Child Abuse Prevention Policy

In order to assist you in understanding our policies on protecting the children in our care, listed below are portions of our Child Abuse Policy.

• At no time will a camper be deprived of food, 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 have 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 or socialize with campers outside of camp without prior approval from the Camp Director.
• We do encourage Christmas cards, birthday cards, appropriate email, and Facebook posts and encouragement to return for another year.
