Below are portions of the Child Abuse Policy in our staff manual to assist you in understanding our policies on protecting the children in our care.
- At no time will a camper be deprived of food or sleep, isolated without supervision, or be subject to ridicule, threat, corporal punishment, or excessive physical exercise.
- Staff members will be alert to any signs of abuse.
- Any information received from a camper concerning abuse is confidential and only shared by the Camp Director.
- Staff members are not permitted to be alone with individual campers in any isolated area. If counseling is being done, it should be under observation by other staff members or in an open place in view of others.
- Staff members are not allowed to share tents with campers.
- Staff members will be present in cabins when campers are sleeping, and assigned staff will patrol the Division / Cabin area when counseling staff has time off.
- The Camp Health Officer will check each camper upon arrival, before and after each trip, during Sunday inspection, and prior to returning home.
- Staff may not invite campers to their homes, socialize with campers outside of camp, or follow them on social media without prior approval from the Camp Director.
