7. Can you take pictures of campers with a zebra-striped necklace? (Here is the discussion about this: Campers whose parents have asked that their pictures not be taken are asked to wear a zebra striped necklace for the duration of camp. The idea is that it should be visible in any photo, and that this would remind us not to use that photo if we took it by mistake. We always give group leaders the information about whether or not photo permission has been granted for their campers. However, only designated staff are permitted to take photos of campers, so the easiest way to remember this is just - NO PHOTOS). *

10. Campers are permitted to leave their group on their own. This is a bit of a tricky question, and the information in the training pdf is not quite correct, so I'l just tell you. Normally campers must stay with their group throughout the day. However, during free time activities they are free to move to whichever activity interests them. If they want to do an activity in a different building (eg. floor hockey), they must wait until a designated time to move to that location (usually every 20 minutes we offer a change of location), and must be escorted from one building to the next. *
