Emergency Procedures
We maintain comprehensive emergency plans that cover various scenarios, and all staff are trained in appropriate responses. We work closely with local emergency services, and parents are always notified promptly and transparently if a situation arises.
Risk Management Philosophy
We believe in providing “reasonable risks”, challenges that help children stretch their comfort zones while maintaining the highest safety standards. Through careful planning, close supervision, and ongoing staff training, we work to create an environment where campers can begin to develop their own safety mindset.
