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! šŸ™‚

"I found this training to be very helpful and insightful. The training really improved my awareness and provided strategies to speak to young people and adults about this issue. I also had no idea how prevalent sexual abuse is in the United States."Ā 
Residential Camp Counselor, WI
"As a teacher with 38 years of experience and former camp staff member with 19 years of experience, it is reaffirming to see the extent of training on sexual abuse required by camps and related groups. Thanks!"Ā 
Staff Leadership, National Teen Program
"This is an extremely comprehensive course that covers everything our staff needs to know about consent, bodily autonomy, safe boundaries, and reporting."
Staff Leadership, Residential Camp, WA
"I feel way more prepared."Ā 
Camp Counselor, Residential Camp, NM
"After learning and practicing the skills this course has very intentionally taught me, I feel more confident in my role and responsibilities as a camp counselor."Ā 
Camp Counselor, Residential Camp, NC
"Solid training modules, appreciate the ease of use and sensitivity in its language."
Residential Camp Counselor, OH
I've done this training the previous summer, and it still amazes me how good the website and the training is done. It's not boring at all, it keeps you interested the whole time, and the activities makes it more enjoyable. I really don't mind taking this training each year, because I always remember a few things I might have forgotten, and that could help me in the future, at camp or anywhere else. 10/10
Camp Counselor, Residential Camp, MA
The website was super easy to navigate, the information was presented in various interesting formats for all different styles of learning, information was easy to understand and very detailed.
Camp Counselor, Residential Camp, ME
My experience with the CampSafe training has been incredibly enlightening and impactful. The program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of child sexual abuse, including how to recognize the signs, prevent potential situations, and respond appropriately to protect children. The training was well-structured, easy to follow, and emphasized the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for all campers. I feel much more confident and prepared to contribute to a safe camp experience this summer.
Camp Counselor, Residential Camp, MA
Going through the CampSafe training was an essential experience. It helped me understand not only the signs and risk factors of child sexual abuse, but also how to create a safer environment for all campers. The training emphasized the importance of setting clear boundaries, staying vigilant, and reporting anything suspicious without hesitation. I now feel more confident in my ability to recognize red flags and intervene appropriately. CampSafe made me realize that prevention starts with awareness and that every staff member plays a crucial role in protecting children..
