What We Do

Putting child safety first

Together, we are building a movement to ensure every child is safe at summer camp.

Parent Resources

We believe parents have the power to enact change.

When parents are informed, they ask better questions.

When they ask better questions, camps raise their standards. When standards rise, every child is safer — not just the ones whose parents knew where to look. We've developed these resources to equip parents and communities with the tools to act, because every child deserves a safe summer camp experience.

Parent Resource Guide
Navigating camp safety can be difficult due to varying state standards and a lack of industry-wide standards and best practices.

Know Before You Go: A Parent’s Guide to Camp Safety addresses the challenge of navigating camp safety by offering families sample questions and clear criteria for evaluating safety protocols.

Safe Summers Fund​

We are bridging the gap for youth camps that are committed to safety but may need financial or technical support to implement new safety standards. The Safe Summers Fund is an innovative grantmaking program designed to help nonprofit summer camps make meaningful, risk-based safety improvements that protect children and strengthen camp safety systems.
