Behavior Expectation:
The Mankato Family YMCA staff works proactively with your camper to follow the mission of the YMCA of the USA: “To put Christian
principles into practice through programs and services that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all” as well as apply the five core values
of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Faith. We expect all campers to treat others with these principles and values in mind. If a
camper’s behavior deems unsuitable for camp, we will respond with those same principles.
The YMCA does not tolerate physical fighting, inappropriate language and/or touch, disruptive behavior, profanity, blatant disrespect,
violation of rules or illegal activity. If this should occur, parents will be notified and may be asked to pick up their child, dependent on the
circumstances. If behaviors continue or escalate, the child may be suspended from the program depending on the severity and/or frequency
of behavior. Our goal is to provide positive growth opportunities for all in a safe, healthy, nurturing environment. Refunds will not be given
if a child is sent home because of a behavioral problem.
