“This summer, it is not a question of if you will encounter a camper (or fellow staff member!) who has experienced trauma - you will.”

Summer camp provides a unique experience where we get to live in community with children from all walks of life and experiences. There is no doubt that you will encounter campers who have experienced trauma, which is why it’s so important that your staff are equipped with a trauma-informed response approach.

This training will cover:

• What a trauma-informed response is.

• Why trauma-informed responses are important.

• Big ‘T’ trauma vs little ‘t’ trauma

• Examples of trauma-informed and empathetic responses
