Terms & Conditions for Camps/Classes

C3DAR LAB Class - Behaviour & Safety Policies

C3DAR LAB strives to provide the highest level of safety and enjoyment to all participants and staff during its camps and programs. We have developed this Behaviour & Safety Policy to support this mission and make programs and camp enjoyable for everyone.

Coarse language, bullying, non-compliance, aggressive or inappropriate behaviour, and behaviour that significantly impacts the safety or enjoyment of staff or other participants are not permitted in programs or at camp.
All parents/guardians are responsible for discussing appropriate behaviours with their children.
Behaviours that pose a safety risk to the individual or others may result in temporary or immediate removal from activities or programs.
No work created by participants should feature violent or otherwise inappropriate themes.

Our staff will make every effort to accommodate your child’s needs and integrate them into programming. However, actions or behaviours that do not adhere to this policy will be documented, reported, and could result in the permanent removal of a participant from programs or camp. We reserve the right to remove and withdraw your child from the program should their behaviour cause harm to themselves, participants, staff or property. If a child is removed, no refund will be issued for loss of service or participation.

Progressive Discipline Policy

C3DAR LAB promotes a progressive discipline model. Through progressive discipline, staff determine appropriate consequences and/ or supports to help participants improve their behaviour, while taking into account their individual circumstances. The goal is to help prevent inappropriate behaviour from happening again. Within this context, more serious consequences may be considered for inappropriate behaviour that escalates or is repeated.

Staff will consider a range of options to determine the most appropriate way to respond to each situation and help the participant learn from their choices. These will include different supports and consequences.

Supports could include:

a conversation with the participant
a review of expectations for the participant’s behaviour
a change of activity or setting

Consequences could include:

Revocation of access to certain technology, equipment, or materials
Change of seating
“Time Out”
Behaviour Reflection Assignment
Conversation with parent/guardian
Expulsion from the camp/program as per the C3DAR LAB 3 Strike Policy

3 Strike Policy

C3DAR LAB strives to provide the highest level of safety and enjoyment to all participants and staff during its camps and programs. It’s important that everyone attending a C3DAR LAB program is having a fun and safe experience.

Behaviours that are NOT permitted in C3DAR LAB programs include, but are not limited to:

Physically striking another participant or staff
Bullying, harassing, or threating any of the other participants or staff
Stealing anything from another participant, staff, or location
Possession of any harmful objects (such as knives, lighters, etc.)
Purposefully breaking anything that is supplied for their use or belongs to another participant or staff member
Any behaviour that may pose a safety risk to the individual, other participants, or staff

These behaviours will be documented, reported, and could result in the removal of a participant from camps or programs as per our 3-strike policy.

If the participant’s behaviour is deemed inappropriate by a supervisor, they may be administered a strike. In the event a strike has been given, the parent/guardian of the participant will be notified immediately and the participant will be removed from the program for the remainder of the day. The incident will also be documented and kept on file.

After the third strike, a participant will be removed indefinitely from the current program and from any other programs they may be signed up for. If a child is removed, no refund will be issued for loss of service or participation. C3DAR LAB reserves the right to administer all three strikes at once depending on the severity of the behaviour.

Safe & Responsible Technology Use Policy

All technological equipment required to participate in C3DAR LAB programs and camps will be provided by C3DAR LAB. Participants are not required to bring their own equipment with them to programs or camps.

In the event that a participant does bring a technological device, C3DAR LAB, its staff, and its vendors are not liable for any loss, theft, or damage that may occur. Participants are only permitted to use their personal devices during times specified by staff.
