Safety is our top priority! Some of our safety measures include:
- Every staff member has passed a background check performed by the Emory Police Department.
- All Camp Directors are certified in First Aid and CPR.
- We adhere to the CDC Tips for Preventing Heat-Related Illness. For more information click here.
- Counselors take roll and/or perform head checks when a camper is dropped off, when camp officially starts each day, before and after snack, before and after lunch and before and after pool time.
- Pick up codes are required for camper pickups.
- Our Building Supervisors have access to a lightning alert system, as do the Certified Lifeguards. In case of inclement weather, campers will be moved inside. This includes during carpool.
During Afternoon Swim Time:
- Certified Lifeguards are on duty at all times we are in the pool. In addition, counselors are spread out around the pool monitoring campers.
- On the first day of camp, all campers who want to swim must pass a swim test in order to enter the deep end of the pool. Everyone is allowed in the shallow end. Non-swimmers and weaker swimmers are required to wear a camp provided life vest and must stay in the shallow end. Campers who choose not to swim will play board games outside of the pool area or more tennis (High Flyers only)
- Campers are not permitted to use the high dives.
