adversity in a positive manner. We will also encourage self-control, self-direction, responsibility, and cooperation. We expect each camper to be a team player, to respect him/herself, fellow campers, as well as all camp and personal property.

Our goal is to minimize discipline issues in order for our campers to better monitor themselves. Bullying will not be tolerated at Camp SAM or Camp GLAM, and will be addressed immediately. If any type of inappropriate behavior, foul language, or use of threats/fights occur, we have a 3-strike system in place to help deter the negative behavior. After a camper receives 3 strikes in one day, the camper’s parent or guardian will be called, and we will send the camper home for the day. We believe that open communication between staff and parents is crucial in addressing behavioral issues. If these behaviors are consistently noted, your camper may be dismissed and asked not to return to camp. In this case, no refunds will be given.

Campers are NOT to bring cell phones, ipods, videogames, walkmans, inappropriate music or reading material to camp. These items will be confiscated and returned to parents at pick-up time.

Health Emergency Procedures

All campers must have up-to-date immunization records. Counselors will carry a basic first-aid kit for minor cuts and scrapes. Our on-site Health Director will be informed of all illnesses. When a camper is ill or injured, they will be sent to the Health Director. A written report will be recorded, and will be available upon request. In the event of injury or illness requiring further medical attention, parents will be contacted immediately.

    If a camper needs any medication at camp, parents MUST abide by the following procedure:

  • Provide written authorization for distribution by filling out a Request for Administration of Medication form (available at camp office and website).
  • Present a doctor’s note indicating a specific time and dosage to be given.
  • Provide the medication with its original label on the bottle.
  • Package the medication in a ziploc-type bag labeled with camper’s first and last name.
