Greenville, NC 27858
Dear Parents:
Greenville Recreation and Parks Department (GRPD) would like to take this opportunity
to welcome your family. Our goal is to provide a constructive, safe, and fun environment for
the children participating in our camps.
The GRPD Camp Manual outlines what you may expect from our day camps. We hope
this information will be helpful. In order for this program to be successful, we need the
complete support and cooperation of each child’s parent/guardian.
GRPD reserves the right to amend policies or trips at any time. We have a variety of
activities planned; swimming, arts and crafts, games, sports, field trips and much more. We
hope your child will make many new friends, learn new games, and make great memories!
We look forward to a great summer! If you have any questions, please contact your
Camp Director. Be sure to check your camper’s weekly itineraries for trips, times, etc.
Sincerely,
Greenville Recreation and Parks Staff

7About Our Camp Staff
Greenville Recreation and Parks Department takes great pride in our camp staff. We are
very diligent when it comes to the hiring of camp counselors. Our criterion is the
following: You must be 17 or older; you must be cleared through federal and local
background checks, and you must have a genuine interest in working with children.
Summer camp employees are interviewed by two full-time staff prior to being hired to
ensure candidates meet expectations. The month before camp begins, our staff are
already hard at work being certified in CPR and First Aid and attending many trainings.
We make sure our staff is ready and eager to be at camp with your children.
Client Assistance Program (CAP workers)

booster seat it must be provided by the parent or guardian on days it is needed. You will
be notified in advance of days it will need to be provided.

10Camper’s Responsibility
(Parent’s please read and explain the following to your child.)
1. Please use your manners and treat others with respect.
2. Obey all counselors.
3. Respect the rights of others - your fellow campers and other visitors. We can all have a
good time together if we follow the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have
them do unto you.”
4. Respect the property of others - help keep our site and the places we visit neat and
clean. Help put away games and equipment when you are through. Don’t damage any of
the equipment, supplies, or facilities at your site. We want to be able to enjoy them all
summer long.
5. Share in all the activities we have planned - arts, crafts, entertainment, sports, and
special camp projects have all been planned to make your summer FUN! Participate in
all that’s offered. Campers can go back to individual games when each group activity is
through.
6. Be responsible for the things you bring to camp. Your bathing suit, towels, etc. are your
responsibility. Every day before you leave, check to see that you are taking home
everything you brought that day and not someone else’s things. Parents, please label
each of your child’s items such as towels, sunscreen, and lunch boxes.
7. Stay with your camp group and your counselor at all times - this is one of the most
important rules and it will be strictly enforced. Campers are not allowed to leave the
camp site or your group at any time, for any reason. Campers are not allowed to go near
or across any roadways, streets, or parking areas unless accompanied by camp staff.
8. Be careful and watch out for others on the playground equipment - exercise playground
safety when using the equipment. Do use the equipment properly. If you see any broken
glass or broken equipment, tell a counselor immediately.
9. When on field trips and swimming, we are guests of wherever we visit - PLEASE BE ON
YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR and thank people for letting us visit by using your best manners.
That way we will be welcomed and allowed back again.
DO- Make new friends, have loads of fun, share new experiences and
have a terrific summer at camp!
11Greenville Recreation and Parks – Summer Camp
Behavior Management and Discipline Policy
At Greenville Recreation and Parks (GRPD), bullying is inexcusable, and we have a firm policy
against all types of bullying. Bullying is when one or more people exclude, tease, taunt, gossip,
hit, kick, or put down another person with the intent to hurt another. Our Camp philosophy is
based on our mission statement, which ensures every camper has the opportunity to have a
constructive, safe, and fun environment. Unfortunately, persons who are bullied may not have
the same potential to get the most out of their camp experience, which is why our leadership
and camp staff addresses all incidents of bullying seriously. Working together as a team to
identify and manage bullying, we will ensure campers gain self-confidence, make new friends,
and go home with great memories.
GRPD staff will use positive behavior management techniques that are developmentally
appropriate. The use of corporal punishment and physical activity as discipline is strictly
prohibited.
Behavior Management Techniques
GRPD Staff will
1. Discuss rules with campers and identify out of bounds areas.
2. Enforce all rules, at all times with consistent application and without malice.
3. Guide children by setting clear, consistent and fair limits for program behavior.
4. Use natural and logical consequences.
5. Redirect children to a more acceptable behavior or activity.
6. Use positive reinforcement, including a positive behavior recognition program.
7. Make eye contact and listen when children talk about their feelings and frustrations.
8. Guide children to resolve their own conflicts through the use of conflict resolution skills.
9. Use effective praise that is immediate, sincere and specific.
10. Modify and structure the environment to attempt to prevent problems before they occur.
11. Once the disciplinary time is over, accept the camper as part of the group again.
1212. Periodic evaluation of the program, volunteers and staff to ensure the environment is not
contributing to behavior problems.
Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to, the following:
1. Behavior requiring constant attention from staff.
2. Behavior that may threaten the physical or emotional wellbeing of others.
3. Behavior abusing the staff and/ignoring or disobeying the rules.
4. Name calling/threatening.
5. Physical bullying/fighting such as pushing, spitting, tripping, pinching, pulling, groping,
biting, and punching.
6. Inappropriate exposure.
7. Foul language.
8. Stealing.
9. Not following directions.
Discipline Action Steps
GRPD staff will utilize the following disciplinary steps in normal circumstances. More dire situations will
result in steps being skipped which could result in immediate suspension.
1. Remove camper portraying negative behavior until they can regain self-control.
2. Communicate verbally or in writing to parent/guardian regarding camper’ behavior.
3. Meeting between camp director and parent/guardian to enact a Behavior Improvement
Plan.
4. Suspension of camper for one or more days.
5. Removal of camper from program for the remainder of the summer. GRPD cannot serve
children who display chronically disruptive behavior.
If a child cannot adjust to the program setting and behave appropriately, the child may not be
able to return to the program. Reasonable efforts will be made to assist children in adjusting
to the program setting.
**NOTE: Campers suspended for behavior management problems are not eligible for a refund.

