Modelling by Adults

Camp Leaders behaviour largely sets the pace and mood of the Camp. Leaders shall demonstrate a calm and gentle approach with the children.

Redirection

Leaders shall be attuned to typical signals coming from children that indicate pending misbehaviour and wherever possible offer alternatives to misbehaviour by redirecting children. When misbehaviour occurs a leader will make clear statements describing the undesired behaviour in a calm manner. This discussion will take place in private and away from other children. Children will be encouraged to draw conclusions for how they could make better decisions in the future.

Please note:

If at any stage the Manager is concerned about the wellbeing of a child or the affect that their behaviour is having on those around them, they may use their judgement to call for parents to collect them from Camp even when a child is attending an ‘Away Day’. This is to ensure that the wellbeing and protection of all children is upheld.
