Kids will be kids! But

Community Connections staff are
experienced and trained in working with
kids of all ages. To protect the safety and
well-being of all children, we have expectations
and standards for behavior.
If a child is unable to meet those standards,
even with all the support we are able
to provide, we may have to call the
parent or guardian and ask that the
child be removed from camp.
Please help us by telling us anything about your
child that will help us meet his or her needs.

Note to Parents and Guardians: Its autumn in Vermont, and the weather is unpredictable. We run our camps rain or shine,
so please send your child dressed appropriately - layers, walking shoes, warm clothes, extra clothes, rain coats, hats, gloves.
