 Emergency Preparedness for Summer Camps Seminar

In 2009 the Emergency Management & Training Inc. team was called after a tornado swept through West Grey, ON tragically taking the life of an 11 year old boy who was attending a camp in the area at the time of the disaster. This being only one tragedy of many, that take place each year, we decided that we needed to help.

Emergency preparedness is vital when you are responsible for the lives of others, especially children. Attending this seminar will allow you the opportunity to learn more about keeping yourself, other staff members/volunteers and campers safe by understanding the potential emergency situations that you my face, how they can impact you and your camp and the procedures to follow in the event of an emergency.
