Behaviour Expectation

The City of Cambridge summer program staff are dedicated to providing your child with a safe, creative and innovative program that will peak their interest and keep them enthused.  We have fun, play fair, and show respect for ourselves and for others.

The rules of program participation will be clearly outlined to participants 

  1. Keep your hands and feet to yourself
  2. Speak nicely to each other
  3. Touch only what belongs to you
  4. Stay within the activity area
  5. Listen to your leaders/staff

It is the intention of staff to provide a fun and safe program environment for your child.  Summer program staff have been trained in a variety of behaviour management techniques to encourage positive behaviour and self-discipline. Keep in mind this is a camp/playground environment with no therapists on site. Playground staff and Inclusion Facilitators will not use physical restraint.  Personal care such as toileting, diapers, lifts and transfers will be the primary responsibility of the family - agency support may be arranged through Inclusion Services when necessary.

Program Expectation

To ensure the best use of resources and the success of our programs, we ask the following program expectations be reviewed; 

  • Ensure drop off and pick up times are followed
  • Inform staff when participant is sick prior to program start time
  • Inform Inclusion Coordinator if child is being withdrawn from program
  • Ensure staff are aware if a support worker or therapist will be on site during program
