CAMANO SAIL AND POWER, LLC. Youth (under 18) Programs PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT

"You have not won in competition if, in the process of winning, you have lost the respect of your fellow competitors."  Paul Elvstrom, Olympian, 5-time  gold medalist sailor.
While on Washington State Park property or the property of host programs and/or during Camano Sail and Power programs:
1.    I will demonstrate good sporting behavior.  I understand that respect for other participants, coaches, officials, volunteers, other teams, and spectators are essential for sporting competition and fair play.
2.    I agree to accept and carry out the instructions of the staff and volunteers.
3.    I will attempt to resolve any problems  with my team members that may arise, first with the member or members themselves before contacting the staff.  If it is necessary to discuss a problem with the staff, I agree to do it in private. 
4.    I understand that alcohol, controlled substances and weapons are prohibited.
5.    I will be respectful of other people's possessions and property and will refrain from activities that may cause damage to either.
6.    I understand that the equipment that I am using is expensive, does not belong to me, and must be used by others who will be trying to learn as I am.  I will therefore strive to not abuse the equipment and to leave it clean and neat when I am finished at the end of each class or use.
7.    I understand that it is my responsibility to report any breakage or missing equipment to the staff so that it can be fixed for the next user.
8.    I understand that I am financially responsible for any damage that I may cause when disobeying rules.
9.    I understand that the class is a team and that the team cannot proceed any faster than the slowest member.  I therefore understand that it is in the best interests of the team and in the true spirit of sportsmanship for me to help other team members who may not understand as well  as I or who are perhaps having a problem.
