Policy on Disruptive Behavior
At Bay Area Role Playing Games, our mission is to foster safe, fun, and collaborative environments where players can immerse themselves in the joys of role-playing games. To maintain this atmosphere, we uphold high standards for respectful and inclusive behavior during all sessions.
While we encourage creativity and expression, disruptive behavior undermines the experience for others and will not be tolerated. Disruptive behavior includes, but is not limited to:
- Acts of physical violence or destruction.
- Antagonism or hostility towards other players or staff.
- Repeated interruptions or refusal to follow the Dungeon Master’s instructions.
- Any actions that foster a hostile or unsafe play environment.
A hostile environment is one in which players feel unsafe, excluded, or intimidated, or where the enjoyment and collaborative spirit of the group is consistently disrupted.
Progressive Discipline
We believe in addressing challenges collaboratively and fairly. When disruptive behavior occurs, we will take the following steps to resolve the issue:
- On-Site Resolution: The instructor will first address the behavior directly with the participant to try to resolve it during the session.
- Parent/Guardian Communication: If the behavior persists, we will contact the participant’s parent or guardian by phone to discuss the issue and seek a solution together.
- Removal from Program: If the behavior continues despite these efforts, Bay Area Role Playing Games reserves the right to remove the participant from the group or program.
Our Commitment
We are committed to working collaboratively with parents to find a solution that supports all players. Our priority is to ensure a safe, engaging, and positive environment for everyone.
Refund Policy
Refunds will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please note that in most instances, fees for camps or sessions already attended will not be refunded.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain an enjoyable and inclusive space for all participants. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
“Henry loves D&D camp. I enjoy that Henry is excited about and looks forward to D&D camp every day. I enjoy listening to my kid get into character and hearing his love for this game in his voice. He takes this game seriously. Henry said, it was very fun and he really likes the whimsy in the game. The camp is just good. He really likes the group of kids and you (Teddy) are really good at leading the group.”
