Communication Policy

Our Parent Communication Policy

Part of a successful camp experience means communicating with parents as necessary to ensure they receive timely and consequential information regarding their children during their time at camp. The following list explains when Blue Ridge ASC will contact a parent while their child is at camp:

Medical
• If a camper is injured, or ill, and needs to be transported to an off-site medical facility.
• If a camper is injured, or ill, and will miss more than 30 minutes of morning instruction.
• If a camper is injured, or ill, and will miss camp activities for more than 60 minutes.
• If a camper sustains a head injury.

Emotional/Social
• If a camper is unable to engage in camp activities for more than 60 minutes.

Operational
• If a camper needs to change their living quarters, or there is a counselor change.

Disciplinary (campers may be sent home immediately for disciplinary issues)
• If a camper harms another camper, physically or emotionally.
• If a camper has drugs, alcohol, or weapons in their possession.
• If a camper fails to follow the Rule of Three.
• If a camper fails to follow Blue Ridge ASC Rules and the Camper Code of Conduct.

Blue Ridge ASC’s team is committed to communicating openly with parents and is available anytime parents wish to call camp regarding their child. Together, we are a child’s best support system.
