Camper Behavior Policies
Summer Programs at The Ellis School strive to empower and inspire all students through learning and having fun in a structured and safe environment.

Behaviors that are not tolerated at The Ellis School:
- Hitting, shoving, pushing, or physical violence
- Verbal abuse, offensive language, or bullying
- Lying or manipulating the truth
- Stealing or taking things without asking
- Destroying property
- Possessing, using, or distributing drugs or alcohol
- Bringing weapons of any kind to camp
- Ignoring counselor or staff directions
In extreme cases, to ensure the safety of the camp community, the Director of Summer Programs reserves the right to expel campers at their own discretion. In this situation, refunds will not be provided.
Parent/Guardian Policies

Please respect our hard-working staff by ensuring timeliness at drop-off and pick-up. Regular camp arrival time is from 8:15–9:00 a.m. Regular dismissal time is from 12:00–12:15 p.m. for half-day camp sessions and 3:00–3:15 p.m. for full-day camp sessions (with the exception of Performance by Design, which will dismiss from 4:00–4:15 p.m.). Participants will not be admitted before 8:15 a.m.

For the safety of all children, parents and guardians are not permitted to visit campers during the camp day. If an emergency arises and you must contact your child(ren), please email us at summerprograms@js-ayds.com or call us at 412-661-5992 so we can immediately assist you.
Health and Medication Policies

All campers will need to complete the Summer Camp Health Form, which can be filled out online within the Ellis Summer Camp Registration Form. This form asks basic health and safety questions and allows for accurate and up-to-date reporting on essential camper emergency and health information.

Please note that we are prohibited by state law from allowing your camper to remain on campus without current medical and immunization information on file.

A staff member certified in FA/CPR/AED will be present at all times. Beyond self-administered EpiPens and inhalers, staff may not dispense medications during camp. If medication must be taken during camp, arrangements must be made for an adult to come and dispense medication. For the well-being of all children, please do not use camp as a time to transition a camper off of medications.

Keep children home from camp when they are ill and/or pick them up if they become sick at camp. Campers must be 24 hours fever-free without fever-reducing medication before they can return to camp (below 100 degrees Fahrenheit).
Arrival and Dismissal Policies

Campers will not be admitted earlier than 8:15 a.m. Parents/guardians should walk their young child(ren) to the main gate but are not allowed on campus or inside any school buildings. Before-care is free and available for campers of all ages every day!

All half-day camps end at 12:00 p.m. and all full-day camps end at 3:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Parents/guardians of younger children should come to the main entrance to pick up their child(ren). Families can pre-register and pay for after-care during online camp registration should they need extended care. After-care for campers ages 3–9 runs daily from 3:15 to 5:45 p.m.

If you anticipate a late arrival to camp or require an early dismissal, please email summerprograms@theellisschool.org to notify camp staff.