All campers must have the following forms on file with each camp prior to participation:
Administration of Medication Form (as necessary) – pg. 14-15
Camper Information Sheet – pg. 16
Parent Acknowledgement Form – pg. 18
Bug Repellent and Sunscreen Authorization Form – pg. 18

15Greenville Recreation & Parks Department
Administration of Medication
The safety and well-being of your child participating in a Greenville Recreation and Parks
program is of utmost concern. For this reason, policies for the administration of medications
have been designed to protect participants. Only those medications, which are medically
necessary and cannot be scheduled outside the hours of the recreation program, will be given
during the recreation program.
Recreation and Parks employees only administer medication to children if:
1. The Permission to Administer Physician Prescribed Medication form is completed by the parent or
guardian and is in the possession of the recreation and parks staff. These forms are available at
your program location and Jaycee Park.
2. The pharmacist or physician’s label, which must be on the bottle, will serve as the physician’s
order. A list of possible side effects or contraindications provided by the pharmacist must also
accompany the medication.
3. No medication will be given by a Recreation and Parks employee unless it is in a container
dispensed by a pharmacy with the camper’s name, name of medication, date the prescriptions was
filled and DIRECTIONS CLEARLY MARKED. No expired medication will be administered.
4. If a camper needs a non-prescription (over the counter) medication a Permission to Administer
Physician Prescribed Medication form needs to be signed by the physician and the parent
specifying the dosage, time, and frequency of medication. If the need is short term (less than a
week), only a parents note is required that states the medication, dosage, time and frequency of
medication. The parent always has the option to visit the summer camp location and administer
the medication. In this case, parents should notify camp staff so they are aware.
It is the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility to:
1. Sign the Permission to Administer Form and return to the recreation program staff.
2. Provide medication in a current prescription container, which includes the child’s name, medication
name, dose and time to be given, how it is to be administered and the physician’s name. Provide a
list of possible side effects or contraindications from the pharmacist.
3. Have the pharmacist label two containers - one for home use and one for use while child is a
Recreation Program participant - if a child is to receive medication at both sites (or send the
original).
4. Provide new, labeled containers when medication changes are made.
5. Parents/Guardians must transport medication to program site.
6. Medications will not be stored over the weekends and empty containers will be disposed of by
recreation employees (unless otherwise instructed).
16Permission to Administer Physician Prescribed Medication
Greenville Recreation & Parks Department
We encourage parents/guardian to administer all physician prescribed medications(s) to their children before
or after a Recreation and Parks sponsored program. We understand that an unusual case may arise and the
day camp’s part-time/full-time supervisor may be requested to administer medication. By completing the
information below we will, in some circumstances, authorize the City’s part-time/full-time supervisor to
administer physician’s prescribed medication(s) that are stored in current prescription bottle(s).
Under Title III of the ADA, The City of Greenville makes every attempt to make reasonable accommodations.

The Climbing Place
PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK for the year of 2020
In consideration of the services of Climbing Performance Institute Inc., The Climbing Place, their agents, owners, officers,
volunteers, participants, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter
collectively referred to as CPl), I hereby agree to release, indemnify, and discharge CPI, on behalf of myself, my children,
my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
1. I acknowledge that climbing on an artificial climbing wall entails known and unanticipated risks which could result in
physical or emotional injury, paralysis, death, or damage to myself, to property, or to third parties. I understand that
such risks simply cannot be eliminated without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity.
• The risks include, among other things: falling off the wall; loose and/or damaged artificial holds; rented equipment
failure; falling to the ground, on other users, or being fallen on by other users; abrasions from the walls, ropes, pads, or
the floor; equipment failure; belay and/or belayer failure; climbing out of control or beyond ones personal limits; the
negligence of the climbers, visitors, participants, or other persons who may be present; musculoskeletal injuries and/or
over training; head injuries; or my own negligence.
• Furthermore, CPI employees have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety, but they are not infallible. They might be
unaware of participant.s fitness or abilities. They may give inadequate warnings or instruction, and equipment being
used might malfunction.
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks existing in this activity. My participation in this
activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless CPI from any and all claims,
demands, or causes of action, which are in any way connected with my participation in this activity or my use of CPI
equipment or facilities, including any such Claims which allege negligent acts or omissions of CPI.
4. Should CPI or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce the agreement, I
agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all such fees and costs.
5. I certify that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may cause or suffer while participating, or else
I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further certify that I am willing to assume the risk of any
medical or physical condition I may have.
6. In the event that I file a lawsuit against CPI, I agree to do so solely in the state of North Carolina, and I further agree
that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state.
I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in
full force and effect.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation
in this activity, I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against CPI on the basis
of any claim from which I have released them herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I
have read and understood it, and I agree to be bound by its terms.
