What Camps Are Saying

Our year-round camp program has prioritized training all staff and volunteers on child sexual abuse for decades. As a Camp Director, the CampSafe® program is the only program we have found thus far that understands and focuses on the goals of protecting youth specifically in a summer camp setting. The CampSafe® program is thorough, focused on protecting and empowering youth, and provides staff with the tools needed to make camp a safer place.
Camp Director
SeaCamp, Florida
Camp Zoo at the Phoenix Zoo started using CampSafe® last summer, and my only regret is not starting it sooner! We used to do our abuse prevention in house, and I personally found using CampSafe® to be much more effective! I found CampSafe® to be the most inclusive of diverse backgrounds, and it was competitively priced. We plan to renew it for next summer as well!

This is an extremely comprehensive course that covers everything our staff needs to know about consent, bodily autonomy, safe boundaries, and reporting.
