Camp Safety | Joffe Emergency Services
Camp season 2026 — most camps open between May and August. We can have your core plan in place in weeks. 1-800-913-6270
Camp Safety · 2026 Season

Your camp opens in weeks. Be ready for what the day brings.

A 24/7 crisis hotline, ready-to-use emergency plans, staff training, and expert guidance — built to give camp directors confidence from the first bus arrival to closing ceremonies.

Start of Season

You still have time to put the right systems in place.

Most of what a camp needs to be prepared can be built and delivered before opening day. Our team helps you get there quickly, without pulling your leadership off enrollment, hiring, and program planning.

24/7
Direct access to emergency experts when something happens at camp.
Why this matters now

Camp directors already care about safety. The question is bandwidth.

Between April and May, your leadership is hiring counselors, confirming enrollment, training staff, and running a dozen logistics tracks at once. Emergency preparedness is on the list, but it rarely gets the uninterrupted time it deserves.

That's where we come in. Joffe provides experienced safety professionals, ready-to-use plans and templates, and a team you can call the moment something happens at camp. We give you the structure and the backup so your leadership can stay focused on delivering a great summer.

What You Get

Built for the realities of running a camp.

Each camp is different, and your plan should be too. Here's the foundation every partner camp gets access to from day one.

01 / Response

24/7 Emergency Hotline

Direct access to experienced emergency and safety professionals, any hour of any day. When something happens at camp, you're not alone and you're not guessing.

  • Live voice support, not a call center script
  • Guidance from staff who've managed real incidents
  • Follow-up documentation and debrief support
02 / Preparation

Emergency Action Plans

Ready-to-use plan templates designed for camp operations, then customized to your facility, activities, and staff structure. No starting from a blank page.

  • Medical emergencies, severe weather, lost camper, evacuation
  • Aquatic, adventure, and transportation protocols
  • Parent communication and reunification procedures
03 / People

Staff Training Resources

Live online training sessions led by Joffe safety experts — not pre-recorded modules. We work through drills, response protocols, and your emergency action plan together, so your team leaves knowing exactly what to do and why.

  • Live online sessions led by Joffe safety experts
  • Incident response drills and tabletop exercises run live with your team
  • Emergency action plan built collaboratively during the sessions, with supporting safety documents included
04 / Documentation

Document & Policy Templates

The paperwork that keeps a camp operating safely and defensibly. Forms, checklists, and policies ready to adapt to your program.

  • Incident reports, medical forms, release documents
  • Daily safety checklists for waterfront, kitchen, and grounds
  • Parent-facing policy language and communication templates
Who We Work With

Day camps, overnight camps, and specialty programs.

Every camp has its own shape. We tailor our support to match how yours actually runs.

Day Camps

Transportation, field trips, heat management, dismissal procedures, and the parent-communication cadence that day camps live and die by.

Overnight Camps

After-hours incident response, health center protocols, cabin-level supervision, and the extended-stay risks that come with residential programs.

Specialty Camps

Activity-specific safety protocols for water, horses, adventure, arts, and faith-based programs. We build around what your camp actually does.

How We Start

A conversation, then a plan.

We start by learning how your camp runs — your facility, your team, the activities you offer, and the specific things that keep you up at night. From there we build the plan that fits.

    Schedule a Call

    A focused 30-minute conversation about your camp, your goals, and where your current preparedness sits today.

  2. 02

    Get Your Plan

    We put together a straightforward proposal priced based on your needs, scoped to what can realistically be delivered before your season.

  3. 03

    Get Ready for Opening Day

    We build, deliver, and train alongside your team. You walk into the season with the plans, tools, and backup already in place.
