Camper Safety

Camper safety is our number one priority!

The American Camp Association is the leading authority in youth development, and 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. 


  • Our staff is trained and certified in every activity we offer before campers arrive.
  • Staff is also First Aid, and CPR certified.  This summer, a selected group of counselor will also be Lifegaurd certified and will be on duty during pool use. 
  • A Camp Nurse will attend to any medical needs that arise and administer medications that you send. 
  • We will make sure your child stays hydrated and fed throughout the day.
  • Also, we have a child protection plan in place to ensure that Camp RIO is a healthy, safe place for your child to thrive!  
  • With the emergence of COVID-19, we have also implemented preventative safety procedures.
  • A fence secures our entire camp property with two entrance gates kept locked and monitored with security cameras at all times. 
  • We have rigorous policies on who we allow into the campgrounds. All visitors must also report to the main office for a background screening. 
  • Approved visitors are accompanied by a staff member at all times. 
  • Campers are never left unsupervised, and counselors follow the rule of 3: Counselors and campers must always travel in a group of 3 at all times. 
  • Camper updates are provided to parents through the Bunk1  app.
  • We want the safest camp experience for your child and welcome your input or suggestions on our policies.

Communication With Your Child While At Camp

Stay in touch with your child during overnight camp

  We understand that it can be difficult for many families to have a child spend time away from home, especially if it's the first time. That is why we give parents updates on their campers using Bunk1.   

What is Bunk1?

 Bunk1  is a face recognition software that allows families an easy way of staying connected with their child(ren) while at camp by providing photos, handwritten notes, and videos straight to your account.    

How Do I Get Started?

 Once you register your child for overnight camp, the summer camp manager will inform you when it's time to start your Bunk1 account.  You can also search for Bunk1 in your App Store.

Photo Gallery With Facial Recognition

  • Upload a profile photo of your camper. The facial recognition feature will scan all the uploaded photos and notify you when photos of your camper are detected.
