Camper Behavior Agreement

Our Community Values

Creative Kids Music Camp is a community where young musicians come together to learn, create, and grow. We believe that music-making is a collaborative experience that requires respect, kindness, and a willingness to support one another. These behavior expectations help us maintain a safe, positive, and productive environment for all campers.

Respect for Others

Campers are expected to:

• Treat all staff, instructors, and fellow campers with kindness and respect
• Use appropriate language at all times (no profanity, put-downs, or hurtful comments)
• Listen when others are speaking or performing
• Celebrate the efforts and achievements of fellow campers
• Accept and include others, regardless of ability level or background
• Keep hands and feet to themselves

Respect for Equipment

Campers are expected to:

• Handle all instruments and equipment with care
• Follow instructions for proper use of instruments
• Ask permission before using equipment that is not assigned to them
• Report any damage or issues to staff immediately
• Clean up their workspace and materials at the end of each activity

Respect for the Program

Campers are expected to:

• Follow the daily schedule and be on time for activities
• Listen to and follow instructions from staff and instructors
• Participate actively in all camp activities
• Stay with their assigned group unless given permission to leave
