Learning Camps Information This page provides information beyond the HCOS Code of Conduct and Terms & Conditions page. Face to Face Learning Camps Expectations Spaces are often limited for Learning Camps. If you sign up, attendance is expected.  Communicate any foreseeable absences in advance of a Learning Camp to allow other students to take your place. Arrive prior to the start time of the event. You need to check-in with your coordinator for attendance, so the event can begin on time. Take note of all information conveyed in the welcome email. Bring any supplies requested, and show up prepared for the day according to the uniqueness of each event. Behavior  When in the community, behavior at a Learning Camp is a reflection of HCOS as a school.  Behavior, tone, and our words are important. Please refer to the Biblical attributes within our learner profile as a guide to what we are working towards, including our expectations of speech and conduct. Participating students and families are expected to act respectfully and conduct themselves in an appropriate manner to all involved in the HCOS LG setting. Learning Camps often utilize external vendors' facilities that have their own rules and policies, not directed by HCOS. Follow venue rules and policies respectfully.

This helps ensure that participants are able to competently log in and use Zoom functions, etc. which helps the event to run smoothly. Please arrive 5 minutes prior to the start time of the event so that everyone can be admitted to the online room prior to the event beginning. Zoom etiquette Refrain from adding filters (sunglasses, hats, accessories) onto faces Your zoom name ID must be the participant name and should not be renamed during the online session  John John Doe Doe family Proper use of chat function. Should only be related to the topic of the Learning Camp. Always mute your microphone unless called on to speak by the presenter. Your camera may be on or off - it’s up to you. Refrain from eating a meal or food during the Learning Camp. Be aware of whether participation is per student or per screen sign-up (see our FAQ- Applications for details), this will be indicated in the application. Ie.if sign-up and payment is per child, if you only sign-up one child- additional siblings should not appear on the screen or participate in any way in the zoom session. Zoom troubleshooting If you are experiencing a poor connection (freezing, lagging audio or choppy video), try turning your webcam off to save data. If that doesn’t work: If possible, use a laptop that is hard wired to your router. Move closer to your wifi router for a stronger signal (and better speeds). Try connecting with a phone or tablet using LTE - just be careful and watch data usage (See below for more tips to reduce data use). Connect to 5Ghz instead of 2.5Ghz (many newer routers do this automatically) - important for apartments and more densely populated areas. You typically need at least 15mbps down/1mbps up connection for zoom to “work”. Better internet speeds will ensure it works well (if available in your area - some remote and Northern areas unfortunately still do not have consistent access to quality high speed internet. Turn off the HD option in Zoom’s video settings, and turn off all filters and backgrounds. Generally, the less devices connected to your home network at the time you are using zoom, the better the quality of your zoom experience will be. Check Zoom’s website for more troubleshooting tips .
