Pictures Usage
The majority of the pictures found on this site have been taken by the author of this site.  The author retains full copyright on all pictures and any use of the pictures requires his permission.  It is the author's belief that no child can be recognized from any of the pictures available for public viewing.  If you do happen to find a picture which you believe positively identifies your child, please let the author know immediately so the picture can be removed.  Pictures on this site are to give a sample of activities while out at camp for everyone to enjoy.

E-mail Notifications
The system sends out e-mail notification to the primary e-mail address on file for varying reasons.  Reasons include initial camper enrollment, staff applications, camper payment receipt notification, payment summaries, camper ticket, as well as waitlist notifications.  From time to time, the system may broadcast out a message with more information about Outdoor Education Laboratory.  If you do not wish to receive notifications from this system, send a message to the address below stating this request. 

Outdoor Education Laboratory cannot be held responsible for failure to receive e-mails either because you have selected not to receive e-mails, your e-mail client discarded the message due to spam filters or other filters, because you did not read the message in a timely factor, or for any other reason.  When a message has been sent out, OEL assumes that you have received the message and have read the message in detail.

Information Collection
This website collects varying levels of information from the users of the site.  The levels are broken down in more detail below.  None of the information is sold to any third-party company. Several security measures are in place to ensure your information is not compromised including password protections on the databases where the information is stored as well as SSL keys used for transmission of important data like credit card numbers when you purchase through the site directly.  We take your privacy seriously.

General Public: The company that hosts the website collects non-personally-identifiable information to process your requests for viewing the site.  Such information includes your IP address, date and time, and the page you are requesting.  This is standard information collected by most all websites.  This information is used to manage the website and is recorded for security reasons.

Camper Enrollment: This website collects user submitted information such as names, e-mail address, phone numbers, addresses, and ages for the purpose of camper enrollment.  Primary Parent's age is collected to verify the age to comply with government laws regarding information collection practices.  When you supply the information, you will also create a password.  This password prevents unauthorized people from seeing your information.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT.  Information supplied during enrollment will be available only to authorized Outdoor Education Laboratory staff for the purpose of operating the camp.  All credit card numbers will be suppressed except for the last four digits.

Staff Application: This website collects user submitted information such as names, e-mail address, phone numbers, addresses, and ages.  The age information is collected to comply with government laws regarding information collection practices as well as minimum age requirements due to Kansas state child labor laws.  OEL does not discriminate based on age.

When you apply, you will be also creating a new user account.  You will create a new username and supply a password.  This password prevents unauthorized people from seeing your information.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD AND FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT.  The system will send out an e-mail to verify your e-mail address to ensure that e-mail communications are possible with the applicant.  While logged into your application/staff account, the system collects data including user tracking which is used for general usage patterns for future development of the site.
