Prepared Kids. Confident Parents.
When we send our children to camp, we’re trusting someone else with what matters most. Parents, this page is for you. We hope you’ll find some practical resources to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident when sending your kids off to camp.
How Camps Prepare
Most camps don’t advertise their emergency planning, but it’s happening behind the scenes. Most camps work on the following year-round:
Emergency Plans
Weather Monitoring
Staff Training and Drills
Medical Response
Relationships with Local Responders
A Parent’s Guide to Camp Safety
A simple overview of how camps prepare for emergencies and how you can support your camper before they leave home.
A Note from Patrick
As a father of young campers myself, I know the feeling of dropping them off at camp for the first time, knowing they’ll be safe and nurtured, yet aware of the small doubts that pop up as you drive away.
Those feelings are a natural part of being a good parent.
That is why I do this work. My commitment is simple: to help foster a culture of preparedness so that camp will continue to be a place of adventure, growth, and friendship.
