Testimonials
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! It aligned really well with our behavior/group management training and provided specific examples and scenarios to make expectations for conduct clear. I like how they emphasize the importance of modeling behavior and boundaries! I used to be a teacher, and have done many abuse prevention trainings. Personally, I found CampSafe to be the most inclusive of diverse backgrounds, and it was competitively priced–under one rate we were able to train all our staff, representatives from other departments, and volunteers. We do year-round programming, so we were even able to train our new hires for the fall/winter/spring as well. We plan to renew it for next summer as well! 🙂
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
