IS IT SAFE TO SEND YOUR DAUGHTER TO A
COED OVERNIGHT CAMP?
3

• Going to overnight camp offers your daughter an
  amazing opportunity to develop her confidence and
  independence.

4

• Yet, it is normal to have some concerns regarding
  how she will be supervised at a co-ed camp where
  the campers mix with the opposite sex during
  their daily activities.

5

• Fortunately, your daughter is just as secure in a
  mixed group at camp as she would be at school,
  and shes possibly even safer.

6

• Here are some of the ways in which co-ed camps
  ensure the safety of their campers that should
  help ease your concerns.

7
BUNK COUNSELORS
8

• From the moment a child arrives at camp, they are
  assigned a cabin that comes with counselors who
  live side by side with the children.

9

• These counselors make sure that every girl in
  their cabin is accounted for throughout the day
  and safely tucked into their bunk at night.

10

• As campers and their counselors bond, they also
  become an excellent role model whom girls can
  turn to if they have a concern.

11
PACKED SCHEDULES
12

• Every camper can relate to the sound of the early
  morning wake-up call, and you can trust that your
  daughter will be busy from the moment her feet
  hit the cabin floor.

13

• Whether shes out on the water learning how to
  maneuver a kayak or singing songs around the
  campfire, your daughter will be immersed

14

• in a steady stream of activities that not only
  helps to build her skills, but that also are
  designed to keep kids out of trouble.

15

• In fact, campers in a co-ed group have the unique
  opportunity of spending time with members of the
  opposite sex

16

• while participating in wholesome activities
  that bring out everyones strengths.

17
CONSTANT ADULT SUPERVISION
18

• Camp staff members are well aware of the dynamics
  that can occur in a co-ed group.

19

• For this reason, they make sure that qualified,
  trained adults, who understand how to keep kids
  involved in their activities, constantly
  supervise every child.

20

• Counselors bunk with the campers, eat meals
  together and accompany their assigned group
  throughout the entire daily schedule so that no
  child is ever left alone.

21

• It is also important to note that many camps have
  several extra staff members in attendance

22

• during mixed-group leisure activities to ensure
  that everyone adheres to the rules.

23
ON-SITE MEDICAL STAFF
24

• Although adequate supervision tends to keep most
  accidents from occurring, having on-site medical
  staff

25

• can provide you with a little extra reassurance
  that your daughter will be safe.

26

• During every activity, campers are taught to
  follow important safety rules, and many athletic
  activities

27

• require campers to demonstrate specific skills
  before they are able to move up to the next level.

28

• Should an accident occur, or your daughter just
  needs to ask questions, you can trust that there
  is a doctor or nurse nearby trained to handle any
  situation.

29

• Sending your daughter to a co-ed overnight camp
  will naturally require you to learn to let go as
  she gains her independence.

30

• Co-ed groups offer several advantages over an
  all-girls camp since the campers are provided

31

• with a chance to learn how to live and learn in
  a mixed-group setting in a supervised environment.

32

• As you plan your daughters camp adventure this
  year, remember that boys and girls have been
  going to co-ed camps for years

33

• and your preferred camp will have safeguards in
  place to ensure your daughters well-being at all
  times.
