The importance of summer camp safety: our standards and practices

Summer is an exciting time filled with outdoor adventures, new friendships and unforgettable camping moments. However, beyond fun, it is crucial to recognize and prioritize a fundamental aspect: safety. In this text, we will explain to you the vital importance of maintaining a safe environment at summer camps and how this guarantees a truly unforgettable experience for all your sons and daughters.

Safety, a fundamental pillar

In any environment, whether in nature, in a camp, or anywhere else, safety must be a top priority. In summer camps, where children and young people spend time away from home, it is even more crucial to ensure a safe and secure environment. Safety isn't just about avoiding physical injury, but also about promoting an emotionally safe environment where all campers feel comfortable and supported.

Prevention and Preparedness

Prevention is the key to staying safe at summer camps. Before the camping season begins, comprehensive inspections of facilities and equipment should be carried out to identify potential risks and take preventive measures. In addition, it is essential to train staff in safety procedures, first aid and emergency response to ensure a quick and effective response in the event of any eventuality.

Safety culture

Fostering a culture of safety in the camp is essential to ensure that all participants understand the importance of following safety rules and procedures. This can be achieved through information sessions, educational activities, and the example of camp staff. By promoting individual and collective responsibility for safety, an environment is created in which everyone feels committed to their well-being and that of others.

Safe environment

A safe summer camp not only protects campers from injuries and accidents, but it also provides an environment in which they can grow, learn, and fully enjoy the experience. When boys and girls feel safe and secure, they are more open to exploring new activities, making friends and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Safety is a fundamental aspect in summer camps that cannot be overlooked. By prioritizing it and promoting a culture of care and responsibility, an environment is created in which everyone can fully enjoy the camp experience. So the next time you join a summer camp, remember that safety is the key to a truly unforgettable experience.

At Camp Santa Úrsula, the best Summer Camp in San Luís Potosí, “safety first and foremost” is our motto. Our camp is fully fenced and guarded 24 hours a day, we have highly trained personnel in each of the areas and our facilities and equipment are in perfect condition thanks to constant maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions about the camp

We answer all your questions!

What is the age range for children to sign up for camp?

In the Camps we only welcome boys and girls from 7 to 15 years of age.

Who takes care of the children?

The children are cared for by an instructor and an assistant, together with instructors specialized in various activities and camp managers who are on the lookout for all campers.

If my child goes with a friend can they be together?

Yes, as long as the children are the same age and both they and the parents agree. Although we can't commit to more than 3 campers on the same team.

Do the rooms or cabins have their own bathrooms?

The vast majority of rooms or cabins have their own bathroom.

Do you help young children bathe and dress?

No, we ask that you consider that children should be independent in activities such as bathing, dressing, combing their hair, going to the bathroom and taking care of their things. Instructors are waiting, but cannot take care of each child individually.

How is communication with children? Can we talk to them?

Calls are not allowed. The communication is through messages on the camp page, delivered daily at breakfast time or the first activity in the morning. Children respond to these messages in letters that are taken photos and sent to the parents' emails.

If my child is carrying medications, how do they manage them?

We have medical staff who administer medications. Parents should write down the information in the registry and hand in medications when leaving their children at the camp.

What do you do in case of an accident? Do they warn us?

The protocols are followed. In case of minor injuries, there is no warning so as not to worry parents. There's a paramedic in the camp. In more serious cases, parents are contacted before taking the child to the hospital.

Do you have any health insurance?

Yes, we have accident insurance that covers up to $150,000.00.
