Staff who transport other staff in their own vehicle do so individually and not as representatives of the camp and assume all liability. Staff who transport staff under the age of 18 years old take on the added responsibility for a minor and must make arrangements through the camp administration and the underage staff's parents and assure that all activities are appropriate for a minor. As employees of the YMCA, we are looked upon by campers, parents and neighbors as youth leaders. Staff members will be expected to exercise mature behavior, discretion, appropriate personal relationship behavior, and sensitivity that are consistent with our work as leaders and models for young people. Good health habits, neatness, appropriate dress, and good grooming are as important at camp as in any other place of employment.
Appearance is an important part of role modeling at camp.
Tattoos must be in good taste and non-offensive. Wording on clothing must be appropriate to all ages, consistent with the values and principles of our programs and be non-offensive. The camp administration reserves the right to make determinations regarding the appropriateness of staff members' appearance. As role models and good citizens, staff members are expected to obey all state and federal laws. Harassment also includes sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, unwelcome or offensive touching or other verbal, graphic or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
