I/we understand that serious infractions such as, but not limited to, stealing, fighting, possession of contraband on campus (weapons, drugs or alcohol), willful destruction of school property, and/or bullying (including verbal and/or sexual harassment) may result in an immediate removal from class and may result in discipline up to and including dismissal with no refund of payment.

I/We have read, understand and agree to be bound by this enrollment agreement for myself/ourselves and on behalf of my/our child/children.

Important Dates & Refund Policy:

• No refunds will be given for payments made for Camp ViBeS attendance after June 1, 2022 and families will be committed to the entire contracted amount – except as expressly set forth below in respect to Mandated Government Closures and VBS Required Closures.

• The Pandemic Refund Policy is incorporated in and made a part of the Camp ViBeS enrollment materials.

Mandated Government Closure Refund Policy:

• In the unlikely event of a Government Mandated Closure, VBS will provide refunds on the following basis for camp days occurring during the period of such closure as follows:

  • In the case of a Government Mandated Closure(s) that occurs during the 2022 Camp ViBeS season, VBS will provide a refund per student equal to 75% of the tuition that has been previously paid by the student’s family for the days that Camp ViBeS is closed due to a Government Mandated Closure.

  • Any refunds for Government Mandated Closures will be prorated for recipients of tuition assistance or other discounts.

    Camp ViBeS Closures by VBS 

    • Los Angeles County is in a different phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of our Camp ViBeS staff and participants are fully vaccinated and/or boosted. In addition, the quarantine and isolation instructions are quite different from a year ago and are much less restrictive and disruptive than previous protocols. As a result, the likelihood of a camp shutdown is quite low (especially if the downward trend of infections continues and no new variant emerges); however, as we’ve learned over the course of the past two years, anything is possible and the pandemic trajectory can change with the season. Therefore, if we find ourselves in a situation where infections are on the rise we reserve the right to shut down the camp due to an outbreak or a cluster of infections.

    • VBS will establish the length of the VBS-Determined Closure based on the current medical and County guidelines. Based upon the understanding of VBS as of February 2022, such closure period could be as long as 5-10 calendar days from the date of the positive test confirmation or onset of symptoms; however, the length of any such closure will be determined by the current medical guidelines.

    • VBS will make every effort to adhere to the current in-school modified quarantine protocols to limit the amount of disruption caused by exposure to COVID-19. All eligible students and staff will be encouraged to participate in the modified quarantine protocols. Quarantine instructions can be found here. 

    • Any student or staff who becomes positive for COVID-19 will be required to isolate at home for the required isolation period. Isolation instructions can be found here.

    • In the event of a VBS-Determined Closure, and as part of the Shared Risk established in this policy, a refund of 75% of the tuition that has been previously paid by the student’s family for the days that Camp ViBeS or a portion thereof is closed will be provided only to the families of campers who are actually required to stay away from Camp Kef during the period of a VBS-Determined Closure. 

    • Any refunds for VBS-Elected Closures will be prorated for recipients of tuition assistance or other discounts.
      
      Families Electing to Keep Students at Home

      • In addition to Government Mandated Closures and VBS-Determined Closures, VBS recognizes that parents may elect, based on their own personal comfort, to keep their camper(s) home when Camp ViBeS generally (and the student’s classroom specifically) are open.

      • In such an event, while parents are of course able to make that determination and keep a child home from camp when it is otherwise open, no refund will be provided to the family for the period of that determination as that is part of the Shared Risk established in this policy. 

TRANSPORTATION RELEASE

I/We give permission and consent to VBS and its employees and agents to take my/our child/children on field trips as part of the normal curriculum and, to the extent possible, release Valley Beth Shalom and its employees and agents from any liability for personal injury to my/our child/children or property damage, except for injuries resulting from gross negligence of Valley Beth Shalom or their employees or agents.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY RELEASE

In the event of a medical emergency, in accordance with the Valley Beth Shalom emergency procedure, I/we, the undersigned parent(s) or legal guardian(s), do hereby release the appropriate personnel of Valley Beth Shalom to either administer first aid OR release the child/children to an emergency Hospital, urgent care facility or disaster center, for further treatment, as they deem necessary. Furthermore, I/we authorize appropriate care to be rendered by a duly licensed physician, nurse, surgeon, dentist and/or medical professional. This care may be given under whatever conditions are necessary to preserve the health and safety of the child/children. I/we further agree to pay all charges for that care and/or treatment. It is understood that if time and circumstances reasonably permit, VBS personnel will try, but are not required, to communicate with me/us prior to such treatment.
