charged for refunds. Within two weeks of the start date, norefunds will be processed and registration fees will be forfeited.

The staff of WCA Summer Programs are committed to providing students asafe, loving, Biblically-based environment to learn and play. An essential part ofestablishing this environment lies in reinforcing Christian ethics and moralvalues through appropriate disciplinary actions. As a result, we haveestablished the following steps to be followed in the event of disciplinaryissues*:

1. The camper may be asked to step out of the room or away from the group fora time to settle down. This time will be supervised by a summer staff member.The camper may return to the group if the issue has been resolved.

2. If disciplinary issues continue and the camper has been excused from theroom or group more than three times during a camp session, they will berequired to sit with camp administrative staff for a period of time. After speakingwith administrative staff, they may return to the group.

3. Any disciplinary issues that arise after several excuses from the group andtime with a camp administrator, will result in notification of the behavior byphone call, and camper may be dismissed from camp for the day.

*A disciplinary issue constitutes actions such as inappropriate speech, disrespect to other campers or campstaff, physical harm to other students or staff, and harm to themselves.
