Praesidium - Camp Care

Welcome Camp Directors and Employees!

Every year, camps across the country rely on thousands of employees and volunteers. Some of them have evil intentions and should never be around children. The statistics are alarming and this year included many high profile and unfortunate cases of abuse in camps.

1 in 4 females and 1 in 7 males will be sexually abused by the age of 18.
Insurance and case reviews show a 300% increase in child to child sexual abuse.
Only 4% of sex offenders have a criminal history, the rest will pass a background check.

Praesidium's camp clients know that criminal background checks are just a start when it comes to protecting the children they serve. Keeping your camp safe requires a comprehensive approach to abuse risk management.

Course Title: Keeping Your Camp Safe
Camping can be a wonderful experience for kids. They make new friends, learn new skills, and increase their self-confidence. But not if they are abused at camp by a counselor or by another peer. This module shows you where and when abuse is most likely to happen in a camp setting and steps you can take to keep kids at camp safe.

Course Title: Meet Sam
Sam molests children and in this module he tells you how he gets away with it. You learn the types of molesters and the methods they use to manipulate their coworkers, parents, and children-all to meet their own needs. You also learn how to spot interactions between adults and children that may indicate danger.
