At CentriKid, we require each church to commit to running background checks on the sponsors they bring. For our camp staff we have a detailed process that involves screening applications, interviewing, and running background checks on every staffer who works with us. We go further also by providing training and ongoing refreshers for staff through the summer to sharpen their skills and keep safety on their minds.
We consider the opportunity to lead camp for kids an amazing privilege. We consider the trust shown by churches as something to be taken very seriously. In fact we consider it one of our top promises to churches and parents … to create a safe place for kids at camp.
