For Parents and Guardians
You want camp to be the best week of their summer. So do we.
Around 26 million children go to camp each year in North America. When you send yours, you are trusting someone else to keep them safe. The Safety Navigator is a nonprofit that helps camps prepare for emergencies, train their staff, and build strong safety plans, all for free. The Safety Navigator helps parents understand what good camp safety looks like, and gives you the tools to ask your camp the right questions.
