Murphy Music Center’s Three-Warning System

  1. First warning is just that, a verbal warning. The camper’s counselor or other staff will have a one-on-one conversation with the camper away from the group and remind them of the Three Warning System. 

2. Second warning, camper will have a “reset” or check-in with the Head Counselor.  

3. Third warning (and beyond) within a week means a phone call home. Parent and Head counselor will discuss a plan and what changes need to happen so that the camper can have a successful week.

*We look for improvement and progress day to day. The call with parents does not necessarily mean a camper needs to go home for the week – it’s merely an opportunity for us to collaborate with adult(s)/parent(s)/guardian(s) on how to best support their child. 

Very concerning behaviors that will be discussed immediately with parents:

• anything impacting other camper’s safety (hitting, throwing rocks, etc)

• major safety concerns (running away from group, etc.)  

Procedure and Details: 

It is MMC’s expectation that adults/parents/guardians review camp safety and behavioral expectations with their campers prior to the start of camp.
