Running a day camp requires constant vigilance when it comes to accident risks. Between sports, water games, and outdoor adventures, there are plenty of opportunities for injuries. So how can you create a safe environment while keeping the fun going? Cardio Choc offers practical solutions to help you handle emergencies effectively throughout the summer season.
Trained camp staff
Supervising children and teens requires specific first aid skills. Beyond everyday bumps and scrapes, are you prepared to handle a serious fall or an allergic reaction? First aid training tailored for camps helps staff develop the right reflexes. Thanks to our partner Santinel’s day camp first aid courses, your team will gain the skills needed to respond quickly and effectively in critical situations.
Essential equipment at your fingertips
In an emergency, every second counts. The effectiveness of your response largely depends on the quality and accessibility of your medical supplies. From basic bandages to specialized equipment, everything should be strategically organized.
Make sure that:
- you have enough first aid kits for the number of staff and children present;
- the location of the equipment is clearly marked and known to everyone;
- the equipment is easily accessible;
- the kits are regularly inspected and fully stocked.
Not sure which kit to choose? Cardio Choc offers a wide selection of first aid equipment tailored to meet the activities and needs of your camp. You’ll surely find exactly what you need in our online store.
To ensure your kits are always up to date and compliant with standards, Cardio Choc also offers an inspection service that checks the contents and expiration dates of your first aid kits.
Skills reinforcement during the season
It’s never too late to reinforce your knowledge! Even in the middle of the season, you can organize refresher sessions for your staff. These training moments help maintain a high level of expertise and reassure the entire team of their ability to respond effectively.
A Safe Summer
By implementing these measures, you create a safe environment for your staff and all the children attending your camp throughout the summer season.
