Phone USE Policy:

At YEAH!, we believe in creating a focused, immersive, and distraction-free environment where campers can fully engage in music, creativity, and community. To support this, we have implemented the following phone policy for campers during camp hours:

To help everyone stay fully engaged and make the most of their camp experience, we ask that all campers place their phones in a designated, supervised area during class time. Phones will remain within sight and can be accessed during transitions between activities. Campers are not permitted to use their phones during camp activities unless there is an urgent or emergency situation. We encourage everyone to be present, participate fully, and support their fellow campers!

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us. Thank you for helping us create the best possible experience for all campers!

CAMP NORMS:

Don’t be sorry, you rock!: Everyone makes mistakes and we don’t need to apologize if we didn’t harm anyone with our mistake.
Move up, move back: We encourage everyone to step forward and also to leave space for others to step forward.
Be a croissant, not a donut: Open up and make others feel welcome.
Default to trust: Trust that everyone is coming from a good place.
Individually, I know something; together, we know a lot.
Don’t yuck my yum: Don’t make anyone feel bad for what they enjoy!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Stretch, not strain: We want to challenge ourselves, not overwhelm ourselves.
Collaboration over competition: Every voice makes the music stronger.
