Code of Conduct at Camp Beaumont

Behaviour & Code of Camp Conduct

Creating an environment of mutual respect, whilst having fun, is at the very heart of everything that we do. We believe that every child has an equal right to have a fantastic time with us and for that reason always keep a close eye on any teasing or bullying or other anti-social behaviour that may affect another guest's experience with us. Fortunately these instances are still uncommon, however please do tell your children that if this does happen then they should quietly inform their group leader or any other member of staff immediately. If they tell you during their stay of any experiences such as this, then please check whether we have been advised and if not, then please tell us as soon as possible. We will take immediate steps to rectify this. We have firm rules in place and will act in regard to any child who is wilfully spoiling another guest’s stay.

If problem behaviour is persistent or serious, we will contact the parent or guardian to decide on further action. We reserve the right to send any child home immediately at parent/guardians’ expense and to charge for any additional costs incurred. No refunds will be considered for any children sent home for behavioural reasons. Please ensure you have read our booking conditions. Children will be asked to pay for any damage deliberately caused to any Camp Beaumont property or leased centres.

Code of conduct

We pride ourselves on the easy going and fun atmosphere that prevails at all our camps. We therefore insist that the parent / guardian or other person acting in "loco parentis" fully advise Camp Beaumont when booking, of any illness, disability, social or behavioural problems that a youngster currently has or has recently experienced, which might affect the youngster or other guests during their Camp Beaumont holiday.

This advice must also be confirmed in writing at the earliest opportunity. We will carefully consider matters and advise you whether we have the staff and facilities to provide an appropriate holiday in these circumstances, with particular reference to such considerations as access, successful participation and health and safety.

We always reserve the right to exclude any person after holiday commencement if his/her behaviour is incompatible with the general enjoyment and well-being of others. In these circumstances, collection would be entirely the responsibility and at the expense of the person acting in "loco parentis," to whom any costs for damage and other expenses incurred would also be charged.
