Animal Care and Interaction Rules

• Be Gentle and respectful to all animals at all times: No chasing, hitting, kicking, pinching, or picking up the animals.
• Do Not Feed Unless Permitted: Only feed animals with food provided by the camp, as outside food can make them sick.
• Respect Animal Space: Do not overcrowd animals; wait for your turn if others are interacting with them.
• No Outside Pets
• Follow Staff Instructions. 

• Do not open gates or allow animals to leave their fenced area.

• Wash Hands Immediately: Wash hands with soap and water right after leaving the animal area, even if you did not directly touch them.
• No Food or Drinks: Do not eat, drink, or bring snacks into the petting area, as this can cause bacteria transfer.
• Keep Personal Items Out: Keep strollers, toys, pacifiers, bottles, and sippy cups outside the animal area.
• Supervise Children: Counselors and Adults must closely monitor children, keeping them from putting their hands in their mouths, touching their faces, or kissing animals.
• Health Warning: Individuals with compromised immune systems, allergies, small children, and pregnant women should take extra precautions, as germs can be present. 

By entering the animal area, you acknowledge that Camp Guilrock is not liable for any injuries that may occur.

Thank you for helping us keep our animals and our guests safe and happy!

Camp Guilrock Behavior Policy

We have a new behavior policy this year. We want to encourage kindness, growth, and safety. We will use the acronym ROCKS

Respect

Outstanding Listening

Cooperation

Kindness 

Safety

When we see kids exemplifying these values they will receive a bead. As they accumulate beads, they will earn rewards. 

4 Beads: Prize box each week

8 Beads: Candy Bucket

12 Beads: Snow Cone Friday

20 Beads: GuilRock Stuffed Animal

50 Beads: Pizza party at Camp! 

We also take bullying and physical contact very seriously. If your child is found bullying, foul language, hitting, pushing, or other unsafe behavior they will: 

1st Offense: Warning to the parents

2nd offense: Sent home for the rest of the day

3rd offense: Sent home for the rest of the week

4th offense: Not allowed to come back. 

No refunds will be given if your child is sent home for behavior.
