Camp Jorn YMCA Statement Of Purpose For Diversity and Inclusion

Program Definitions

Diversity: The presence of differences that make each person unique and that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another. 

Inclusion: The full engagement and development of all Y stakeholders (campers, staff, participants, members, policy volunteers, program volunteers, partners, communities, vendors, etc.).

Equity: Equity is the guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all, while striving to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented full participation of some groups; it acknowledges historically underserved and underrepresented populations, and that fairness regarding these unbalanced conditions is needed to assist equality in the provision of effective opportunities to all groups.

Camp Jorn Diversity & Inclusion Statement  ​

Camp Jorn YMCA is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life living, working, and playing side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live and experience life to its fullest in a safe environment. We share the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility—everything we do stems from these Core Values.

• T-shirts and sweatshirts

• Water bottles and mugs

• Stickers and hats

• Flashlights and other camp essentials

A limited number of snacks can be purchased each day.

Photos & Videos

Keep up with your camper’s adventures! We post weekly photo galleries and videos so you can see all the fun happening at camp. Click here

We do our best to capture your camper in action, but please keep in mind that not every moment can be photographed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I find the photos?
Pictures are posted every other weekday on our SmugMug account.

My child isn’t smiling in the photos. Are they having a good time?
Most campers aren’t smiling 24/7! If you’re concerned, please call us, and we’ll provide a quick update on your camper.

I don’t see a photo of my camper.
Camp days are busy, and while we strive to capture as many moments as possible, we can’t photograph everything. Some campers are also pros at spotting our camp photographer and hiding!

Questions or Concerns

If you have any questions about photos or videos, please contact our Registrar:
Jenn Davis, 715-543-8808 ext 0201 or email jenn@campjornymca.org.

Session Changes, Cancellations, or Questions

Session changes, cancellations or questions email Jenn@campjornymca.org or call 715-543-8808 ext 0201. 

Dietary Needs & Food Allergies 

• Camp Jorn YMCA is nut-free.

• Our kitchen has experience accommodating campers with lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets, as well as a variety of food allergies.

• If your child has food allergies or other health-related concerns, please provide this information on your camper’s Health History Form.

Staying Connected with Your Camper

Our goal is to make both parents and campers feel comfortable and confident throughout the camp experience.

Camp Jorn YMCA actively shares photos throughout the session so families can see what’s happening at camp.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child during their stay, please don’t hesitate to call us at 715-543-8808 ext 0201 or email jenn@campjornymca.org. We’re happy to provide updates and support throughout the session

Everyone loves to get mail! We strongly recommend writing letters because opening an envelope is much more exciting than reading an email. Write as often as you like. We encourage families to mail a letter or two before your camper leaves home, so mail is waiting for them at Camp Jorn. We also offer a one-way email program where you can email your camper. Emails are printed daily (except for weekends) and distributed with the rest of the mail.

Birthday Celebrations at Camp

We love celebrating campers’ birthdays while they’re at Camp Jorn!

• Birthdays are celebrated during dinner on the camper’s special day.

• One of our favorite traditions is having the entire camp sing “Happy Birthday” to the birthday camper.

• Families are welcome to send a special treat for the camper to share with their cabin mates (typically 10 campers and 2 counselors per cabin). 

Tips for Celebrating Birthdays at Camp

• Nut-Free Treats: All treats must be nut-free to keep all campers safe.

• Shareable Snacks: Send enough for the whole cabin so everyone can enjoy the celebration.

• Small Surprises: Consider small, inexpensive items like stickers, pencils, or craft supplies that cabin mates can enjoy.

• Avoid Electronics or Expensive Gifts: For safety and fairness, please do not send electronics or costly items.

• Include a Note: A short, cheerful birthday note from home adds a special personal touch.

Tip: Encourage your camper to share and enjoy their birthday treats responsibly — it’s a great way to build community and kindness in the cabin!

Homesickness at Camp

It is completely normal for a camper to feel homesick at camp. Being in a new environment with new people can be challenging, and many campers (and even some staff) experience homesickness at some point.

What Homesickness Looks Like

Homesickness is a natural reaction to being away from the comforts of home and family. Its intensity varies from camper to camper:

• Many campers experience mild homesickness during the first day or two at resident camp.

• For most, these feelings subside quickly.

• A few campers may experience more intense or prolonged feelings of missing home.

Typical signs include:

• Sadness or crying

• Mild anxiety about being away from family

• Expressing feelings in letters or conversations

How We Help

Our staff are trained to recognize and address homesickness. They use proven strategies to help campers adjust and feel more comfortable.

• Campers may express homesickness in letters early in the session — this is normal and nothing to worry about.

• If a camper struggles with homesickness for a prolonged period, we will contact you immediately to work together to support your child.

