Rules of Conduct at Camp

In order to ensure that camp is as educational, successful, organised, inclusive and safe as possible, we ask that parents help support the Roshei Machane and Madrichim by reading the following with their children and making sure that they are aware of and understand the Rules of Conduct at Camp:

  1. All Chanichim are expected to treat all members of the camp with respect, inclusion and dignity at all times. All forms of physical, mental and sexual abuse are strictly prohibited.
  2. There is a strict ‘no bullying’ policy on camp. This includes verbal and non-verbal forms of bullying.
  3. Any Chanich/a who wilfully causes destruction or damage to any site we visit, or property belonging to Mizrachi, Bnei Akiva or to any of the Chanichim or Madrichim, shall pay for the repair and / or be responsible for the compensation to the location for the damage caused. 
  4. The Chanich/a shall adhere to the instructions of the camp staff at all times.
  5. The use / possession of alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, hookahs, pornography and / or illegal activities is strictly prohibited on camp. 
  6. Mobile Phones
    1. For Chanichim in Years 2-8 - Mobile Phones and other electronic devices are prohibited on camp entirely, and Madrichim will confiscate a phone or electronic if seen, to be returned at the end of camp.
    2. For Chanichim in Years 9 and 10, we encourage them to leave their phones at home. Should Chanichim bring their mobile phone on camp, they can only be used at the discretion of Madrichim, only in their rooms when appropriate. They are prohibited from being brought into tochniot. Inappropriate use of mobile phones on camp will result in a disciplinary process, with the potential for the phone to be confiscated for some or all of camp.  
    3. Chanichim will not be allowed to use Madrichim’s phones for any purpose. Calls to parents may be made on the phones of the Camp Tzevet, at these people’s discretion.
  7. Girls are expected to wear skirts to their knees. 
  8. Boys are required to wear a kippah (or some sort of head covering) and tzitzit at appropriate times
  9. Boys and girls will be sleeping separately, and no boys are allowed in girls’ rooms and no girls are allowed in boys’ rooms. This is something we take extremely seriously on camp and will not be tolerated.
  10. Chanichim and Chanichot are not allowed to wear singlet/tank tops, sleeveless tops or short shorts.
  11. Chanichim are strictly prohibited from entering any lakes / rivers / oceans.
  12. Swimming
    On Summer Camp we have the privilege of doing water activities. All Chanichim must treat the safety rules and instructions given by all Madrichim, Shlichim and Campsite Staff with complete respect.
  13. Sun Safety
    We require all Chanichim to bring their own hats and water bottles to camp. Please ensure your child/ren’s items are labelled.
    We will be checking that every Chanich/a has a hat and water bottle before they get on the bus to Camp.
    Madrichim will be making sure Chanichim have brought a hat and water bottle to every tochnit, and have applied sunscreen when outdoors.
  14. Food
    Bnei Akiva is strictly NUT FREE. Please do not bring any food containing nuts to camp.
    Chanichim are more than welcome to bring snacks to camp. However, please encourage your kids to partake of the meals provided by our hard-working kitchen staff. Note that there will be a Tuck Shop where chanichim will be able to purchase snacks on camp.
    Please ensure that all snacks brought to camp are Certified Kosher to avoid confusion.

 

Breach of these rules will be subject to disciplinary procedures on camp, which may include exclusion from some activities or exclusion from the camp.
Please note that the above rules operate in addition to the terms of the Indemnity Form.
