Camper Safety
Camper safety is our number one priority!
The American Camp Association is the leading authority in youth development. As a fully Accredited Camp through ACA, we use their standards to guide our decision-making process in all aspects of camp. These strict guidelines ensure a safe and fun summer for campers, staff, and camper families.
Personal Safety
We take our jobs seriously and your Camper's health and safety is a priority. in addition to everything below, we will make sure your child stays hydrated and fed throughout the day. We reinforce good habits such as teeth brushing and personal hygiene, and they practice being a good roommate by keeping their cabins clean.
Medical Care
Our Registered Camp Nurse will attend to any medical needs that arise and administer medications that you send. Additionally, all our staff are First Aid, and CPR certified.
Staff Training
A rigorous two weeks of training occur before the summer season begins. Staff are trained in activities and must show proficiency before they can lead them. Campers are never left unsupervised, and counselors follow the rule of 3: Counselors and campers must always travel in a group of 3.
Security Guards
Camp RIO employs Security Guards to patrol the property from sundown to sunrise during our summer camp season.
Fenced Property
Camp RIO has fencing around it's 85 acres and much of it is also covered with thick thorn brush which would be difficult (and painful) to get through.
