Building a Camp-Centered Risk Management Framework

This in-depth webinar provides camp and youth-serving organization leaders with a practical, holistic understanding of risk management as both a protective framework and a strategic decision-making tool.  

Designed for directors, senior staff, and high-risk activity leaders, the session moves beyond compliance to help participants actively apply risk management principles across operations, governance, finance, programming, staffing, and technology to build an organizational culture of safety. 

Why You Should Attend