Parental Role

Your response as a parent is an important part of easing homesickness. While it’s natural to miss your camper, try to avoid passing your own anxieties on to them.

For example:

• Instead of: “I’m going to miss you so much,”

• Try: “I can’t wait for you to get home and tell me all the awesome things you do at camp this week!”

By focusing on excitement and encouragement, you help your camper transition more smoothly and enjoy their time at camp.

Requesting a Cabin Mate

• You may request one cabin mate for your camper through the registration form.

• Requests must be mutual — both families must agree.

• Campers must be within one year of age or grade and have the same or compatible gender identity.

• Campers must be in the same program and session to be housed together.

• While we do our best to accommodate requests, no cabin mate requests are guaranteed.

Please submit all cabin mate requests in writing at the time of registration.

Cabin Groups & Housing

Campers are assigned to cabin groups of 8–10 campers, with two staff members serving as their counselors. Cabin groups are organized based on:

• Age

• Gender identity

• Program registration

Lodging Options

Camp Jorn offers a variety of lodging, including:

• Cabins

• Yurts

• Platform tents

Assignments are based on program, session length, and camper age.

Personal Space

• Each camper has their own bunk and storage area to call their own during their stay at camp.

• This personal space helps campers feel comfortable, organized, and independent while at camp.

Early Pick-Up

If your camper needs to leave camp early, please notify us in advance by:

• Calling the office: 715-543-8808

• Emailing: jenn@campjornymca.org

Be sure to provide the date and time you plan to pick up your camper so staff can have them ready when you arrive. You may also notify us at check-in if you know ahead of time.

Important: All campers must sign out at the office if leaving at any time other than the scheduled end-of-session departure.

Family Visits

We love having families involved in camp, but visits are not allowed during your camper’s session.

If you would like to arrange a tour before your camper’s session begins, please contact our registrar Jenn Davis,  715-543-8808 ext 0201 or email jenn@campjornymca.org.

This ensures you can see camp, meet staff, and get familiar with the environment before your child arrives.

lectronics Policy

Camp Jorn is a place for campers to connect with people in real and meaningful ways and to enjoy nature’s beauty and unique sounds.

To support this experience, cell phones, computers, iPods, and other electronic devices are not allowed at camp.

This policy helps campers:

• Build friendships through direct interaction

• Fully engage in activities and the natural environment

• Disconnect from screens and enjoy the camp experience

Bedwetting

If your camper occasionally experiences bedwetting, please let us know in the Letter to the Counselor. This allows us to prepare the bunk counselors and ensure your child is supported.

What to Bring

• Your child should bring their own pull-ups.

• They can change into them at night in whichever way is most comfortable:

  • In their suitcase in the cabin bathroom

  • Stored in the health lodge and changed in a private bathroom

Support & Privacy

• Staff often encourage campers to wake a staff member and a buddy if they need to use the bathroom at night.

• If an accident occurs, staff follow a strict privacy protocol and wash the bedding in the health lodge.

• Counselors are supportive, understanding, and kind — bedwetting is a common situation at camp, and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

The more openly your camper communicates with their counselor, the better we can help with clean sheets, clothes, or any other needs.

Swim Evaluation & Waterfront Safety

All campers participate in a swim evaluation on their first afternoon at camp.

What Happens During the Swim Evaluation

• Campers go to the waterfront with their cabin group.

• They are asked to:

  • Jump into the lake

  • Swim 2–4 lengths

  • Tread water

• Campers who feel this is unattainable may jump in the shallow section and blow bubbles.

• Participation is never forced; all campers are supported and encouraged at their own pace.

Safety & Supervision

• Our staff are well-trained to help children who are uncomfortable or afraid in the water.

• Extra lifeguards are on duty during evaluations.

• Campers are classified as:

  • Non-swimmer

  • Beginner

  • Intermediate

  • Advanced

• Swim classifications determine how deep a camper may safely swim.

Inclusive Water Activities

• A shallow swim section allows most campers to touch the bottom.

• Life jackets are available at the swim docks, so campers of all skill levels can safely enjoy the water.

Bathroom & Shower Facilities (KYBOs)

Camp Jorn’s “KYBOs” are modern bathroom facilities with toilets and showers for campers to use.

Cabin Bathrooms

• Many cabins for younger campers have bathrooms inside the cabin.

• Some housing requires an outdoor walk to the nearest bathroom or shower — be sure to pack a flashlight for nighttime trips.

• All campers will shower in the KYBOs.

• Campers will be shown the nearest bathroom and shower locations once at camp.

Privacy & Comfort

• All showers and bathroom stalls have doors or curtains for privacy.

