Coalition for the Protection of Children

Stay safe and soak up the sun! ☀️

Let’s turn safety into a summer routine this Safety Month.

Embrace those sunny days while keeping yourself protected!

🌞 Let’s keep our kids safe and smiling this summer with expert staff and secure spaces!

Cheers to a season packed with fun adventures ahead! 🎉

Open conversations keep kids safe! 🛡️

Ask your child:

• “Who can you turn to if you feel unsafe?”

• “What would you do if something feels off?”

• “Is there anything about camp that makes you anxious?”

Children share more when they know you’re there to listen without judgment. 💬

Is your child ready to stay home alone? 🤔

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer! Consider:

• Their maturity and ability to safely feed themselves

• Their comfort level

• The duration they’ll be alone

• Knowledge of emergency contacts, phone access, & nearby safe adults

Remember: Young children should NEVER be left unsupervised. When in doubt, choose supervision! 🛡️

Water fun means safety first! 💦

Ask camps:

• Are lifeguards certified for swimming areas?

• Is staff trained in CPR and first aid?

• How do they support non-swimmers?

• What are the supervision ratios at pools or beaches?

Always prioritize safety with water activities! 🌊

This season, let’s put child safety first! 🌟

Ensure easy access to shaded spots, cool indoor spaces, and scheduled water breaks at camps.

Keep our kids safe and active! 💧

Spread the word and share the message!

Supervision is safety!

Children should never be left alone with just one staff member. 🛑

Camps must establish clear monitoring rules to ensure every child is safe throughout the day.

Strong supervision not only prevents harm but also builds trust! 💪✨

🌟 Tip of the Week: Choose Camps with Trained Staff! 🌟

Before signing up your child, make sure to ask camps about:

• Staff training (preferably SCARS-trained or similar)

• Thorough background checks

• Clear supervision policies

• Safe staff-to-child ratios

A secure camp ensures kids are seen, supported, and supervised! 🏕️

🌞 May marks the start of our Summer Safety Series!

As families gear up for camps, outdoor fun, and activities, we’re here to share simple tips that ensure your children stay safe, supported, and protected all summer long.

Let’s make informed choices for a safer season ahead!

Prioritizing child safety starts with us.

Let’s listen, believe, and create open conversations to support and protect our children.

Engaging communities can build trust and awareness, ensuring kids feel safe sharing their experiences.

Every action matters. Together, we can foster a nurturing environment that empowers children to thrive! 🌟
