First and foremost, to prevent harm we choose activities that are appropriate to the developmental needs of the designated age group. 

We train staff how to follow and implement our health and safety policies. 

Each guide is equipped with first aid kit and First Aid & CPR and/or Lifeguard certification. 

Lifeguards are equipped with required equipment.

Guides review health and safety protocols and first aid procedures regularly. 

When engaging in activities that could lead to injury or death, guides are vigilant and communicate appropriate safety guidelines and boundaries to campers.

Guides provide special supports for some campers based on need. Communicate any safety considerations for your camper via text/email or on the registration form prior to start of camp. 

Campers who do not follow safety guidelines communicated by guides may not be able to participate in some activities. 

If an accident or injury occurs, guides will address the injury with standard first aid protocols recommended by the American Red Cross to responders of their certification level. In the event of serious injury, 911 emergency will be called. 

The Suttle Lodge staff are on hand to assist in case of emergency.  

Campers are only released from Starshine's care to parents/guardians or person with written permission from parent/guardian to pick up camper. (Please indicate via text/email or on the registration form).

Starshine maintains a policy of confidentiality for campers' and their families private information. 

Starshine will only use a child's likeness in promotional materials with written permission from family.
