We cover everything from operating our fun-filled days of activities to safety and behavior management. We dive into the ins and outs of every camp day, covering all our guiding principles and going through minute-by-minute details. Our training partners from Frontier Safety & Supply come in and run a certification-level pediatric first aid course, including CPR and AED practice.
