Souris Valley Museum Camp Policies:
By signing this agreement, you are agreeing to the following:
Camp Behaviour:
Staff members reserve the right to dismiss a student for reoccurring inappropriate or disruptive behaviour. Behaviour related dismissals will not be refunded. Every child that attends Souris Valley Museum’s children’s camps will be adhered to the 3-strike policy. If your child gets three strikes in one day, the parent/guardian will be notified by phone for them to pick up said child immediately.
A “strike” includes but is not limited to:
• Explicit name calling towards staff or other participants
• Physical abuse towards staff or other participants
• Discussion of inappropriate topics
• Disobeying rules
• Swearing
• Destructive or damage to the supplies, furniture, or property of Souris Valley Museum
Arrival/Pick-Up:
• Children should arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the camp begins as there is no supervision before that time. Children should be picked up no later than 5 minutes after a program has ended. After 10 minutes, there will be an additional charge of $5 for every 5 minutes if your child has not been picked up yet.
• If another person is picking up your child, you must let us know at drop off and give name of said person to the program coordinator.
• Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at arrival and pick up times. Children should not walk into the building alone at arrival and children will not be sent out of the building alone at pick up. Children must be handed over to a staff member of the museum at arrival.
Payment and Cancellation:
• Full payment is required at registration time. This secures your child’s spot for the program.
• Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances or low program registrations require us to cancel a program. If this happens, we will notify you by email as soon as we can or within 24 hours of camp start time for low program registrations. You will receive a full refund in the case of low participants or unforeseen circumstances.
• If your child can no longer attend the program, you must notify the museum within 24 hours of program start time to receive a refund. Notification within less than 24 hours or no shows will not receive a refund.
Medication, Allergies, and Illnesses:
• Museum staff is not permitted to accept or administer medication. If there is an emergency, 911 will be called, followed by the parent.
• Parents must advise museum staff of any medical conditions and/or allergies your child has for their safety.
• If you child becomes sick during a program, the parent will be called to pick them up immediately.
Disabilities:
• Parents should advise museum staff of disabilities your child has including medical, mental, or physical disabilities.
• Children of all abilities are welcome to participate in our camps/programs. The Souris Valley Museum does not provide 1:1 supervision for participants. Please use your own discretion if a museum program is fit for your child to attend independently. However, a parent or guardian can attend with your child at no extra charge for parent or guardian. You must email the program coordinator about a chaperone before attending said program.
Harassment:
• The Souris Valley Museum has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment towards staff and board members. Harassment is defined as any inappropriate conduct, comment, action, or gesture and may result in a dismissal from the Souris Valley Museum.
