Campers, volunteer leaders, and staff attending Brigade led camps are subject to rules to ensure safety for
everyone. Most rules are explained during orientation on the first day of each camping session. The rules
regarding the following subjects are brought to your attention now due to their importance.

Campers who violate these rules may be sent home because…
1.We are entrusted with the tremendous responsibility for the safety and well-being of each camper by
their parents.
2. We must protect the lives and possessions of our campers, leaders, staff, and the camp itself.
3. We aim to maintain a high standard of ethical conduct.
4. We are bound to compliance with state and local laws and regulations.

Right to Privacy
Peers and adult volunteers are prohibited from searching camper belongings.

Harassment, Hazing, & Bullying
There is zero tolerance for bullying and harassment at Onaway. Anyone who knowingly creates an unpleasant
or hostile situation for another, especially by uninvited or unwelcome verbal, physical, or sexual conduct
is subject to disciplinary action up to removal from Onaway. This includes forcing another person to do
dangerous, humiliating, exploitative, or painful things.

Theft/Vandalism
Any level of theft or vandalism, including the malicious damage or destruction of property, will not be tolerated.

Illegal & Illicit Substances
Use and/or possession of alcohol, nicotine, tobacco, vape products, controlled substances, paraphernalia, and
other intoxicants not listed are absolutely prohibited both on Onaway itself and while participating in any camp
activities away from the island.

Leaving Onaway
Campers are not permitted to leave Brigade led camps without express Camp Manager approval anytime
other than designated activity times (canoe trips, open boating time, etc.).

Cell Phone/Electronic Devices
Cell phones and any device that can access the internet are strictly prohibited for campers.

It is our highest priority to serve the best interests of youth by creating an atmosphere in our camps that is welcoming and safe for all.
