Camper Code of Conduct: Camp Wanapitei

At Camp Wanapitei we are committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and respectful environment for everyone. In order to maintain this environment, our campers are expected to follow the code of conduct below at all times. Campers are also empowered to raise concerns about situations at camp that may make them feel unsafe or that may not feel “right”. Staff are here to listen and help navigate these situations or circumstances at camp.

It is expected that families read and sign the following codes of conduct prior to arriving to camp. Staff will review the code of conduct during the first 24 hours of camp. It is expected that families reach out to us to ask any clarifying questions if necessary in advance of signing.
