Summer Camp Safety

 

Thousands of children attended the county's over 250 children's summer camps.  In order to ensure a safe and healthy camping experience, staff inspect all County camps at least twice annually.

A mandatory camp operators' workshop is held in the spring and camps are required to present evidence of staff qualifications and implement comprehensive safety plans to prevent camper injury or illness.
