EXPULSION POLICY   

While  rare,  there  are  sometimes  reasons  we  have  to  expel  a  child  either  on  a  short  term  or  permanent  basis.    The  Township would like you to know that we have staff at each camp site that will do everything possible to work with the  family of the child(ren) in order to prevent this policy from being enforced.  The following are reasons we may have to  terminate or suspend a child from our camp site:
