Behavior Policy
At the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir Choralfest Camp, we strive to create a positive, safe, and inclusive environment where all campers can learn, grow, and enjoy the arts. Campers are expected to be kind, respectful, and cooperative with fellow campers, staff, and guest artists. Respect for camp facilities, instruments, and materials is also required.
To ensure a safe and structured experience, campers must stay with their assigned groups at all times and follow directions from camp staff. Disruptive, unsafe, or disrespectful behavior—including bullying, inappropriate language, or refusal to follow camp guidelines—will not be tolerated. The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to dismiss any camper whose behavior is deemed unsafe or detrimental to the camp experience. No refunds will be issued if a camper is asked to leave for disciplinary reasons.
By attending camp, participants and their guardians acknowledge and agree to these expectations, helping us maintain a welcoming and enriching environment for all.
