At Base Camp Gym, we strive to create a safe, encouraging, and adventure-filled environment where every athlete can learn, grow, and have fun. All students are expected to follow the Base Camp Code during every class, camp, event, and open gym.

The Base Camp Code

Be Respectful

• Treat coaches, staff, teammates, and guests with kindness and respect.
• Encourage others and celebrate their successes.
• Use appropriate language at all times.

Be Safe

• Follow coach instructions the first time they are given.
• Use obstacles and climbing equipment only when directed.

• No pushing, roughhousing, or unsafe behavior.
• Report any injuries or unsafe conditions to a coach immediately.

Athlete Expectations

Athletes who consistently demonstrate respect, responsibility, perseverance, and teamwork may earn monthly achievement pins, special recognitions, and opportunities to advance within our skill progression program.

If Expectations Are Not Met

Our coaching staff uses positive coaching and redirection whenever possible. If unsafe or disruptive behavior continues, the following steps may be taken:

1. Verbal reminder or coaching.
2. Brief break from the activity.
3. Discussion with the athlete and coach.
4. Parent notification.
5. Removal from class if behavior poses a safety risk or repeatedly disrupts instruction.

Repeated or serious violations may result in suspension or dismissal from programs at the discretion of Base Camp Gym management.

Our Goal

Every athlete who walks through our doors should feel safe, challenged, encouraged, and proud of their accomplishments. By following the Base Camp Code, we can work together to build confidence, character, and a lifelong love of movement and adventure.
