This category emphasizes the importance of creating a camp environment that respects and honors diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. 

Camps can achieve this through culturally diverse programming, staff training on racial bias and inclusion, and fostering open dialogues about race and ethnicity. By doing so, camps help all campers appreciate diversity, understand the importance of racial equity, and build a community that thrives on mutual respect and understanding.