• We recommend campers bring:

  • A shower caddy to carry toiletries to and from the bathhouse

  • Shower shoes for hygiene and safety

Health & Insurance

Health and accident insurance coverage for each camper is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

• You will be billed by the medical facility or camp for any medical or prescription charges incurred on your camper’s behalf, which can then be reimbursed to camp.

• A copy of your camper’s health insurance card is required to accompany the Health History Form.

• If your camper does not have health insurance, you will be asked to sign a waiver.

Lost & Found

Lost and found items are displayed on picnic tables in front of the Program Center.

• When you check your camper out, feel free to look for any lost items.

• All unclaimed items not picked up within two weeks will be donated to a local charity.

• If you request a return of lost items, you will be charged for shipping unless you can arrange a local pick-up.

• To prevent lost items, please label all belongings with your camper’s first and last name.

• If found items are labeled, we do not typically contact families directly — it is your responsibility to reach out if you want the item returned.

Cell Phones & Communication

We understand that in today’s world of instant communication, it can be challenging for parents to be away from their camper. However, the camp experience is greatly enhanced when children unplug from their devices and fully enjoy every moment of camp without experiencing “FOMO” (fear of missing out).

• Cell phones are not allowed for campers at Camp Jorn YMCA.

• Do not promise your camper that they will be able to call home, as this can increase homesickness and create unnecessary stress.

• If an urgent problem arises at camp, we will contact you immediately.

This policy helps campers focus on making friends, exploring nature, and engaging in activities — creating a more meaningful and memorable camp experience.

Overnight Trips & Camping Experiences

All campers participate in at least one overnight camping trip with their cabin group. Leadership programs — Explorer, TEVA, LIT, and CIT — take part in multi-night trips. Trip length and location are determined by camp session, age, and ability.

Trip Locations & Experiences

• Younger campers: Overnight trips take place at Camp Jorn sites, such as Club CJ and Fox Island.

• Older campers: Often canoe to nearby DNR sites for their overnight adventure.

• Two-week campers: May go on a 2–3 day trip over the middle weekend of their session.

• Leadership campers (TEVA, LIT & CIT): Trips range from 3–6 nights, with travel several hours from camp for backpacking or canoeing. Potential destinations include:

  • Turtle Flambeau Flowage

  • Porcupine Mountains

  • Namekagon River

  • Northern Highland Forest

  • Manitowish River

  • Superior Hiking Trail

Safety & Supervision

• Campers sleep outdoors in tents during these trips.

• All trips are led by well-trained and experienced trip leaders.

• Safety is our top priority — all precautions are taken to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.

Benefits of Overnight Trips

Overnight trips provide unique educational and developmental opportunities, helping campers:

• Learn about themselves

• Connect with nature

• Overcome challenges

• Work together as a group

These experiences are a core part of the Camp Jorn experience, fostering independence, teamwork, and confidence in a natural setting.

Behavior Management & Anti-Bullying Policy

The safety and well-being of your child — and all campers — is our top priority. Camp Jorn provides a positive, structured environment where children can learn, grow, and enjoy summer camp.

Camp Expectations

Campers are expected to work together and practice our camp motto: “I AM THIRD”. Staff guide children through day-to-day behavior using positive techniques such as:

• Redirecting campers

• Rewarding positive behavior

• Encouraging campers to express their feelings

• Providing time for personal reflection after misbehavior

• Role-modeling positive communication and interactions

All behavior management actions are related to the camper’s actions, not their personality, and are handled promptly and respectfully. No physical punishment, humiliation, scare tactics, or controlling measures are used.

Examples of Inappropriate Behavior

• Not listening to staff or peers

• Running away from activities or cabin groups

• Hitting or physical aggression

• Using inappropriate language or having inappropriate conversations

• Bringing prohibited items to camp

• Not following safety rules during activities

Behavior Intervention Steps

If behavior is repeated or serious, Camp Jorn follows these steps:

1. First Phone Call

• Behavior: Repeated or serious inappropriate behavior

• Action: Counselor notifies Assistant Director. After discussion with the camper, a director calls the parent/guardian. Parents are informed that continued behavior may result in dismissal.

2. Second Phone Call

• Behavior: Continued unacceptable behavior

• Action: Final warning or possible dismissal from the program

3. Third Phone Call

• Behavior: Persistent unacceptable behavior

• Action: Dismissal from the camp program

Immediate Dismissal:

• Camp staff reserve the right to immediately send home a camper for chronic, extreme, or illegal behavior.

Anti-Bullying Policy

• Bullying of any type is unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal.

• Every camper has the right to a safe and positive experience.

• Campers are encouraged to talk with a staff member if they experience or witness bullying.

• Staff are trained to recognize and resolve bullying issues during staff training week.

Important: Camp fees are non-refundable and will not be prorated for early dismissal due to behavior issues.
