All campers must be able to independently use the bathroom while at camp. This includes:
- The ability to communicate to their counselors that they need to go to the bathroom before they are about to have an accident
- Postpone going if they must wait for another camper who is using the bathroom
- Pull up/down their clothes without assistance
- Get on/off the toilet by themself
- Wipe and clean themselves after using the toilet
- Wash and dry their own hands
Campers are to be dressed for camp in clothing that they can easily change in/out of independently.
Campers are not permitted to wear diapers or pull-ups at camp, even as a preventative measure. Additionally, campers who rely on swim diapers are not permitted to use them in the pool.
We realize that accidents may occur. For this reason, we recommend that all campers bring to camp a full change of clothes, including underwear and socks, in a Ziploc bag that is labeled with their name. Parents will be notified by telephone by a LINX Camps staff member if an accident does occur.
LINX Camps reserves the right to cancel the registration of any participant who has repeated bathroom accidents at camp. After three accidents within a one-week period, a child will be asked to take a break from camp for the remainder of the week. Upon returning to camp, and if appropriate, the child may be reduced to a half-day schedule. After three more accidents, the child will need to take a break for the rest of the summer and we will then apply 100% of their unused tuition paid as a LINX Camps credit on the family account in the hopes that they will be ready next year. This credit will never expire and can be used by any child in the family for future camps. These policies are in place to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for all.
