Camper Safety & Behavior Policy
The safety and well-being of every camper is our top priority.
Important — please read before registering. Camp Osprey is a residential, high-adventure outdoor program with limited on-site medical and support staffing — we are not a medical or therapeutic facility. If your camper has any medical condition, disability, developmental or behavioral need, or takes medication, you must disclose it and speak with us before registering. Every enrollment is subject to an individual review to confirm we can keep your camper, and everyone around them, safe.
We welcome every family’s inquiry and will work with you in good faith to identify reasonable accommodations. Following an individualized assessment, if we determine we cannot safely meet a camper’s needs with the staffing and resources our program provides — or that participation would pose a direct safety risk to the camper or others that cannot be reasonably mitigated — we may be unable to offer or continue enrollment, and we will gladly help point you toward a program better suited to support your camper. Please contact us before registering.
So families know what to expect, our program is not staffed or equipped to:
- administer insulin or perform blood-glucose monitoring;
- provide seizure monitoring or administer seizure medications or emergency protocols;
- provide one-on-one supervision, behavioral intervention, or therapeutic or crisis support.
Zero-tolerance policy for violent, threatening, or unsafe behavior.
Every camper must be able to participate safely in a group setting and follow camp rules and staff direction without posing a safety risk to themselves or others. A camper who engages in violent, threatening, unsafe, or illegal behavior may be dismissed without refund. Depending on the offense, we may also contact local authorities. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping camp safe for everyone.
