Don’t wait to respond. Prepare to respond.
Policies and training are a good start, but they only take you so far. Statistics show that even with strong prevention efforts, all camp leaders will be called upon to respond to reports of harm during the camp season. Our trauma-informed process ensures you know how to navigate the inevitable tough situations.
How it works.
Policies and training in action. Our custom packages prepare camps with an abuse prevention foundation and step-by-step guide for responding to reports of harm. Engage us for the basics or as your on-call outside counsel. Let us give your team the tools to keep campers SummerSafe.
