Compliance for Camper Safety and Abuse

CCCA exists to maximize ministry for member camps and conference centers. We encourage the commitment to camper safety for every member. This includes the physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual safety of campers, staff members and volunteers.

As an association we have always and continue to condemn in the strongest terms any wrongful act or practice that places campers at risk. We are especially grieved by any case of camper sexual abuse, the harboring of abusers or the lack of reporting of suspected or reported abuse. Our member camps and conference centers should not be a safe place for abusers, so action by leadership if abuse is reported should be swift and in full compliance with the law, including reporting the allegations to local authorities.

We will continue our long-standing commitment to advocate for camper safety, camp accountability, and transparency as well as encouraging training on camper abuse prevention and impeccable safety practices at camp. And we will continue to promote programs that train and support camps and help them keep campers safer, as CCCA has done for decades.
