Conduct and Other Camp Policies

We want our camps to be a fun, positive and safe experience for all campers. We expect all campers and parents to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner and to support our efforts to achieve this goal, including honoring camp policies. Accordingly, the JCCSF reserves the right to suspend or dismiss your child from the summer camp program if the JCCSF concludes in its sole discretion that your child's or your conduct is disruptive to the summer camp program. No refunds or reduction in fees are issued for days missed due to suspension or dismissal.
