WE ARE THE ONLY CAMP SAFETY FOUNDATION IN AMERICA. This may be hard to believe, considering roughly 30,000 day and resident (overnight) camps represent a $26 billion industry serving 25 million children and 1.5 million camp employees. Camps are beloved. They can provide opportunities for social, emotional, cultural and physical growth. However, a stunning lack of safety regulations fails to prevent sexual abuse, emotional abuse, disease, injuries and deaths from enduring at camps. We work with vital stakeholders to maximize benefit and minimize harm.

The U.S. has roughly 10 million private and public pools and 100,000 miles of exterior and interior open water shoreline. Childhood drowning continues to be a national health and safety crisis that does not receive the attention it so desperately deserves. Legislation is sorely lacking. Water safety education is rarely taught in school health programs. And, nearly 90% of young children drown in pools, bathtubs and even buckets of water under the supervision of nearby adults.
