Camp Safety
Behavior Management Techniques Camp staff implement a variety of positive guidance strategies including modeling skills, offering choices, employing redirection, altering the environment, and reflection. All behavior management strategies are suggested to the children in a gentle, positive, and discreet manner.
If inappropriate or unacceptable behavior occurs, prompt resolution will be sought and the Behavior Code of Conduct will be used as a guideline. The Park District reserves the right to remove a participant whose actions endanger the safety of himself or others.
Code of Conduct All participants (and their parents/caregivers) must adhere to the District’s Code of Conduct.
1. Show respect to all participants, staff, and volunteers. Participants should follow program rules and take direction from staff.
2. Refrain from using abusive, inappropriate, or foul language.
3. Refrain from threatening or causing bodily harm to self, other participants, or staff.
4. Show respect for equipment, supplies, and facilities.
5. Not possess any weapons.
Family Scholarship Program
To help ensure that every resident has the opportunity to participate in recreation programs, the Vernon Hills Park District has established a Family Scholarship Program. Financial aid is available to families, residing in the District, who are experiencing temporary financial difficulty. Applications are available at the Sullivan Community Center. For more information, please contact Tom Ritter at tomr@vhparkdistrict.org or (847) 996-6802.
Youth and teen camp registrations require completion of online waivers, emergency contact/authorized pickup, and medical info via ePACT. After registering, families will receive an email from ePACT to set up or reconfirm their child’s account. This step is crucial for full registration and your child’s participation. Contact ePACT directly at 1-855-773-7228 for assistance. Emails will be sent from ePACT on or after April 1.
