Online Communications Policy for Campers
Online Communications Policy for Campers
Camp Tel Yehudah respects the right of campers and their parents/guardians to participate in online communities, including social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or to create their own personal webpages or blogs. Campers or their parents/guardians who identify themselves as campers of Camp Tel Yehudah or parents/guardians of such campers in any such Internet venue may, however, be viewed by some, as representatives of the Camp. In light of this, Camp Tel Yehudah requires its campers and its Camper’s parents/guardians, as a condition to participation at Camp Tel Yehudah, to adhere to the following policy when referencing Camp Tel Yehudah or any of its staff, programs, activities, or other campers in their or any other blog or personal website. These rules are not intended to be exclusive and, therefore, may be interpreted by Camp Tel Yehudah to include similar rules governing the use of such Internet sites.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must be thoughtful and respectful in all communications related to or referencing the camp, its staff or other campers.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must not use profanity, obscenities, or vulgar language.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must not post any comments or pictures about Camp Tel Yehudah, its staff, or other campers that could be considered threatening, disparaging, humiliating, demeaning, sexually suggestive, or defamatory in any way.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must not use blogs, personal websites, social networking sites or Instant Messaging to harass, intimidate, or bully other campers or staff.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must not use blogs, personal websites, social networking sites or Instant Messaging to discuss engaging in conduct that is prohibited by Camp Tel Yehudah policies, including but not limited to, the use of alcohol or illegal drugs, abuse, or inappropriate sexual behavior.
- Neither Camp Tel Yehudah nor Young Judaea shall be responsible for the pictures posted on any Camper’s or Camper’s parents/guardians’ personal website.
- Campers and Camper’s parents/guardians must not use the Camp Tel Yehudah’s or Young Judaea’s name, logo or any other identifying information of Camp Tel Yehudah or Young Judaea in connection with postings or pictures without obtaining written permission.
Camp Tel Yehudah reserves the right to monitor a camper’s webpage or blog at any time without prior consent or approval. Any postings or pictures that are inappropriate or posted without permission must be removed immediately. Upon the determination, in the sole discretion of Camp Tel Yehudah, that there has been a violation of this policy, disciplinary action may be taken, up to and including, immediate dismissal from Camp Tel Yehudah, at parent’s expense without refund.
