Behaviour expectations

Disruptive or uncooperative behavior spoils camp for everyone. Each parent and camper must sign a behavior expectation form. Campers who do not live up to expectations may be asked to leave camp permanently.

When considering a recreation experience please consider the individuals needs, and that the recreation integrated setting may not be suitable for all persons with disabilities. Health and Safety of participants and staff is paramount, which could result in participants being denied access to the program.

Please note that the Town of Huntsville does not offer 1:1 support for youth programs or campers. Children who require an Educational Assistant at school or 1:1 support for success, are asked to provide their own caregiver at youth programs/camp. Please contact our Community Services Recreation staff for further information, to communicate your child’s needs and/or how to bring a caregiver for your child.
