9 Steps to Camp Safety
We recently held a camp safety presentation at the ACA 2008 National Conference in Tennessee. This presentation included 9 steps for staff to help make your camp safe this summer. These tips proved to be very effective and are included in the 2008 Camp Safety Training. The 9 steps are:
-
Just do your job
-
Supervise
-
Mind the gap
-
Counselors guard too
-
Scanning
-
Buddies are lifeguards
-
Progressive discipline
-
We don’t catch abusers abusing...
-
Care like crazy
Please read the attached presentation as each step will go into more detail. Furthermore, this is a great opportunity to create discussion in preparation for the summer. Please reply to this thread below by writing a comment in the appropriate box. We would love to hear your thoughts on each step or even steps you may take with your own staff. What are some practices you have to prevent child abuse or improve aquatics safety? The best learning is from experience. Thanks and have a fun and safe summer!
