Should camp administration request for a child to be picked up from camp, or another location, parents are expected to do so in a timely manner.

Camp Clothing:

Appropriate camp wear includes shoes and attire that allows your child to participate safely in the days activities. Swimwear should be appropriate and functional.
OBE camp shirts must be worn on specified field trip days. Please see Website Events Calendar.

Personal Items:

Phones are allowed at camp, but we only allow their use at scheduled times.
We recommend that iPads, computers, and other electronic devices remain at home, as these types of items are not conducive for group interactions….and could be crushed or flushed.
Outta Bounds Events is not responsible for any personal items that may be lost, stolen, broken or covered in chocolate pudding.
Campers will get dirty and it is very likely that somewhere along their camping experience, something will get lost. We urge you not to send your camper in clothing, jewelry, etc. that has sentimental or high monetary value.

Camper Expectations:

Campers are expected to come to camp ready for fun with a positive attitude.
One of our standing guidelines is for campers to try every activity for at least a few games or a few minutes. We encourage participation and work to create an environment that is emotionally and physically safe.
Campers may engage in heavy physical exertion due to the nature of our activities. Alternate activities can be provided if necessary.
Campers of various ages may be together throughout times during the day, so we appreciate parents’ guidance in the dress and language of their preteen and teen campers.

Campers Conduct:

Campers are expected to behave with respect and courtesy towards one another, our staff, and everyone we interact with at camp (like the people sitting in front of our group at the movies).
Campers may be sent home for the following:

Willful destruction or misuse of camp property or equipment by a camper shall be the responsibility of the parent to repair or replace.
Camp administration reserves the right to dismiss your child from camp for behavior or conduct deemed detrimental to self, other campers, the staff or program.

Parent Phone Policy:

Outta Bounds Events staff and campers would like to ask you to put away your cell phones before entering the building. There might be some information we need to convey and we would love to talk to you about the wonderful things your child did. They deserve your full attention during that time.
